Elijah Craig Bourbon 18 Year Single Barrel Bottle:12 The 2008 Blanc de BlancsWine Enthusiast 95 points Due to inventory shortages, this bottling had been discontinued; in fall 2015, it returned after a three year hiatus. This is a robust, full flavored whiskey, scented with oak and toffee. It tastes almost like an Old Fashioned, meaning distinct orange peel and cherry notes intertwined with the vanilla and caramel. The long finish offers vanilla, oak and orange peel. 15,000 bottles released. Top 100 Spirits 2016. Kara Newman,
