Saw a 750 ml bottle going for $30.99 plus tax. That seemed a bit low for a Heaven Hill small batch offering so I pulled the trigger. Afterwards I did a little digging and it seems the going rate is about $8 or $9 more. Hopefully I made a good buy.

It used to be 22.95 for the 12 year age statement….still a good value today though (with no age statement)

I used to drink Heaven Hill bourbon - it was my go to when I was light on dough. But that was before bourbon got popular. Not anywhere near as good as my favorite - Hiram Walker Deluxe.
If it doesn't come close to wowing you, try mixing it with coconut rum.

Just saw it at Total Wine for $27.99

If you like it and you think the price is reasonable, that’s all that counts. 🍺

Just poured a finger neat and added a couple drops of water. It was underwhelming. Tasted very young in that I would hoped for more vanilla and caramel notes. But would that require more than minimal aging to pull those flavors from the barrels. It also had a harsh finish that faintly tasted like turpentine.

However I don’t think that was a fair tasting because I’d just eaten red beans and rice with a link of smoked sausage so my palette was somewhat trashed.

If you're at this point, I recommend adding anti-freeze. It's not like its going to hurt!

Maybe go to an AA meeting too!

A ways back my favorite adult beverage shpo had it for like $17 so for s&g I bought a bottle. Given the cost, it wasn’t all that bad. I wouldn’t pay over $25 but for a mixer or quick shot, it’ll do.

Elijah Craig Small Batch Is a blend of around 200-250 barrels of bourbon, aged 8-12 years.........not young at all.Of course it was better when it was a true 12 yo bourbon.IMHO its better than most bourbons in that same price range

I went back and tried it again absent the lingering red bean flavor in my mouth. It seemed a little better. But still. It really impressed. Heaven Hill does put out Larceny a about the same price. I like it much better.
