Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is one of my favorite scheduled releases on the market. It’s not easy to get, but I can generally find one reasonably priced in my area. As long as you can find it at a price near retail, I think this is one of the best buys on the market. For a barrel proof, 12 year, well balanced, bourbon in the $60 dollar range per year, I don’t think you can go wrong with Elijah Craig Barrel Proof A123.
