What Our Editors Thought
“Toffee and brown-sugar nose with a stiff bourbon jolt. The sip settles into a rounded leathery bitterness with a cola and spicy amaro finish for a stark counterpoint to the nose. Tightly executed and trim.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Complex blend of malt-derived aromas includes vanilla, caramel, toffee, raisin, chocolate, leather, fig. Sweet malt flavors tempered by hints of oak, sherry-like oxidation, and pleasing alcohol.”
What the Brewers Say
“Blended barleywine aged 7–19 months in 12- and 14-year-old Elijah Craig Bourbon barrels.”
