ECBP batches are usually hard to find around me. I like them typically

Please excuse the quality of sound in this video, It definitely sounded better as I was editing but is not the case after being posted. Next video will have the better sound quality you are all use to.

Invest in a mic 🎙️🥃

Love Barrel Proof Bottles!!!!! ECBP is Great, I just need more! Great Video as always Carlos!🥃🥃🥃

I passed on the B batch. I like the C. A was OK. That Chicken though looked tasty enough to beat all of them.

sound is rough LOW background music is louder

I have not seen them in my area since the first release so I am not looking forward to finishing it until I can get another

Great list, haven’t had the Handy but that Short Barrel pick is fantastic. 🥃 Cheers Carlos

nice list. Love the THH Rye but can only get it at bars as it is a lottery only bottle in my state. Sagamore 9 year is fantastic. I like the Old Overholt 11 year I just picked up. The JD BPSB Rye is always on the bar and backups on the shelf. I think it is one of the best tasting and best values on the market today at $65. Barrell Seagrass is just so unique and good, Found North if you can find them

very nice list. love it. that one from Sean & Matt was great. gonna pull that one out this weekend to have a sip. cheers

Old Ezra 7yr BP Rye is another amazing rye. Love all those older ryes

Great list, that short barrel from Sean & Matt is Awesome!!

Good list!

This must've been hard video for you to do.

My man with the promo! Mint forward ryes aren’t for me. Excellent choices - I’m a big fan of the Balboa and the Exodus in particular. See ya tomorrow!

Ohhhh Rye u didn't 😂

I’ve been Loving Rye’s Lately! Peerless Double Oaked Rye is probably my TOP BOTTLE!

I have not tried any 2XO but sounds like I need to get it a shot.

If everything is 100+$ , which used to be special bottle prices, then nothing is special. I don't buy much over 100 without trying it. Got burned to many times. I'm really just into finding lesser known brands now

My list is anything over 100 bucks.

Love the 2XO’s… can’t explain the complexities to it but each are different but the same in some way… sounds weird but but Dixon is on to something here. Tribute is probably my favorite. Crème Brûlée??? It almost makes me want to buy the Gem of Kentucky.

Sounds like a decent bottle. I enjoyed the kiawah.

Most of the cask strength whiskey has made the “ I’m not excited “ list.

I quit buying 2xo. The flavor doesn't match the price for me. At that price, I expect more. Cheers Carlos 🥃

Never liked Henry McKenna

Just admit you are a RYE GUY.

Good review brother!

As I drink through my bottle of Weller 12, I keep thinking of other whiskeys that I would prefer over it. It seriously needs to get back to the $40 to $50 price range.

I remember now. I'm not excited about the HH BIB 7 year anymore. Last one I had was super woody for some reason.

Hmm. What I'm finding that is tamping down my excitement for Bourbons is the rising costs on even the staples. RR Store picks are close to $90 now like ECBP store picks. OF SB BP Bourbon store picks I'm done with as well. What is also factoring in is availability. Before I could get excited because I didn't see certain bottles. Now that they're always there I'm not excited anymore.

So many bottles today are $150+ that it's easy to have your excitement level go way way down. Anything at those levels you really need a sample or have a track record with a brand. Too many good solid $50 to go that crazy over every high priced bottle.

Now I don't feel bad that none of those ever excited me.

Man, I completely understand the lack of excitement towards some Rare Character picks. Honestly, the RIO batches have been great, but not outstanding to me. The batch that has impressed me though, is K13, and I'm not just saying that because we picked a barrel of it. I chose it in a blind against EHT BP, actually. Rare Character is always batch dependent though, and my excitement for it depends on what I know about it.

Playing with the pricier bottles makes it easy to become not excited, because they very often seem not worth the cost. I find I am most excited when I find bottles in the $45 range that drink way above their price.

Nice vid as always Carlos. Agree with the hype over Blanton's but I still like the taste. Wish the regular Blanton's had the Proof & taste of the Gold though. I was fortunate and stocked up on Blanton's back when it was $50 to $55 a bottle. The current price of $75 plus tax is crazy for what you get imo. But, take that with a grain of salt since I have 2 cases bunkered and almost a case on the bar and backup shelves. I really like Rare Character but I always taste it before buying it as , like you said, so many of them. Blue Run was never a fan of their lousy to ok overpriced whiskey. I am over Peerless with their very good higher end stuff but crazy price strategy the use. Too many others beat them in a blind and cost less (or even the same just better). The cigar craze reminds me of the beer IPA craze where every beer was called an IPA even when it was obviously not an IPA. I do love JMCB but the price is just so high for a bottle me and my friends can finish in one evening. I do like the RY3 and Wheel Horse cigar blends as well as Dalmore but stopped buying others.

Great video Carlos! I would have to say the Hazmat craze for me. I’m already over people saying, “if it’s not hazmat…..” Also if you ever get a taste for Blue Run again go to Seelbachs. They have about 32,000 expressions I think all the way back to last Christmas. Cheers

That Starlight Cigar Batch is outstanding. I do get your point but that one is pretty good.

Not a fan of regular Blanton’s. Last 2 bottles were skunky tasting. I do like Blanton’s Gold and SFTB. Agree with you on Four Gate. I have a bunch of the Kelvin Collaborations and Private Selects, a Kelvin Sixty and Triple Oak. Do not think I will be buying another at those prices. 🥃

Im in Tampa also, where do you find the Blantons close to msrp??

Hype over for all these bottles and with all the fear of missing out all gone. Lol

You ever see a stoll n Wolfe at a total wine
