C923 Is a beast of a bourbon! There’s no denying it. This should be a fun series
For me the A and C batches were very close, but a slight nod to C923. A fun video would be y’all doing a blind of ECBP blends: A/B, A/C and B/C. Cheers!
How funny. Here drinking EC C923 and now watching you doing the same. Great vid as usual.
Thank you both for the video 🥃
C batch for me, BUT and a few drops of water to B and it really opens up,
Delicious!
I have the a123, amazing. Will hunt for the other 2. Great review
Really like your idea of the 12 Days! Been watching Jason and Matt's Advent Calendars and glad you guys are joining the fun and helping to make the Season Bright!
I’m glad you are doing 12 days videos. I’ve been missing your 25 day Advent videos. I just happened to find a bottle of C923 this afternoon! Yea!
Still looking for C923. There have been a few show up locally but never at the same time as I've been in the stores. But I've got 11 ECBP's on my shelf so I'll survive.
Dailey content. Hooray!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking for this tonight.
My girlfriend is pleased with the GBB handshake reference. Thanks 😂
Always happy to help. haha!
I find A sharp on the palate and B flat on the palate. I mix them together and think it makes a more well rounded pour, but C923 wins easily
A sharp, B flat...I thought you were about to sing something!
The only one I was able to get was the 923 in Kentucky with you all. Cheers!
1:29 "Shut up when you're talkin' to me." Sara, you're hilarious! 😂
3:29 I don't have enough experience to qualify as a proof hound, but it wouldn't bother me if someone called me that. I find that I like proof. Among my favorite whiskies of all time are Old Grand-Dad 114, the Kelly Liquors store pick of Knob Creek (120 proof) that I recently finished, the Balcones True Blue corn whisky Total Wine store pick I had a while back (106.9 proof), and the Jack Daniel's SBBP I'm working on these days (128.2 proof). I would love to be able to seek out the higher proof stuff all the time. When they don't temper the proof down, they dilute the flavor in the process.
C was definitely my favorite of the year! Cheers 🥃!
Just grabbed a store pick of this. Can’t wait to try it.
Glad to see this tasting! Did the same with 2 others, and our rankings were completely different. C923 was a narrow winner over A123 for me, but B523 struck me as the friendliest for a regular day. And the least experienced bourbon drinker picked the B, so it's the one for non-proofhounds IMO.
C batch totally gets a hand shake!
A Paul Hollywood handshake for C923!
I'm not really buying whiskey right now but I want to get my hands on this. I just love ECBP.
Awesome! Been looking forward to an ECBP shootout and plan to do the same. I will have to do C922 vs A123 vs C923 as I didn’t get the B this year. Not shocked you proofhounds picked C923
I got the vintage Heaven Hill vibes on my first pour of the A123 last March, the C923 is just a monster. Also, my local has a Makers Private Selection store pick and they said that they looked for one similar to the sample of Butterscotch Effect I gave them! Thought that was cool!
I volunteer for "IBN Cribs" for IBN Patreons who find themselves in the Virginia Beach area
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎
I'm getting a c923 soon. I have an ECPBBP 10yrs old. I would be surprised if the c923 beats it because that private barrel is amazing.
Lots of places out here still have the B523 on the shelves. I was able to get a C923, but that was just a stroke of luck. They said it was going in the back until the 523 cleared out.
Throwback: I miss the legos... as well as ECBP, which I rarely find anymore.
What was the first 3 #s of the lazer code on the bottom rear of your C923 bottle? A22 or A23?
Would love an answer to this.
I wish I liked ECBP more, i've only had 2 bottles...don't remember which ones specifically but they just come across hot. I do enjoy higher proof stuff, but for these, all i get is hot...or maybe too much spice, not sure, but it just doesn't do it for me. I actually prefer the Heaven Hill BiB 7yr over the 2 ECBP's I've had.
SOME...Body once told me The World...
😂😂😂 You're welcome!
Chad. You did kick out the lowest proof and age. The B523. Sara was confused. She kicked out A123. That happens to be the one I have. I blinded that one against C922 and the latter won. Alas those are the only ones I have.
A store by me has the B523, I have not seen the C923 around me, but I honestly have not been looking really hard. Here is my question- for the price is the 523 really worth picking up? It’s at the top end of what I’m willing to pay for a bottle. Would you buy or save the money and continue to look for something more special at they price.
You don't wanna be accused of being a proof hound?? I thought we wore that on our sleeves....of our proof hound shirts!!
Wish I could find c923 that's my birthday but I'm late to the party
Update: I found it at a local museum, and it was well over MSRP but I had to do it!
Damn I wasn’t able to get any of this years releases
Hope you can come across the C Batch!
How does the C923 compare to top bourbons like GTS?
We’ll find out soon when we finish scoring our blind best of the year!
Why would you be concerned of being accused of something you are? I embrace my proof houndness. It is what I prefer, it doesn't mean I can't enjoy other proof levels
We just always try to keep it in check ;)
Do I spy a Pride of Anderson County?
Oh, I don’t know, maybeeeeee 😁. Let’s just say you’ll find out in 3 hours from now.
@@ItsBourbonNight Definitely looking forward to seeing how that shakes out in the blind best of the year!
Chad did kick out the lowest proof.....just saying!
If you drink a rye bourbon, you drink a rye whiskey. Millennials make me laugh by overusing words and BS. Also, if you are not cleansing your pallet in-between tastings, you are not getting a real taste of each sample and all of the whiskey boob tubers rarely do anything unique from one another. #tastingbasics
Anyone else notice all these YT bourbon channels literally all just copy eachother. One makes a review on a certain bottle and next thing you know they all make one reviewing the same bottle.
