Les Jones: Elijah Craig Bourbon

March 21, 2007

Food & Drink > Elijah Craig Bourbon

This is one of my new favorite bourbons. It's right in the narrow price range between Wild Turkey 101 and Maker's Mark and I like it better than both.

Based on the Wikipedia entry, it doesn't look like Elijah Craig bourbon is really related to the Baptist preacher who invented bourbon, but it's nice of them to honor the good Reverend with such a fine whiskey.

I was favorably impressed by the Elijah Craig, but I still have enough of the Woodford Reserve I got at closeout for $16 a fifth (benefit of living in the hood; they couldn't sell any whiskey but Crown Royal) that it will be some time before I buy any more.

This past weekend, I bought some Fitzgerald's 1849 on the recommendation of a friend. Got it at McScrooge's on sale for $14.99. Pretty good sipping, I must say.

And the price is right.

triticale: Yea, if I had a cabinet full of Woodford I wouldn't be rushing out to buy a bunch of other bourbon, either. Good stuff.

Unc: I'll give it a try. Gracias!
