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.

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.
Booker's Pinkie's Batch (2022-04)
This batch is made up of four production dates that were aged in four different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's “Pinkie's Batch” is as follows: 47% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse Z, 36% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1, 11% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X, 6% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q. The color of this batch is a rich, golden amber that really shines when you hold it up to the light and admire the glass you've poured. The aroma is balanced with brown spice and vanilla notes, which gives you a preview of the taste. When you first sip it, your mouth is filled with Booker's signature vanilla flavor, and it leaves you with a lingering well-rounded finish. I know my dad and grandad would have enjoyed this batch over a football game, and I'm very proud to name this batch in honor of my granddad, Frederick Booker Noe.
