I liked it far more today. 2 years ago I'd have found it much too oakey. Now...I think they got it right and separated it from the barrel just in time. I think the high-rye threw me off, that's still a taste that is growing on me. Very pleased with the bottle, I think I'll snag another one or two. Still processing it all, I just know that on a nice Sunday and given some time to sip & savor, it hit the spot. These different bottles do reflect that there's a lot that I like. A good many pours seem to be a "mood" thing for me. I can see this one falling into that category. In addition to the higher rye content they use a different yeast on this than the standard Beam yeast so that also contributes to how different it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesnothere Posted November 17, 2024 Share Posted November 17, 2024 We picked up a couple EHT single barrels today at Port Royal liquors in Spring Hill TN today. We opened one as soon as we got home. Almost no ethanol up front, it's a vanilla, carmel fruit bomb. It's very good. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double C's Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 opened this up after work last night. It's quite good and drinks less than it's 106pf. Plan to revisit it in a week or two and see if it opened up any and got even better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 Had a special occasion today so decided to open a special bottle. I haven't had this for a looong time. It was as good as I remembered. One of the best labels ever. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted November 24, 2024 Author Share Posted November 24, 2024 Picked this up while driving through KY today. Just got home, so what the heck. Wow. lots of dark chocolate covered cherry. Reminds me of what 1920 used to be when it first released. Excellent pour! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sherry is just the way I like it in a bourbon-- very subtle. One of Eddie's finest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesnothere Posted December 1, 2024 Share Posted December 1, 2024 We had some family over for a post Thanksgiving get together. Much bourbon was enjoyed, but this was the only fresh crack today. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo Posted December 9, 2024 Share Posted December 9, 2024 I was in the mood for a sweet dram tonight. I opened a Woodford double oaked that I have had for quite a while. It is doing the job nicely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
