re: Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch Volume III

Attention Denham area folks, the Carter's on the corner of Cockerham & Hatchel has one bottle of Elijah Craig barrel proof batch C922 on the shelf.

Good evening. Nice to see OGD reemerging in the area.

Evening baws, FPD

Epic, how do you like the KLuke?

Talking about OGD made the next pour decision easier. Boulevardier

Last one for the evening is a must try

It kinda reminds me of some of the younger (8 or 9 year) Elijah Craig Barrel Proof picks with it’s sweet oak component and sharpness. It’s a bit hot, I let it sit out for a bit and it tamed some of the initial sharpness, but still drinks a bit hot (even for 119 proof). It does have a very long finish with a slight tea note that I enjoy. I think it’s one that may get better with time.

I know this is unfair, but when I ordered the KLuke from Seelbach’s I was offered a 7yr Four Gate rye finished in toasted and charred French oak barrels for half off and it kinda kills the KLuke, but normally would be twice the MSRP so it should

A younger ECBP is a great comp. I find all of the releases to be on the sweeter side, but with good complexity for the age (guessing 5-8 year blends).

I think he should consider a second tier with some higher aged blends.

I've only had four gate once. It was a sherry finish and outstanding. I went back to that restaurant a few weeks ago hoping for more, but it was long gone. They were giving fairly generous pours for 18. I've come close to buying a bottle several times. The new(ish) mizunara will probably be too tempting to pass up if I run across it.

The store pick Elios Remus is good too!
Evening gents and speaking of Elios

Sticking with 4R tonight. As much as I enjoyed those sibs, this is a completely different level. V and K recipes ranging from 12-19 years.
