Any chance you can use your WTWT clout to get HH to change to cooler looking ECBP bottles?? The WHH or PHC bottles (or something similar) would be SO much better!!! Love you man!

    Hahaha your octopus line killed me. I was sipping this while you reviewed it. I think I had a similar thought to you in that I nosed a ocean washed tobacco that was super strong rye spice but coated in some weird funk. All wrapped in sweetness. Different from previous batches but I love how EC can change it up and still wow you! Keep up the good work my man

  • @THutch556
    @THutch556 3 года назад +9

    Matt, I have both of these fine Bourbons and for the sake of keeping ECBP available and somewhat easy to find, could you have not just picked Stagg Jr. as the winner? Lol, we all know Stagg anything is already impossible to find now anyway, so no reason to make ECBP even harder to find. Just kidding of course.
    With that said, I thought Stagg jr. batch 15 is one of the better batches in a long time. The ECBP A121 is also great. I thought A121 was better than last years “A120” batch, but not as good as last years “B520 and C920” but it keeps getting better the longer it’s open. My A121 has been open a month and just keeps improving. Thanks for the great review.

    I somehow managed to grab a bottle of the Stagg 15 this past week after never seeing a single bottle for years. It really is an excellent bottle. But I’m actually not surprised to hear you say that you liked the Elijah Craig more. I haven’t had the A121 yet, but the C920 is one of the best bourbons I’ve ever had. They’re doing something right over there at Heaven Hill.

      @@ADHDWhiskey This batch of ECBP is so different from all the others I have ever had. I do enjoy it and it is fairly complex. I totally got the apple cinnamon notes with some faint cherry notes. And then in and out I hit some of the classic nutty notes, but then it would swing back to the apple cinnamon notes. Kind of reminds me of an apple cinnamon granola bar/fig newton or something of that sort. Definitely a different and interesting bottle of ECBP and I am happy to have it and I enjoy it. Too many other people I know were shitting on the A121. Sometimes the norm is not always right.
