I spent some quality time with this bourbon. Long and short of it is - If you’re looking for a life-altering, mind-bending [bourbon] experience, look elsewhere. This bourbon is not for you. If you’re looking for a reliable and tasty daily sipper, you’ve arrived at your destination! In a world of seemingly endless whiskey options, including craft iterations, both fostering bourbon traditions and pushing experimentation boundaries respectively, this is my “return to normal” bourbon. It placates my oak, caramel & vanilla cravings. Everyone should try an EC at some point in their bourbon whiskey journey. This one (and it’s SiB & CS/BP variants) have secured a permanent spot on my rotation. 3.25 - 3.5⭐️ Cheers friends!
