Today’s bourbon review is the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch B519 which is a huge step up from the last one I had (ECBP C918). Of all the current Heaven Hill releases, this is the one I look for the most, and the one I care about trying the most, batch over batch.It’s also something that is slowly becoming easier to find these days. I found this batch B519 just sitting on a liquor store shelf, along with about a dozen or so of its twins, for retail price. Just before the imploding of the world it felt like the Whiskey world was starting move back to a semblance of normalcy but now… who knows. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 8-12 months.
