Yes, I think this may turn more on semantics than actual disagreement.

Suffice to say, based on my own subjective standards of quality (which incorporate taste, complexity, style preferences, etc.), I accept that EWSB is a high quality whiskey (even though I don't myself enjoy it as much as others), but I reject the idea that current Old Crow is a high quality whiskey (unless we're using the extremely narrow definition of industrial purity, etc.) Although some of the flavors I find in EWSB are not my favorites to experience in a bourbon, I recognize that it has complexity and depth, and also recognize that there is a consensus of its quality among other whiskey afficionados. Current Old Crow, on the other hand, is neither nor complex/deep nor appealing to my palate, and the consensus on it among other whiskey afficionados is rather negative.

If I have time, I'll post a bit more detailed reply later.
