    C923 is my favorite batch of all time, dating back to C918. Other standouts were C919, B520 and C920. A123 was one of the better batches though since 2020, which was a great year for ECBP

    The C923 is solid, my favorite has been C919. I'm going to blind them to see which one comes out on top. I may put A123 in just to make it interesting. Personally, I don't think that C923 drinks its proof. It doesn't come across hot. What's your take on that? Thanks, Scott. Cheers 🥃

      I just did this last night. C923 edged it out by a small margin.

    The C923 reminds me a little of the 2020 batches- A-120 my favorite (slightly over C919) and it may be close- cheers

    On all honesty, I think my UA-cam enthusiasts have fallen victim to the age statement on the ECBP. I LOVED A123, liked the B623. The C923 so far has a strange licorice/ sharpie markie note that I don’t enjoy. Hopefully that flavor note will dissipate and I will love it more.😊

      What's the laser code on your bottle apparently there may be differences in the bottling somehow.

      I felt the A123 and C923 were very similar in 2023. The B523 Just felt not well put together and definitely for me was not on par with the A and C batches. But hey, at the end of the day, all that matters is what you like best. Cheers 🥃

    Great comparison. I like all of the 2023 releases, but prefer A123. The C923 is flavorful, but a little hot for me even over ice. 🥃

    I haven't seen a C batch yet. I have the A and passed on the B.

      Well, I sure hope you end up getting a C batch to at least compare to your A batch. Cheers buddy 🥃

    I think the hype around the age of C923 has caused a lot of smaller retailers here in Madison to increase the price to $100

    • @mybourbonjourney
      @mybourbonjourney  9 місяців тому +1

      It's still worth it, in my opinion! An almost 14 year bourbon for $100 and with that profile, it's incredible

      @@mybourbonjourney that’s true, it still is one of the best values in bourbon, but once prices go up, they probably won’t be coming down…I expect to pay $100+ for future ECBP releases here

    I haven't had any of them. I haven't even seen the C923 yet in K-town.

    It hurts my heart to know you thought so little of the EC B23, because that's the only one of the three I own. Oh well. Can't win 'em all.
