The Rickhouse Rant, Vol. 5 – Elijah Craig Small Batch: Age is Just a Number (Unless You’re a Bourbon)

A spice-sweet balance, a proper Kentucky hug, and a price that’ll make you wonder why you’re paying $60 for lesser bottles. The myth of Elijah Craig might be fiction—but the greatness in this glass is real.
