ECBP Small Batch vs ECBP Single Barrel Selects: Which wins in a blind tasting?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (ECBP) has become one of the allocated bottles that everyone hunts for, but EC has started allowing their private selection barrels to be bottled at barrel proof. They are a little more money than the small batches, but are they better?

I really enjoy Heaven Hill and will always pick up both the ECBP and ECPB when they are available. One thing I have also started doing is blending them with the small batch to lower the proof. I've found I prefer bourbon around 115 proof so blending a barrel proof with the small batch lets me enjoy the bottles more.
That is a great idea!
Nice! I really enjoy b523, it’s sweet, vanilla, caramel, and crackerjack candied peanuts! I have a store pick 94 proof that’s super flavorful and drinks like 105 proof:) Cheers
ECBP is one of my all-time favorites of all time.
During the Dark Days of COVID my buddy Evan sent me a bottle of the 2012 pirate bottles 134 proof sooo dark. So good best nose on any bourbon 🥃. A year in half later I had a whiskey tasting party with 10 friends and we finally finished the bottle
I've wondered about this but never had an opportunity to try this comparison. Great show!
I have a 10yr SiB selection and it’s really good. It doesn’t beat B520 for me but it’s really good. I have way too many EC bottles at the moment and won’t be blind buying any EC’s until I work what I have down. Cheers
Grabbed my first bottle of B523 after staring at it for about 6 months. Really enjoyed the bottle.
Awesome video comparing these bottles btw!
This was a great video. Loved the background for the early EC info. I highly recommend doing the bottle your own experience at heaven hill.
Thank you!
The batched product offers consistency - I've only had one SiB that could compete (but still lost in my blind to C923), and many that were not "great"
Love the videos. Thanks for continually posting to pass the time.
As someone that doesn’t have the funds to buy every single release of ECBP and all the ECPB’s i come across (nor do I have the need for all of them), I’ve wondered this for a while. Love your content!
I haven’t had the opportunity to get any of the ECBP but I do have two ECPB (Ohio & West Virginia picks). I always wondered how the Private Barrels matched up to the Barrel Proofs. Thanks for this video.
I love me some EC BP SiBs!
Great episode; appreciate the history of the ECBP program.
Thanks for being here!
ECBP and ECPB are up there with my all time favorites. I do feel the private barrel releases of 8yrs are a bit too young for my liking. I’d like to see higher ages again
@User_DM_you_won nice try spam bot
Luv this blind. And do like ECBP. I like it better than the wheater Larceny
Love the shirt. It’s unfortunate in my area we don’t get the ECBP. We do get the Larceny BP which actually works out for me I like the Larceny BP. I’d say a barrel pick would beat a standard release of ECBP. Just from what I’ve seen on other picks they usually truly are better than just general releases. Great show.
The A, B and C is the same as Larceny. And the same months also. Enjoyed all of them at a higher proof point than the normal bottle. Will need to look for these.
And thanks for catching the spam comments posted on the last few videos
I love everything heaven hill does! I really enjoyed B523 and it blew me away when everyone kept talking bad about it. I thought it was very good. I have had better and I have had worse
This is a really great sample and it would be great to win it.
Have not tried Heaven Hill or ECBP or PB. Thanks for the opp!!
Of course!
ECBP is always a great value for what you're getting. Crazy that B523 won and that C923 came in last place. C923 was on everyone's best of lists for 2023. I have a few ECBP single barrels, but haven't cracked them open. Looks like I'll need to do a blind tasting of my own to see what comes out on top. Cheers!
When we did B523 vs C923 blind last time I picked C923. It just goes to show that you have palate variance every day, and when the whiskeys are that similar you might key in on a different note one day over another.
Great video Randy! I love the EcBP and small batch profiles. Fingers crossed on winning a sample pack one of these days!!!
Thank you, good luck!
Great video, really enjoyed your thoughts on the four!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So, If I understand you correctly, they are all good! I heartily agree. 🙂
Great video Randy
Thanks 👍
I don’t see many of the yearly releases of the ECBP’s. But I did like the small batch sample I bought. Still need to buy a single barrel from some of the local stores near me.
If you can find any of the barrel proof Elijah Craig’s they are worth it. Even from someone as cheap and frugal and stingy with his money as I am. My son calls me a cheap squirt. ECBP is worth the money 💰
@@DanDaWhiskeyMan82 worth a 100$? That’s the price I saw it in my area.
Thanks for the info. We are fans of Heaven Hill
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Great stuff. I'm hoping to get the A124 release.
Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How does one procure a bottle of the prideful goat ? Asking for a friend 😉
Here ya go: www.pridefulgoat.com/pages/store-locator
Peace and love to all, keep pouring!
Back at you!
The audio on the last few episodes sounds echoing and like in hole
Hollow chamber? Something changed with your audio setup?
No, I have been experimenting with adobe speech enhancement. I did one at 100%. It removes all background noise like recording in a sound booth. That felt hollow, so I backed it off to 65%, but it does this weird autotunes thing with noises. The last few have been at 35%, which may not be enough if you are hearing echo, but the hole issue is the "recording booth" effect.
Great comparisons of the same brand
Thank you!
Good video
Thank you!
Cheers 🥃
Cheers!
IMO the C923 is a beast compared to the B523. My private barrel is pretty good, but not to the level of c923.
It is funny, because when we did the blind of the two together I picked the c923, but your palate keys in on different elements every day based on a variety of factors. For something like this where the difference is very nuanced, it is more likely that your results will vary day to day.
Very true! Great content.
❤
Good video, not a fan of high proof
Fair enough!
WE LOVE YOU 22222222 !!!!!!!

You may have been first. The porn bots have been crazy today 🤦
1st lol@@BourbonRealTalk
A few months ago you said C923 was better than B519 and B523. Now you are saying C923 is your least favorite and B523 is your favorite? Goes to show how these bourbon influencers are just full of BS
Yes, whiskey reviews by anyone are bullshit. You have to taste it yourself, and know that your palate will pick up on different elements of a whiskey day to day based on mood, what you ate earlier, how long since you brushed your teeth, and a innumerably quantity of other factors. The best I can do is be honest. If I were dishonest, I would not have released the video. I knew I got a different result on the second blind, but I released it anyway. Try to learn from the experience instead of thinking you stumbled on some conspiracy. No one's palate is that consistent. Not yours, or anyone else who does reviews. Your comment is rude, shows a lack of experience, and a lack of understanding about my channel and what I bring to the table. Try not to assume negative intent so much. You will find connection with many people that you previously just fought with on the internet. Your life will be better for it.
