bluesbassdad Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Welcome, Craig! Hopefully we will neither ask too many diumb questions nor be too hesitant to ask any questions at all. Perhaps someday you will comment on the creation of the unique flavor profile of Elijah Craig 12 Year Old. Some of us here love it; some are the opposite; and some of us are drawn back to it repeatedly without quite knowing why. Personally, I'm now on my third bottle (a 1.75 L. this time), and I'm still not sure what's going on. When we get to know you really well, perhaps I'll ask what it's like to be a Master Distiller. (I know it can't be as much fun as I think it is. ) Yours truly, Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 And I would like to compliment Craig on the Heaven Hill Bonded 100 Proof, which I bought in Bardstown during the festival recently.Comes in a fluted square-type bottle with an old-fashioned white label.It has a big dry yet rich taste, I can't quite place the flavour, "sawdust" maybe but that doesn't do it justice.Was this a shelf relic from 10 years ago or so, or is it still made?

Bob Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Hi Craig,It's good to have you aboard with the rest of us. I too am a fan of a number of your products, namely Elijah Craig 12 yo and the Evan Williams Single Barrels. Haven't yet had the opportunity to try the others, but all in good time. I'm sure we'll all to looking forward to learning more about bourbon from your experience!Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Hi Craig,Welcome aboard! Sure am glad to hear from you. All these people here at straightbourbon.com are just super nice. My favorite Heaven Hill bourbons are Elijah Craig 18yo, a bottled and bond 10 year old-the one with the cream colored label. Your dad signed both these bottles for me. As a matter of fact, I just looked and your name is on the 18yo. Again, welcome aboard!Cheers,Marvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Craig, I remember your first post from a few months ago. In my family, hand me downs were a big thing. (However, like most kids, I hated that!) Did Dad ever give these pants to ya? Parker's Wild Pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
