Touchdown or Fumble? Traveller Whiskey No. 40 & Elijah Craig Barrel Proof A124

Tonight I'm trying two new whiskeys and seeing if they are either winners or losers from their respective brands! Bottled at 90 proof, Traveller Whiskey Blend No. 40 is a collaboration between Buffalo Trace Distillery's Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley and Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician Chris Stapleton. Traveller is the result of countless hours of testing, tasting and dedication to craftsmanship that have produced powerful songs and world-class whiskeys. It's characterized by notes of oak, sweet maple, tart currant and leather. Complex aromas of vanilla, aged fruit and buttery shortbread are rounded off by caramel and a touch of oak. The flavor profile also showcases a touch of sweetness, followed by spice, toasted nut and oak flavors, closing with a robust finish. Traveller is a completely unique combination of whiskeys hand-selected from The Sazerac Company's award-winning distilleries. Heaven Hill kicks off its 2024 Elijah Craig Barrel Proof bourbon whiskey program with ECBP A124. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof A124 comes in at 119 Proof and is aged 10 years, 9 months.
