Elijah Craig 8 year Single Barrel Redstone Barrel Society
So excited to announce the arrival of our Elijah Craig Single barrel bourbon. This particular barrel was rested for 8 years in Rickhouse EE on the 6th floor. (one of our favorite warehouses so no surprise it outshined the other 9 and 10 year old barrels that we put against it) It rang in at a monster 133 proof out of the cask before being proofed down to 94 at bottling.
Of all the Elijah Craig barrels we had tasted on this trip this one was a clear cut winner. Boasting a heavy dose of nutty caramel on the nose, a mouthful of cherries on the palate and a slightly sweet dusting of baking spice and stone fruits on the long long finish, this is the perfect accompaniment to a crisp fall night or a decadent treat after dinner.
Bottles go on Sale for $34.99/750ml at 1pm At both Redstone Locations as well as a small amount at Framingham Liquors. Our other Redstone Barrel Society stores (Kelly Square Worcester, Nobscot wine & Spirits, and Conti Liquors will have very small amounts avail tomorrow morning)
This is also the 2nd Barrel in our Infinity Redstone series and has our Waxed Yellow stone on the back of each bottle. Collect the entire lineup in the Gauntlet and you will get awarded Bonus Tickets in our Annual Whiskey draft later this year for your crack at getting your hands on some of the most sought after whiskey on the planet.
