We asked our spirits guru, Travis for his pick to sip this Thanksgiving. With notes of sweet potatoes and black pepper, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is the perfect after dinner sipper.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof–or as us industry folks lovingly call it, ECBP.
This is one of the best examples of balancing elegance and strength in the bourbon world.
The nose is big with sweet potatoes and black pepper. Perfect for this time of year! On the palate you get a little more caramel and oak, with a very pleasing mouth feel. ECBP is a 12yr bourbon bottled with no dilution or chill filtering. If the ABV scares you a little bit, add some water, and it really opens up. Enjoy!
