You guys are getting the mash bill mixed up on the Larceny. It's 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. If it were 68% wheat, they wouldn't be able to call it bourbon.
Jeopardy definitely Jeopardy
Just watched it over again and that was my question ⁉️
Glad I wasn’t the only one scratching my head on that one 😂
Maybe they imbibed more than we know prior to starting the camera.
Great review, although I think a little brand bias crept into this one. Having said that, would love to see a blind at the end of the year with all 6 offerings.
Best batch of ECBP since C920. Great stuff. Very fruity for me.
So interesting, I get a nutty note (peanut shell, grain dust) from heaven Hill more than beam, the only beam I get nutty from is their nine dollar repeal batch Jim beam.
I hope I can find the Larceny in Kansas. 🤗
I can’t express the genuine connection I feel watching you guys and learning about different bourbons. I’m happy to gain knowledge every episode, but I truly feel like I could sit down and sip with you guys. Thanks for putting yourselves out there and for the genuine content. Can’t wait for the future 🥃
I was laughing at Trenton barely holding it together when Kurt was about to say “black pepper” and almost said a different word. Classic.
I just think we all need to commend Trenton for not completely losing it when his dad was describing the “black pepper” note he was picking up
I almost spit my coffee out my nose on that one.
We watched that part twice, Trent was holding his laugh… 😂
I'm crying ROFL
Post covid, I can't tell the difference between bourbons aside from which one is sweet than the other. I can't smell any of these notes.
Triannually is the word you're looking for.
Got both of these last week. 3 bottles of the Larceny and one Elijah. I think the sweetness of the Larceny makes it the winner for me.
Triannual
Kurt the Larceny is not 68% wheat. If so it would be a wheat whiskey instead of a wheated bourbon. Its 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malt. Verified from the Heaven Hill distillery website.
Larceny C922 was definitely better than Elijah Craig’s in my opinion. But for me, the Elijah Craig A123 I just cracked is great. I’ll have to pick up the same Larceny equivalent to give them a side by side.
Triannual might be word you are looking for. I would like to find a Larceny barrel proof to try. Thanks for all the good work you two do.
You guy are great love watching you all from Charleston WV.
Saw that laugh Trenton at the black pec… pepper note 😂
I don't think the Larceny mash bill as stated is correct. Maybe the corn and wheat are reversed.
Releasing every 3 months is quarterly (3 is one fourth of 12); release every 4 months is triannually I believe
Nice job keeping an almost straight face on the first mention of the black pepper note. Had me laughing!
I think he cracked the smile because he almost said black pecker instead of black pepper but caught and corrected himself haha
Tri-annual is the term I believe u were looking for, Trenton. Or one way of saying it.
If someone brings me a bottle of Larceny they better have a Coke to mix it with.
Neat…Nope
Good job Trent holding it together after that black pepper fumble
I love that I finally was able to obtain an allocated bottle you guys have on your show! I picked up the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof last week, right here in my town, and at MSRP! I havent opened it yet, but i'll get around to it im sure. I'm still working on my WJ Decadence.
That decadence is one awesome sipper in. my opinion .LOVE IT...Enjoy
@@jeffdacook4294 I agree! I intend to take my time and enjoy it..hoping to make it last lol
It is cool when you can land something allocated.
@@brite_luddite I think so too. Bourbon has become somewhat of a hobby for me!
20% corn? Larceny isn't bourbon?
True. Did he misspeak?
he must have had the corn/wheat reversed
He did get the corn and wheat reversed
Mash bill consists of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley
Online it states
68%- corn
20%- wheat
12%- malted barley
11:35 TRENT ALMOST LOST IT 🤣🤣🤣 Gah he really pulled it back and had some great self control there. Gotta give him credit for that one. Thanks for keeping it PG for us guys! All jokes aside, I absolutely love watching your show guys. The fact that you guys do these shows with no cuts is amazing. You all have great synergy with eachother. Best of luck with the channel
EC A123 seems so different to me than C922. Almost like it’s a different distillery. The C922 is so close to the single barrel EC BP I have as far as flavors. Heavy caramel and vanilla. The A123 is extremely oak and cherry forward. I kind of appreciate how different it is though.
Looking forward to both versions of B523 this month!
From your comments at 8:45 about ECBP A123 being a lower proof release; It was actually the highest proof since C920 or highest of last 7 releases & higher than the next, B523.
I paid $120 for my ECBP C922 and it's half gone! What a great bottle. I'd pay that again. Really enjoy your channel guys!
whats the difference between the numbers? i found both at a local store? C922 and A123 thank you
@@MetroCollectablesandvlogsA123 = first release of the year (A), in January (1), in the year 2023. So a C922 = last release of 2022 in September
I honestly used to be in favor with ECBP all the time but the last two batches from Larceny have outdone EC IMO. But love to see what everyone thinks. #congratsonthesilverbutton
I just finished my bottle of EC Barrel Proof 922 last night. It was delicious.
That batch is by far my fav bottle from 2022. I’m definitely making it last as long as I can lol
I would like you to continue this format to compare these release throughout the year. Also, it would be interesting at the end of the year to do a final review and blind tasting of all 6 to rank them. I love both of them and try to grab each release when i can.
Kudos on your research of the mash bills. Youre forgiven for the goof on the first one.
Keep up the good work fellas.
I was lucky enough to get both of these. They are both really impressive. I like the nose on the EC better, but the palate of the Larceny. I absolutely get the drying effect with the EC. The EC is much hotter for me. A lot more pepper. The Larceny is just sweet and rich. I was surprised to like the Larceny better, since in their regular small batch releases, I love Elijah Craig but don't care for Larceny at all.
I agree with your assessment of value! The Elijah Craig is packed with flavor but not enough to command $100+. Great comparison!
12 yr barrel proof at $100 in today's market is what I'd call a good value
That's one bottle I haven't seen hiked up price wise. I've always seen it for 60 to 80. Which I really is very reasonable.
The word is triannually. ;)
This is absolutely one of my favorite comparisons! I tend to lean toward the ECBP but both always great!
Love watching you guys! Excellent comparison!
Great review guys. To clear it up though Kurt mixed up the corn and wheat on the Larceny mash bill. Its 68% corn 20% wheat. If it was 68% wheat it would be a wheat whiskey and not a bourbon. Kurt might need to upgrade those cheaters! lol Im right there with you!
this immediately seemed off when I heard it. You are correct murdershark.
@@andrewjohn4222 68% sounded way off
Thanks for the correction! 🤦
Awesome comparison video boys! Looking forward to seeing a battle of the EC A/B/C bottles later this year….great stuff as always! Cheers!
Idk if I have different EC A123 its age stated on side it says 12 years. Are there different A123s
No they all say that
Tertiary means 3rd but I think you're meaning to say that tri annually. Meaning 3 times per year.
Another excellent video. Maybe do a video with an A/B/C comparison of various ECBP bottles.
I will also agree with another comment that you should blend these and give us the notes from that sample.
When I drink Elijah Craig, I find that after the bottle breathes for a day or 2 EC is actually better. That is my experience with EC. What do you all think?
If anyone is wondering, the verification badge is the "check mark" next to their name and channel picture in the circle. If you're on computer, you can hover your mouse over the check mark and it will say "verified"
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary. Once, Twice, Thrice...not sure what a quadruple incident would be
@trenton have you tried Joseph Magnus cigar blend yet or fox & Oden ?
triannual is 3x/yr
A local store dropped a couple cases of A123. I actually quickly detoured on my commute home to grab one. I shook my head and walked away when they were asking $90. The worker tried to tell me SRP is $90. I told him he was lied to by management. I get so sick of this crap. I wanted one but I won't be taken advantage of.
Definitely lied to. Just picked one up for $70
Lovin Trentons reaction at 11:39 😄
I have the A123 bottle but haven't cracked it yet. It did so well in Fred's top 100...excited to give it a taste!
A comment on the accounts that impersonate content creators…it’s happening everywhere. I can’t comment on most RUclips pages without getting a response within hours from one of them. Simply ignore them. However, RUclips is aware of the problem…several RUclipsrs have contacted higher ups about this months ago…and either RUclips can’t do anything about it…or simply don’t care. Either way…just ignore them. Some are annoying while others could be harmful fishing devices. Don’t respond to them…stay safe.
It's also happening on social media as well.
The Elijah Craig I'll take over the Larceny for sure. The Larceny has some funk that just isn't good
I prefer larceny between these two. I just have never been a huge Elijah Craig fan overall. Not that I dislike them, but I prefer many other bourbons over Elijah Craig.
The word Trent was looking for is THRICE.
Did you say Larceny is 68% wheat? That's not bourbon...that's wheat whiskey!!
Triannual
Are you able to pin a comment to the top of the comment section of your videos that states you’re not giving away free bottles of pappy 23 or a free car or a live dinosaur egg or whatever the bots are giving away? That may help the comment readers if there is a pinned comment at the top stating you don’t do giveaways in the comment section if your videos.
Would love to see a comparison of Wheated bourbons.
68 percent wheat would be a wheat whisky and not a wheat bourbon. All bourbons can't have less than 51 percent corn in the mash bill. I think you found the mash bill for Bernheim wheat whiskey
I've yet to try any Barrel Proof High ABV Bourbons aged over 8-12 yrs but will start seeking them out as i like my Booze to be Smooth from sitting in the oak
Props to Trenton! I was very surprised at how well he kept it together when Kurt messed up saying black pepper 🤣. Black pecker note 🤣
Just cracked a bottle of Russell's 6 year rye. Good stuff.
You guys should do a rye video.
Cheers
3x a year = triannual
The tannic notes you mentioned add a bit of harshness to the ECBP A123. I had it side by side with a barrel proof store pick with an 8 year age statement, and the extra oakiness added a harshness to me as compared with the store pick. I'm wondering if it will become a bit more tame once the bottle has been opened a month or so.
triannual
I have the Larceny C922. It’s good, but even with all the praise it got last year, I’d still go with ECBP 9/10 times. I don’t think it has the depth of flavor you get with 12 years.
I’m usually finding these with a little hunting when they’re released in WI, but ECBP is creeping up in price to @ $90 with tax.
great channel ... just starting on my appreciation of bourbon
and thanks for bringing up the spam messages ... i didn't experience it on you channel but on a couple others
EC any day over L
Rye makes this bottle superb
I have Oceanside Arizona property I will gladly trade for a bottle of pappy :)😂
Haven't been able to find either of these releases but buddy found me an Elijah Craig barrel proof store pick I will report back how the store did after I get it
Triannual
Can you two please re-visit these both in a few weeks....let us know what you think. Cheers
Great timing for this comparison. I picked up the Elijah Craig BP A123 3-4 weeks ago, and the Larceny BP A123 just dropped in Illinois last week. So I have both now, and am looking forward to this!
Larceny has been crushing Elijah Craig for like the last 3 releases 👏🥃
Love these two bourbons. It would have been interesting to end the show by mixing the two together!
Not a fan of any Elijah Craig stuff. Larceny is pretty good stuff !
I like both Elijah Craig and Larceny standard proofs, I have not gotten the barrel proof to try.
I got the A123 and still hunting the Elijah. Wish me luck.
Not to sharpshoot your methods, but maybe knowing what it is without going into it blind could possibly sway your opinions?
Have you tried russels reserve private barrel selection? If not you should do a russels comparison of 4-5 different ones and tells us your opinions
Should’ve mixed in the new Berheim barrel proof from HH as well
I really hate when one bourbon has more black peck/pepper than the other in a side by side taste test. That was fantastic. Cheers!
picked up both those bottles a few weeks ago and both are great... BUT, that same week I found a store pick of EC thats barrel proof coming in at 135.7 10 years old and it's probably the best bottle I own. It's A123 on steroids in the best way.
Me and Trenton are synced up at 11:36
I love all these notes. Too entertaining! Crazy but entertaining
Having poor computer skills pays off again! This is a comparison that I've been wondering about! Thanks! Cheers!
I love LBP, but ECBP beats it every day of the week for me.
You just need to get through that crusty grass layer to get to the butterscotch. Trenton doesn't like it because it has the word SCOTCH in it. 😉
Trenton and Kurton with the comment giveaways!
lol yeah sonic is bad. Just go to culver's
Let the ECBP get down below the E and then reevaluate. Then when it gets down into the C on the bottle it gets even better.
I get whiskey or bourbon notes. Most taste best in a mixed drink
Just walked in the door with those two bottles I found at my local. What a nice coincidence.
Nice battle! I have the Larceny 522 & 922 and the Elijah Craig 122, 522, and 922 waiting for this years! I really enjoy all of these. My Larceny has a nice sweetness, light peanut, baking spices, and a really good finish. My ECBP’s I get crackerjack peanut, vanilla cream, cinnamon, caramel, with a great finish. Two of my favorite lines. Cheers
I was surprised how good even the cheap Larceny was, I enjoyed that bourbon.
Shame people have nothing better to do than scam people on here.
I picked up the ECBP this past Friday here in Virginia. It is my first one, I have not seen the Larceny yet. So far I really like it, a bit hot for me at first but so good. I hope to get the Larceny and other EC when they come out. Great video as always!
Loved the video....have both, and well....leaning toward the ECBP C922
Larceny BP or Makers Mark cask Strength?
Regular Elijah had a cough syrup taste to me. I may have to try Larceny.
Just saw a video, that the company has announced that the ECBP will no longer be a 12yo. It will also be a batch product. The B523 is 11yo. 😢😭
I didn’t see that yet. Darn shame if true.
