      I’m still waiting to see what happens when ECBP C923 hits the shelves here in the Los Angeles area. I’ve managed to purchase the prior 5 years of “C’s” at around $70 without too much shopping around or calling in any favors. Let’s call it a test of the current market and of the impact of RUclipsr reviews.

      I have an CN-F, but prefer TY-K which is right outside the visitor center/office. I think the TY-K is better. My theory is since its near the visitor center which Jimmy visits often, it gets spirit from him, much like the woman who was healed when she touched Christ's robe. ;-)

    Sounds fantastic. I`m never likely to try `Single Rickhouse` but was fortunate to aquire a couple of bottles of private barrel selection single barrel, they were CNF, floor 4 & definitely some of the best bourbons I`ve had the pleasure of drinking. When you have such quality it really can cement you to the brand.

      It's discouraging when someone says to pay #300 for a bourbon, but then as an alternative lists a $55 bourbon. I don't think it's comparable in any way, but it just suggests that Single Rickhouse couldn't be that good.

    Great review! I've had the chance to sample both the SR CNF & 13yr B2. They're both amazing in their own way & it really boils down to preference. The 13 yr. is more robust & engaging. On the other hand, the SR is more focused on balance & finesse. Value wise, 13 yr. is the clear winner but rabid RR fans will not mind the steep price of the SR for the blissful drinking experience it gives.

    $300 is always high for liquid, most of that amount is to have the best. Once you take the value of owning in to effect, it makes sense.
