Fox Cigar Bar pick from Gilbert, Arizona.
(As I have already reviewed this whiskey instead of a full review I will just note the differences between this store pick and the standard version. Review probably of limited value to anyone outside the Phoenix AZ area)
Ok, just have to start off by saying this is absolutely delicious.
Less spice and shorter finish than the standard version (probably since the two are somewhat related) but the depth of flavors are richer and more decadent. Peaches and cream, rich vanilla bean, buttered corn, sweet oak, cinnamon sugar…it’s all there and seamlessly integrated. Note that when I say “shorter finish” that it is still ridiculously long. Not a hint of ethanol anywhere in the nose or palate. Liquid ambrosia.
I believe if memory serves I paid $119 for this and would literally line up to pay that again. It’s that good. Obviously with store picks mileage varies, but if given the chance to grab another pick of EHTSB at this price I will certainly not pass on it.

Seems like most of the EHT single barrels are a notch above the standard (based on 3 different picks). The original never did it for me.
