jeffrey r Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) I just love these older EWSB that were around 10 years old. To be frank, I have never bought one of the newer/younger versions, so I don't quite know how that would compare. But I can't get behind giving up 3 years or so on the aging (and I know this hits the sweet spot for me). Comes in handy when I want a great bourbon without the higher proof of so many bottles in my stable. Edited May 20, 2020 by jeffrey r 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I’m pretty sure it’ll be something from BT tonight. I tried small pours of Larceny and EC last night, and neither were very good. The first couple of pours from my current bottle of Larceny were okay, and I was hoping this would continue. Maybe not. It appears that a little air time may have hurt and not helped this bottle. Last night it had an off putting, almost sour, musty vegetal flavor. I didn’t fare any better with the EC. It came across slightly harsh and bitter, with a metallic flavor in the background. I probably won’t be buying either of these again. I’ve had a few bottles of each now, and they just don’t seem to work for me any more. Oh well, I guess you can’t win ’em all. Next! Biba!

Joe, based on the multiple number of stink eyes you’ve been reporting getting while going out in public, perhaps those sour, musty, bitter, and vegetal notes are not the booze???

Whiskeythink.com Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Lately I have a pour of something 110+ proof when I come home from my 12 hr shift treating covid patients at the hospital, & tonight its again the RRSB "Creampie" pic from Antioch. Last pour of this real nice pic from last year. They say the virus takes a couple days to work its way down into the lungs, so one must kill that shit in the throat before it gets there. I know one great way to do this. Tomorrow will have to be A120 or a KCSB 15 thats freshly cracked. This Turkey has an intense finish. Real big but not really hot, lotsa cinnamon & leather, & a sweet leather that just lingers! RIP! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may start drinking it to help, and then all hell is gonna break loose, again!! . Let us know on that A120! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho somewhat hot like any ECBP, this one is really rich. Tons of flavor to compete with heat. Stock up on this one while its around!

A richness in a BP that can overcome the sheer heat of the high ABV is definitely a bell ringer for me. Good to hear that this release does it for you. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Richdel Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Not an ER (this time), nor a WLW (as if I had one!), but a Weller product. Sitting on the deck anticipating grilling some Demonico's, listening to the kids across the way screaming on the trampoline. I would like to say it doesn't get any better then this, but I could do without the current noise pollution. Cheers on your 38th. In a couple of weeks, we will celebrate our 33rd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
