    For someone who is really looked to for your opinion on bottles, you nailed it right on the head! Tasting is subjective and we need more guys like you saying that. Thanks!

    We raised bees for honey when I was in middle school. I definitely have a soft spot for it. Lots of good memories, especially at harvest time.

    Now I’m glad I got a bottle for $71. Me personally I like the dark honey that is sold at Sam’s Club. Nice subtle sweetness I put it on toast instead of maple syrup.

    I like my honey raw and local.... Also, loved the C922 and was able to get A123 and C923 last year and they were the best pickups of the year for me. Still think the C922 was slightly better, tried them blind twice and it came out on top both times.

    U.S. your information as a guide not gospel. I’m into bold flavors hence why I’m a Knob creek single barrel fan and Larceny hits right there for me. I missed the A123 last year but got the last two and both are very good. I did get this bottle but haven’t opened it yet. Now I can’t wait to open this.. great job and thanks. Enjoy!!

    I thought I heard this was supposed to be very spicy, perhaps that's the ECBP A124? I really enjoyed both the Larceny BP B523 & C923, which I found had a chocolate covered hazelnut note. Love honey too; so looking forward to grabbing the A124.

    • @motohead077
      @motohead077 5 месяцев назад

      Just posted the same thing. You are right, this A124 is a spice bomb! Love it! If you like OGD 114 & WT stuff, A124 is for you.
      Got this bottle now & it confirms the other reviews. Not sure why this review & the comments focus on honey, caramel & no mention of spice, when this is very spice forward & good finish with little to no alcohol burn (unlike my JD Brl Prf).
      This A124 is good flavor spice. It's not alcohol burn/heat, that some people call spice.

    Why are each batches different? Mash bills or just seasonal influence?

    • @johng5710
      @johng5710 8 месяцев назад +1

      Mash bill is always the same...age is different, proof is different, yes seasonal influence is different, location in warehouse can be different, raw materials themselves (corn, wheat, malted barley, yeast, water) can be slightly different, quality of barrels can be different...I'm sure I'm missing a few.

      @@johng5710 thanks I forgot about those other variables. 😂

    • @motohead077
      @motohead077 5 месяцев назад +1

      The age statement is still 6 to 8yr & mash bill is the same.
      Each batch shows the massive difference in the end whiskey with barrel location & blending.
      Master blending of the barrels for these batches can create a huge variance of flavor profiles from the same whiskey.
      On HH website they state that all their whiskey is barreled at 125P & when done aging, the proof varies from each barrel from the high 80s on 1st floor barrels to 155P for top floor barrels.
      So it's possible to have a sub 90P barrel proof whiskey, which WT has done. Would like to see one from 100-110P.

      Have you tried putting honey or maple syrup in your whiskey? It takes a few hours to dissolve. Good for coffee whiskey. It already has the sweetener in it.

    Haven’t cracked it yet but a serious question. What would be the REAL difference in it and your A124?
    By “real” I mean when I drink it it’ll be on ice with water. If it’s 124 proof I’m adding a little more water - I’m too old to be worried about what anyone else thinks.
