Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C923 Bourbon Review! Bourbon of the Year Contender??? 

I am with you 100% on that

Agreed 😂

Underrated comment

Not only older, but they can get away with putting them out at barrel proof in a high enough quantity that the prices aren't crazy

That "static age statement" argument doesn't really make sense though. When bottles are tagged with an age statement, that means the youngest whiskey in there must meet that age, but they can absolutely throw any mix of older juice in as much as they want. The only real reason to kill the old 12 year age statement is because they wanted to mix in younger juice

@sirjcc They don't want to be tied to having to have 12 yr if an 11 or 10 yr has the special taste. in thr blend they're looking for. Our barrel pick was an 8 yr, 126 proof bourbon and it was clearly the best we had out of older and higher proof barrels. We had no idea on age or proof until after we were done. Dropping the static age statement gives them the flexibility to do with it what they want. Judge the product by tatse, not age. If they start turning out garbage, then I'll be one of the 1st to call them out.

Green Lady Lounge is 🔥! Cheers 🥃

Im not a big EC fan either. This may be the 1st in my collection. My brother always buys them amd ive just never liked it enough to get my own. Some of the BP store picks are good. I jus dont like the nuttiness in heaven hill products

I found a couple old Knob Creek dusties the last couple-few weeks. The limited release rye from 2018 (batch 1) and 2019 (batch 2) at $65 they are amazing. Especially batch 2. My bro and i found batch 2 about 3 weeks ago (we were together but he found it n bought it) and we were blown away to even find it, especially at the store we did cause its a very popular store. Then almost 2 weeks ago i found a store that had batch 1 and batch 2 for 70 so i grabbed batch 1. Then the other day found another store that has 3 bottles of batch 2. Im going back for 1 maybe 2 of those. They're both really good, but batch 2 is just absolutely phenomenal. Still waiting for batch 1 to open up a bit more, but i dont think its going to be as good as batch 2.

I was able to get 3 of these and 1 is already almost gone. Unfreakingbelievable bottle!!!

I agree. I buy and backup these faithfully

I buy backups if I can, I don’t always get lucky enough to see 2 bottles. Hopefully I can get this bottle. I’ll be in Kentucky in about a week and I have 2 visits to the distillery hopefully I can snag a bottle.

@@jmartinez4460 you might just get a crack at the first few cases off the line. Good luck!

a123 was the first I’ve ever tried. Wasn’t my favorite. I skipped B523. Maybe I’ll get the C

​@WombatAnnihilator It is probably a good idea if you like ECBP to get both the "B" and "C" versions. The profile of each of th3 three batches has been pretty consistent and then you can focus on that batch annually and possibly splurge when a great find for another batch. Or go broke between ECBP &ECPB.

Ya ive seen c922 and everything since from both Larceny and EC BP at many places, except Larceny a123. Can still find c922 and b523 at a few places, EC BP A123 was easy enough for awhile, but never once seen Larceny a123 here in Boston MA. So weird that one never got here but all the others have been plentiful at SRP, or maybe $5-10 more at some places

Sipping on some C920 now. For some reason I’ve always enjoyed the C’s the most.

A pro tip: spelled “palate” not “pallet”

@@debcopeland3276 Right you are; a pro tip for a rookie mistake. Thank you.

You dont have to worry about me mojo

@@LeatherDaddy97 I always will

Ya since c922 i have been seeing them pretty often. Except Larceny a123. Still never seen that one anywhere, but i can still find c922 and b532 at a few places. A123 never came around here. The EC BP a123 did, just not the Larceny. So weird how that happened... or didnt happen haha

B523 is really tasty. Not a problem.

@@0529mpb I meant the low age statement
