Private Barrel image
Elijah Craig Private Barrel
To sip Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labeled with its unique proof and batch number; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig.
 78% Corn | 10% Rye | 12% Malted Barley | High Rye

Part of the  Heaven Hill Distilleries family of brands.
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Expect a mix of sweet caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. Some may have hints of fruit, like apple or orange.
Palate: The palate often features rich vanilla and caramel, sometimes with butterscotch. Spices like cinnamon and black pepper can also be present.
Finish: The finish is usually long and layered, with flavors fading slowly and lingering as it cools.
Maker's Mark Cask Strength
This is Maker's Mark Bourbon in its purest form. Bottled at barrel proof and nonchill filtered, Maker's Mark Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels. Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker's Mark while amping up the notes of oak, caramel, vanilla and spice.
 70% Corn | 16% Wheat | 14% Malted Barley | Wheated

Part of the  Beam Suntory family of brands.
Tasting Notes

Palate: Richer, more robust flavors of spice, vanilla and smoke.
Finish: Longer finish on front of tongue with no roughness or bitterness.
