It was very sweet that Heaven Hill Distilleries shared their new ECBP B524 with us! It's 11 year and 3 months old and is proofed at 130.6°
Welcome back to "Short and Sweet", where the reviews are (usually) short, and it's very sweet of those who share their whiskey with us.

Make no mistake. This is an absolutely fantastic pour. It can take a ton of water and it still has plenty of hug. It is certainly hot at first but it opens up with time

@shawnmahoney8870 6 часов назад

Picked up a bottle at the Indianapolis Costco for 64.89. I found it a little hot, but very flavorful. It made my recent Jack Daniels Single Barrel/Barrel Poof seen incredibly mild in spite of its’ 133.0 proof……who knew…….

Thank you both for another good review 🥃

I prefer random age statements. I like variety. Age doesn’t always mean quality, especially with bourbon.

@ItsBourbonNight Месяц назад

Well said.

@Despite37 Месяц назад

It needs to be cheaper then if they're going to release a younger product that used to guarantee 12 years.

@TravisG88 Месяц назад

@@Despite37nope, that’s where you’re wrong. They don’t have to do anything.

@Despite37 Месяц назад

@@TravisG88 I’m not wrong here buddy. Distilleries removing age statements is a sign they have less older aged barrels and if that’s the case we shouldn’t be having to pay a premium for younger juice 🤡

@AaronJohnsonlms Месяц назад

It always was random A123 and prior just at least 12

@nickp5511 Месяц назад

Nice review! As always I’ll be getting this one soon hopefully!

Great review, I'm a BIG fan of ECBP!! Heaven Hill is on track

@BondingOverBourbon Месяц назад

Plum & raisin? Sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for the review, guys. Can't wait to try it for ourselves!

@jasono.1629 Месяц назад

Great review. I love me a spicy / baking seasonings type of ECBP so this sounds good.

@tomboustead7588 Месяц назад

Even though I want the 12 year age statement back, I still like the decade plus age statement

@FakingANerve Месяц назад

Yeah, it's still a Heaven Hill barrel proof over a decade old for $70. The pearl clutching over the change is a bit ridiculous. Still an amazing deal at MSRP, IMO. Some are better than others, but I've not had one that I wasn't happy that I bought. Cheers.

@vinole6532 Месяц назад

And don't forget that the age statement is for the youngest barrel in the blend. HH has the freedom to pull some younger barrels that make the cut and still use plenty of 12 and 13+ YO barrels in the batch (which I believe average around 200 barrels).

@johng5710 Месяц назад

I'm just glad to see an age statement on any bottle...I love transparency

@pinetreetemple4611 18 дней назад

Corporate bootlicker bitches in here. Its now 80$ in NC. I would rather it be as crazy as it was a few years back and more rare than available and more expensive to buy some twit executives that know nothing about whiskey more boats and mansions

@Jared40 Месяц назад

A 124 came out and had a spicy note too haven't seen this in stores here in Colorado. Still have bout half bottle of C923

@whiskeytalkwithbill1248 Месяц назад

Love ur reviews!! Cannot wait to get my hands on this bottle!! Great review! I have a infinity bottle that is only ECBP’s that will be full in maybe B525? Should be amazing. Keep on crushing it!!

Thank you!!

@ronadkins2780 Месяц назад

Thanks for the review! I hope to find one here in NorCal.

@kleinster99 25 дней назад

Very good barrel. Cracked it last night and it’s delicious. One of my favorite EC so far. Just got back from picking up a second bottle and checking in on reviews. Went into it without any review influence and it’s a banger. Better than C923

@joegorman1976 Месяц назад

I usually try to pick up most batches but I did skip on the A124 this year. I'll be sure to grab this one though... I have 20 bottles total (all between A119 & C923... plus a 140+ proof store pick).

@bmc2567 6 дней назад

Interesting as this one has gotten mixed reviews. More than not say the finish falls off and dries out. A bit astringent on the finish. Cinnamon seems to be a common theme as well as the spiciness and heat. Guess that’s why everyone’s pallet is different! 😊. Thanks for another good review!

@jeremyevans4758 Месяц назад

This batch absolutely destroys the a124 for me. A124 was a decent bourbon but quite watered down and 1 dimensional for ECBP. This batch is a kick to the senses and I am here for it. Dark, rich, warm, and lingers with a lot of complexity. If you're a proof chaser, it's worth the price of entry.

@pouringwhiskey9203 Месяц назад

I can’t wait to get this bottle my friends, hopefully won’t take too long

@Rustomatic19 Месяц назад

I just bought this 30min ago can't wait to try!

Excited to start seeing this on shelves soon (hopefully)

That's awesome!

Chad, sorry to hear you had Travellers Crud and hope you have fully recovered. It’s so surprising that Buffalo Trace could put out something that can cause some people to become physically ill. 😮

@brettheiner7125 5 дней назад

B524 slaps! It’s not C923 good, but just a killer bottle for $75.

@christopherryan7654 Месяц назад

It seems like stores are getting the store picks of ECBP and then are unwilling to carry the regular releases. Same thing happened with the Makers Mark wood finishing series. At least in my area that's what happens.

@CharleyCarey Месяц назад

I wish I could find these. For some reason, its easier for me to find Private Barrel store picks, although in my area those are 8 year picks. Great picks though. Liquid Snickers bars.

@wrathchylde9539 Месяц назад

I was not a big fan of the "A" batch this year...see if I can get my hands on the "B".

I don't get these high proof pours..like how are you supposed to down 2 or 3 at lunch and go back to work?

@ItsBourbonNight Месяц назад

Umm, maybe just down 1 and wait until after work to down the rest haha!

@kylewipert1976 Месяц назад

So I think it’s less about the age statement and more about the distillery telling their fans that their opinion no longer matters. It makes Heaven Hill look like they are intentionally taking something away instead of it looking like they want to make expert blends when the bourbon has matured to their liking.

@ItsBourbonNight Месяц назад

That’s an interesting view point and we respect it. It’s also an interesting topic that we love talking about and getting more feedback on. So, here’s our take. We don’t feel like the fans ever gave the opinion that ECBP should be at least 12 years before. HH just started their barrel proof expression at 12 years age stated and people got used to it. Bourbon is more popular than even and distilleries are still struggling to keep up with demand, especially on older age statement expressions. I think what they are trying to avoid is removing an age statement all together like they did years ago on the 94 proof version. Fans did kick up a fuss over that, but again, we feel like it was because they got used to seeing that 12 year on there, not that they “knew” 12 years was the sweet spot for it. If they had to wait another 9 months for those barrels to age up to 12 years, there could have been a lot less bottles of the B batch released, and who’s to say the 9 months extra age would have made it a superior product. The 11 years and change of this batch is the youngest in the blend. It could be a majority of 12 year or older in there, we just don’t know.

@BourbonSlrChief Месяц назад

When is this gonna be around?

@ItsBourbonNight Месяц назад

The B batches are supposed to be released in May.

@codyburgess7034 Месяц назад

What are the codes on the bottle?

@jmartinez4460 Месяц назад

Why release 3 per year at lower age? Cut it back to 2 or 1 and put out a better product. I’m out on these for awhile.

@makers721 25 дней назад

9 months won’t matter

@IvIidnight Месяц назад

@jeffscalfano3100 Месяц назад

Downgrading your quality standards is real shitty. That being said I am boycotting any release that's less than 12 years

@ItsBourbonNight Месяц назад

But why? If you never taste anything under 12 years of age, how will you know how it differs from the 12 and over? What if you actually like it better, or at least, as much as the 12 year and over?

@jeffscalfano3100 Месяц назад

I was speaking specifically of a ECBP 12yr boycott. As for trying other things that are less than 12yrs old... thats like everything else on the market including other offerings from Heaven Hill. Obviosly we all have enough of those options. And, what if its better? It wont be.

@MatthewJoyceAUS Месяц назад

Mocks people concerned about younger age statement then proceeds to taste and describe every single tasting note that would normally be attributed to younger whiskey.

@ItsBourbonNight Месяц назад

Sometimes it’s the case, other times it’s not. And that crazy spicy almost pepper note was way out of left field, can’t pin that one to “younger” whiskey (11 years isn’t young in our book or pretty much anyone else’s I would dare to say). What we were commenting about are those who make up their mind about a whiskey based solely on the specs before even trying it.
