To find any Elijah Craig barrel pick is exciting. To see a price under $50 is amazing especially when prices are up on everything! Nice golden color on this 9 year bourbon. On the nose I am getting a nice smell of caramel. The caramel and some butterscotch notes come through on my first taste. Super smooth, no harsh taste, or bite, or burn. Finish of caramel and butterscotch continues all throughout and wow this is smooth! This is an easy sipper for sure. I am a bourbon hunter and Preet has more barrel picks in our area that any store I have been too. Can't wait to grab a few more! Thanks, Anthony D.
