The EC12 was a great bourbon for my tastes. Some of the current EC NAS private store barrel picks are pretty good, but generally still not as good as the old EC12. Fortunately, I have a lot of EC12 stored away in my liquor closet. The Henry McKenna SB and EWSB can vary since they are always single barrels, but if you find a “honey barrel” as Harry likes to call them, they can go from being just pretty good to wonderful. yep, that's why i picked up this EC and the EWSB this weekend after loving that Henry McKenna... the HMK goes for around $30-33 here and can be spotty locating a bottle unless i wanna trek 30 min to Total Wine, whereas both the EC and EWSB are low $20's and i can get all day. knowing the similarities between the 3 i wanted to see if either the EC or EWSB could act as a "daily" to guard my stash of HMK, and at least based on this one bottle of EC, so far that's the winner. like i said earlier, and granted its a limited sample, still enjoyed that EWSB but for sure the EC more.

I'm a huge fan on HMK10. Luckily I can find it in every ABC store and during certain months it's only $27. I would agree the EC is more similar in profile then the EWSB. The EWSB is a lot sweeter, to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EWSB is a lot sweeter, to me. i think what was most noticeable to me was the EWSB just didn't have any kick on the palate. maybe thats because its the lowest ABV of the 3, maybe just the barrel i got, the style HH is going for, etc... maybe all 3? i dont know if id say the EC Small Batch was less sweet than the EWSB (need to do a SBS). but it just had more of a backbone and for me, better structure. i enjoyed the flavors, but the EWSB comes off as kinda flabby in comparison to the EC or HMK.

Dango Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 This ER10 PS is simply excellent. Been working it for about 2 months. Gets better with every visit. I'm glad I have another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I’ve been fighting a head cold for over week, so my palate has been way off. I was excited to have a pour of WT101, but it was drinking a little hot. A mini dram of EC12 turned into a nice pour since it hit the spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasterHorses Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 A friend invited me over for some smoked Oxtail, Minor Case Rye Sherry Cask Finished, OGD, and a sample of a soon to be released product from a unnamed NDP. Minor Case was my favorite tonite, with the OGD bringing up the rear. Will have to retry with a cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reference to Borkum Riff brought back some delicious memories to my olfactory, and eventually to my slower brain. It's been about 30-years since I smoked it for the last time. I recall the smooth, clean-and-slow-burning, lovely aromatic tobacco as one of my top couple faves way back then. Thanx for that, brock957! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvin0791 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I had my first taste of this last night. Pretty good. Seemed to drink well below the 116 proof (I liked that) but had some bitterness on the finish (didn't dig that so much). Look forward to exploring this more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 As of March 1 I have had nothing in my glass. I've chosen March to be a sober month. I'm looking to re-set my palate and lose some weight. The only exception will be a barrel pick I'm doing next week then it's back on the wagon. I will live vicariously through you all the next 4 weeks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
