"Given that Elijah Craig 12 Year 3 Month Old Barrel Proof (Batch A925) won Whisky Advocate 's Whisky of the Year in 2025, I was really curious to check out the follow-up release. Made with a mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn and 14% malted barley, this one is spicy but balanced with hints of caramel, cloves, mint, baking spices, a tiny bit of citrus and butterscotch. It's an early candidate for more awards this year, that's for sure."
"This new limited-edition bourbon release honors the Harlem Hellfighters, the first African American infantry unit to fight in WWI and the longest-serving unit in U.S. military history. Launched in time for Black History Month, Harlem Hellfighters Bourbon is a blended bourbon finished in French oak wine barrels for 191 days, the exact amount of time the regiment spent on the front lines in France. The barrels themselves originate from the same region where the Hellfighters fought, and a portion of the proceeds benefit the Whiskey Valor Foundation, supporting veterans and their families through community programs and initiatives. Worthy stuff, and the whiskey itself is complex and barrel-forward, offering notes of baking spices, vanilla, dried cherries and caramel with a dry finish."

Old Hillside’s Harlem Hellfighters Bourbon is a limited blended bourbon finished in French oak wine barrels for 191 days to honor the regiment’s time on the front lines, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Whiskey Valor Foundation and tasting notes of baking spices, vanilla, dried cherries and caramel.
