Larceny, C922. Rightly hailed as quite good at the time, now forgotten and available for more or less MSRP. From such "dregs" does wonder arise.

 

Silly taters.

 

 

This is a really good bourbon at it's price. I have a C924 and a A125

Giving a test drive with the latest version of EC BP that I have found. 

Tha A125, 118.2pf, 10yrs 7mo.

 

I am terrible at nosing so all I will say is that it smells like bourbon.

The palate, I am not much better at but, I got apple right of the bat with my first sip.

Now after a few more sips I picked up red fruits. A lil vanilla. Not sure if I am confusing the slight ethanol burn with cinnamon?? Also pick up mild caramel. 

I get an oily finish as well.

Overall, I like it!

Next up was HH HC 19yr Wheat Whiskey.

 

Man this is delicious. Thank goodness this does not taste anything like Berheim with the same mashbill. 

I don't mind buying a dram but buying a btl if I were to find it close to msrp would be a difficult decision to throw that amount of cash down for it, especially without tasting it first. Now that I have had a sample, I would be tempted to reach for the wallet.  Oh, it would hurt though.

I know which one I'd like to drink.   I saw on the ECBP site where B525 was released.  126 .2 proof, aged  11yr/6mo.

 

That's even higher proof than my 1792 Full proof at 125.

 

Now I have to hunt it down.    How much time does it usually take (ball park) until a released batch gets to the retail market? Also, how can we tell the yield of this batch? If its a much smaller yield, it may affect things considerably,
