Welp. Took a morning inventory a little while ago for funsies.
I should probably slow down and drink what I have first before buying more...but I can't stop

This most recent batch was the mildest I've seen (I have opened bottles of 138-140 stuff). As with the others, it's really good.

I'll sip it neat most of the time, but often have some water on the side to cool the burn every few sips...last night I was looking to experiment a little.

Normally if I do go with ice, I start sipping immediately and enjoy the gradual mellowing as it goes from 135-140 proof to probably closer to 110 or so. Last night I poured it and walked away for 8-10 mins...was different to have a milder pour from the start but as always with EC, it's still got a ton of flavor.

I wouldn't do this with a Stagg or WLW, but ECBP is one of my favorites that's somewhat accessible a couple times a year.

Calandros in BR. Hokus Pokus in Dutchtown will randomly have a few nice bottles. Alexanders had a really nice barrel Select of Eagle Rare though I'm not sure there's any left.

Yes. I think it's as good as this years' release of Birthday Bourbon (but not as good as the 15...).

i've seen a few people float this idea and I've got to say, i want what you're smoking...

1920 is good but in no way compares to Birthday Bourbon (any year). It's a much higher proof and about half the age....no way
