Then I must try the Elijah Craig on your recommendation. I will also pick up a bottle of Jack Daniel’s because even though it is not bourbon, it is exquisite.
Good luck with the Elijah. The burnt cask taste almost comes across as a liqueur flavor. As mentioned, price-wise it’s my go-to, but it’s also my favorite bourbon.
I’ll be picking up another bottle tomorrow. They don’t carry it here in town, so I pick it up when I go into Sycamore on the weekends. They have a marvelous liquor store with just about anything imaginable.
