    It’s the latest Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B524. Finally packing a 130 proof age statement and 11 years can this hold up to the great ECBP batches?

    Tried the B524 last night. You're spot on! A step up from A124 and a step down from C923. It's a buy for me as well because it's definitely worth the money.

    When it comes to ECBP iterations, of course you have to compare it to it's most recent releases but it would also be important to compare it to other similar priced/aged options (if there are any) from other distilleries.
    I appreciate Heaven Hill for offering availible great barrel proof whiskeys (Larceny bp, ECBP) at a reasonable price. When great iterations are released they compare with whiskeys 5 times that $75.00 price.

    Another great review, Bill. Looking forward to this. Will be hunting in the Pocono area this week. BTW - How do you have that much C923 left? I didn't realize it would be so hard to get and almost killed mine. I am saving my last pour for a special occasion.

    If you’re gonna pull varying ages like Old Fitz, then reduce the prices of younger batches accordingly.
    10-$59
    11-$65
    12plus- $75
