Had a long day at work....I am unwinding with some EWSB '93
Phillip
Ezra B Single Barrel 15 year old. (Barrel 57, bottled 1/02.)
I need to dig out a past copy of The Bourbon Country Reader, in which I know Chuck Cowdery reviewed this bourbon; I just don't remember what he said about it. I hope I'm supposed to like it as much as I do. (I'd bet he also commented on the odd proof -- 99 -- and the fact that it is bottled in St. Louis.)
I know that someone recommended EB15 as an alternative to Elijah Craig 18 year old for those of us who think the EC18 is a bit too dry and woody. The Ezra B certainly fills that bill. I find it very caramel-like, with just a hint of dryness. Mainly, it coats the mouth in a very pleasant way, with none of the repeated, involuntary swallowing that sometimes accompanies the finish of a bourbon that I consider to be overaged.
The only bad thing I can say about it is that the design of the label makes it look off-center, making me fight the urge to try to straighten it.
Yours truly,

Ancient Ancient Age 10 Year old. I like it with tonic water or straight up.
ORWV 10yo 107 proof and a Pappy Van Winkle cigar! One hell of a combinationJulian doesn't do anything half-assed. I'll post a review of the cigar in a day or two.

Baker's 7yo 107, in a nosing glass from Binny's. Methinks I'll get another bottle while Joe C. still has it priced at $24.I'm liking this pour!
Pappy 20. Man, this stuff is absolutely spectacular! I'm really looking forward to the (re)introduction of the 23 in December!

Weller Centennial for me right now. Although I love it
, it doesn't seem as great as the bottle I bought in '94
. Has the bourbon changed or is my recent experience with VW 107 10yo
influencing me?
Not to mention that the 23 coming out this December is a 23 year version of the wheater. The past 23 year old expression was more rye based. This December's 23 should be spectacular!To all of Julian's products...
