Can't believe I never reviewed this one. I have about 1/3 of a bottle left and just realized i never reviewed this. There are probably a dozen others on my shelf I never reviewed either but as i find them again i will. On to the ETL. I paid $40 for this a couple years ago and it sat in queue to be opened for quite some time. When i finally opened this bottle i shared with some whiskey friends who had previously had ETL and kinda killed my buzz of wanting to try it. Here's where things change.... They both said their mind was blown and their previous experiences with this bottle were nothing like the one i had. It is a single barrel so some variation exists but i can't imagine it being night and day as they described. The particular bottle was from 2019 and i opened it in 2021 so maybe that year had a good batch....i dunno. So to me this was really good with a lot more sweetness than a blanton's or eagle rare but still had the same BT profile just smoothed out a lot more than all those mentioned. Would i pay $40 for it again? Absolutely if it tasted like that. Would i pay secondary prices? Hell no! A great bottle for retail maybe even double if you can't find it anywhere for two reasons a) it's actually pretty good b) your friends who know whiskey will be impressed you have an ETL. 8/19/22
