    Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Scoresheet & Review

    In my previous post, I mentioned how the word is now out on Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. This is a Heaven Hill brand we’re talking about, and if any company knows a thing or two about budget-friendly whiskey, it’s the company behind Evan Williams. Yet even they aren’t immune to…
