Elijah Craig Small Batch Vs. Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel

IMG_0819.jpeg

I am seeing a diverse range of opinions on the new Toasted Barrel bottle. What I want to know is if you like Elijah Craig (which I do!), is the Toasted Barrel worth the $15-$20 premium over Small Batch?

SB) $34, 94proof.
This has always been a great reasonably priced bourbon. 
-The nose starts with classic bourbon oak, caramel, vanilla, tobacco, and leather. 
-The palate starts with notes of allspice, cinnamon, and oak, and moves to some apple fruitiness, vanilla, and honey sweetness. 
-The medium finish has more spice and heat along with a lingering honey sweetness.

TB) $49, 94proof.
-The nose here is surprisingly different. Much more sour-oak, and lots of buttered-toast, along with vanilla, and leather.
-The palate is definitely more flavorful and complex than Small Batch. Initially I get cinnamon-sugar-buttered-toast, which moves into some apple, cherry, marshmallow, vanilla, caramel, and baking spices. 
-The finish is medium in length, with slightly-tart apple, some dark cherry, spicy oak, and tannic leather.

VERDICT) Overall I would say Toasted Barrel wins decisively! Making this back-to-back wins for Fancy Glencairn!
The bigger question is this: Is this worth the extra money? For me I would say definitely. My palate really prefers the extra complexity and oak that the Toasted Barrel finish brings. However, if you have an oak-sensitive palate you may disagree, and I would recommend trying before you buy.
