Since it's under 12 years I'm sure I'll be able to pick this up. I always look forward to these. The C924 will probably be 13 yrs 8 months and I'll never see one. :) Nice review, looking forward to it. Cheers Scott!
I hope you're righ and wring, lol! If it was that, like you said, everyone will go crazy over it JUST because if the age. I'm convinced people like age more than actual flavor, lol
I cracked a bottle last night without review influence. It’s delicious. Great finish, super barrel. So much so that I went and got another bottle. Spot on review.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! At the end of the day, that's all that matters! Cheers, and thanks for watching 🥃
Just bought this an hour ago. Look forward to cracking it open this evening. Only my 2nd ECBP I have had. Thanks for the review
@mybourbonjourney I think it was fabulous. The heavy sweet orange zest I was getting mixed with the oak was outstanding. Great long finish that kept changing as it went. A definite buy all day long. Thanks for your reviews and insights.
This year is flying by. We're at the B batch already.
Thanks for the spot on review Scott. I went to pick up a 7 year Cedar Ridge Rye pick today and they had just gotten in this EC and the Larceny BP's. Of course I had to have one of each. I am enjoying the EC as we speak. Delicious! Cheers!
Cheers Mike, glad you picked it up and are enjoying it/them. Appreciate you watching and sharing 🥃
Haven't has the chance to try yet. Hope I can find a bottle. Appreciate the review, Scott. Cheers, friend.
Cheers Roger, I appreciate you watching 🥃 I hope you're able to find one, IMO it's a nice bottle so far.
I hope this one makes it to Virginia. Never saw the A batch but did pick up the VA BP Store pick.
Hope to find it but seems like lots of stores that have their private barrel store picks don't carry the regular releases.
Finally got this in my area and I love it. It is more of a sensation than a flavor
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Cheers 🥃
So after a couple of
Months was there any improvement in taste? I just got one at retail but it seems from whiskey tube this was one that I should have passed on. This was one of the few positive reviews on it.
Not much, to be honest! Still at retail, it's a great bourbon to have. Cheers buddy 🥃
Nice review. I buy all releases because all EC BP’s are good; some are just better than others. This one sounds good. 🥃
I couldn't agree with you more! It's what I tell everyone as well. For what you get at that aprox $75 it's still hard to beat. We've become very age statement dependent with the ECBP rather than focusing on the flavor and what you're really getting for the money. But hey, to each there own! Cheers buddy 🥃
Great review! Can’t wait for this to land in Chicago area. Cheers 🥃🥃
You'll both love it! Can't wait to hear what each of you think of this one. Cheers, guys and thanks for watching 🥃
Just bought a bottle can’t wait to try
Hey, let myself and others know what you think of batch b524. Cheers, and thanks for watching 🥃
I liked the A124, as well. Sadly, I couldn’t procure the C923. Cheers, Scott 🥃🦉
Cheers buddy, either way, these are all great bourbons. We just get a little picky over them, lol. Thanks for stopping by! 🥃
Cool that you’re getting those notes from a fresh crack! I’ll need to pick one up!!😊
I was surprised myself! Typically, it's not something I get off of a fresh crack like this. It's what made me really think this one will open up nicely and be a really good bottle. Cheers, and thanks for watching 🥃
Hasn't come out in my area yet...I think this is the first review of B524 I've seen
I hope you're able to grab one. It's a nice bottle, and IMO, getting back on track! Cheers 🥃
Haven't seen this yet here in Calif. but will definitely pick it up if I can. I did get A124 and really like it a lot. It's somewhat off profile for ECBP but a delicious bourbon in its own right, IMO.
Cheers and thanks for watching! I hope you're able to find one! Let me know what you think, once you get into it!
I haven't tried any of them yet. I can get the A124 but heard it wasn't great. I'll be looking for this one.
I still think for $75 the A124 is still a buy and why I day that is it allows you to see how each batch progress's and what it is you truly like or appreciate about the releases. Thanks for watching and sharing, Cheers 🥃
Just bought this 30min ago. Can't wait to try!
Let everyone know your thoughts on your fresh crack and maybe again in 30 days after the bottle opens up a bit more. Cheers, and thanks for watching 🥃
Very underwhelmed with A124 after coming off a phenomenal C923 batch. Looking forward to trying B524 based on the early positive reviews!
Surprising enough the local Indianapolis Costco has this and I didn't see the typical parade lining up to buy..............I purchased a couple for 64.99.
100% worth that all day long. It's still a great bourbon, we're all a bit critical of the ECBP. That price all day long is a buy!
Great review! B524 sounds similar to C922, very solid. Cheers to you!
Very similar! Cheers Timmy 🥃 appreciate you watching and commenting 🥃
I’ve got 5 different ECBP on the shelf I skipped. A124. Is this a must have or just ok???
In my opinion it's a buy! Are you talking about B524? I'm not sure if you watched this video or not. If not, I'd recommend and you'll see what my thoughts are overall on B524. Cheers and thanks for watching 🥃
@@mybourbonjourney yeah I did watch. I just thought that if it’s just back to par with other years. I have 5 on the shelf. If this one isn’t special. I’d wait for the C
You make want to run out & buy a bottle Elijah Craig is my all time favorite 👍🏻 from small batch to toasted & barrel proof deliciousness 😉
The only way to truly know if these lower age statements are making a difference is to do a blind between a few new lower age statement batches B523-B524 (C923 at 13yrs doesn’t count obviously) and a few of the 12 year A121-A123 batches.
It's always a nice way to get to the bottom of it. This feels like a nice bottle, and I hope it continues to open up. Cheers buddy 🥃
Excellent review!
Thanks, Keags. I appreciate that, buddy! I appreciate you watching, Cheers 🥃
ECBP is my go to bourbon. Love it!
It's a great goto, that's for darn sure! Cheers Dave, appreciate you watching 🥃
good video
Everyone!! Please Subscribe this guy is always Spot On, reachable, and very knowledgeable!!
Thanks Maety, I appreciate that buddy! Same for you, I hope everyone subs to your channel as well. Cheers buddy 🥃
I haven't even seen the A batch out here yet
Well, I'd wait to buy the B524 anyway! Thanks for watching, Cheers 🥃
I wasn't impressed with A124. B524 is fantastic.
I wasn't overly impressed with it either. It lacked in richness, ballance, and overall complexity. It felt a little too oak forward. Cheers and thanks for watching 🥃
Never understood why people get so excited about a few proof points higher and they complain about EC18 being watered down. Theres a reason they proof it down. If you wanna obsess about stats this is a younger ECBP. Point is, palate/profile is everything and this sounds like a tasty batch though. Thanks for the review.
Im super not cool with the degradation of their quality standards in order to grab more cash. As a result, i am boycotting any of these releases that have below a 12-year age statement.
@brettheiner7125 Hey Brett, I'm glad you're enjoying! Cheers, buddy, and thanks for watching 🥃
