Elijah Craig Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 23 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold glow and a mahogany edge, a luminous, mature hue hinting at decades in oak.

Nose

Opulent vanilla and caramel sweep in, softly framed by toasted oak and cedar. Beneath, spices rise—cinnamon and clove—alongside dried fig, date, and raisin. A whisper of espresso and dark chocolate adds depth, with a refined, tobacco-tinged finish and a polished oak backbone that speaks of decades in the barrel.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this 23-year-old Elijah Craig unfolds with rich caramel and vanilla, layered with toffee and brown sugar. Spices—cinnamon, clove—and a strong oak foundation weave through toasted almond and char. Dried fruit notes, espresso, and a touch of tobacco emerge, finishing long with dark chocolate, oak sweetness, and a warm, lingering glow.

Finish

Long, silky finish with warm vanilla, caramel and toasted oak, evolving into cinnamon and clove spice. Dried fruit and dark chocolate surface, leaving a citrusy orange peel glow and a final toffee-kissed warmth that lingers gracefully.
