Limited Edition Small Batch Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2025

I had a bottle of this limited edition in 2021, and at the time it was one of the best bourbons I'd ever enjoyed. Got my hands on a bottle of 2025 and it now costs considerably more. Really great juice. Although 109 proof, this does not throw too much heat. It tastes very much like a wheater (which it is not), yet the rye content is also prominent from the nose through the sip. Cherry, leather, cornbread, and cigar box. Best way I can describe it is that EH Taylor and Pappy 15 had a baby. It's very good.

Yeah! If you can find it, have someone else pay for it!

2025 limited. Great way to start the year. And “best” is a high standard coming from you so if I ever see these regardless of year I’m making your pour some!

Aw shucks! It really is that good. Keep your eyes open at high end bars and restaurants, maybe you can sample it for less than an arm and a leg

Another elegant Pinot Noir from Small Vines. Not as good as the 2017 but still a very smooth wine with excellent cherry flavor. — 5 months ago

Un booze related… but the EH Taylor cigar line is also phenomenal! A few fingers of rye on the cigar to match is fantastic.

1789 Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I’m becoming a fan of Elijah and am liking this more than the 18 but need to let that air a bit and reevaluate. This in the other hand is power and having it with nam prik is amplifying it. Wife is having Hibiki but I’m liking the heat. — 6 months ago
