Review: As a long time fan of both Elijah Craig’s standard rye and toasted whiskies, I was very excited to see this new offering coming from the Heaven Hill Distillery. This offering was not as sweet as I would have imagined for a “barely legal” rye but it still has some of the classic toasted whiskey notes. It is a bottle worth trying. Cheers!
My Rating: Sip it!
Ratings Scale:
-Spit: Don’t bother with this one. If a friend gives you a dram of it, are they even your friend?
-Shoot: Good enough to get you drunk
-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.
-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
