Well ECBP has become my torchbearer for quality whiskey that you can actually still find on shelves. At $60 it isn't too far up the cost chain to make it unreasonable if you drink in moderation so I consider it a gem. Have heard mixed reviews on this batch so here we go... Nose is very full bodied of molasses and caramel. This has not a hint of ethanol and begs to be tasted. First sip washes warm brown sugar across your tongue with hints of vanilla, caramel, and maybe a touch of peanuts. The burn is somewhat short considering this one comes in north of 136 proof, but the caramel lingers long after. Verdict here is that EC keeps producing a great dram with the BP offerings.
