Nothing wrong with this. Classic bourbon notes with the nuttiness dialed up.
Been a minute since I reviewed anything. Between work and my dissertation life has hit like a sledgehammer and there hasn’t been time for our favorite brown beverage. Plus I’ve embarked on a vigorous weight loss program the past few months and I find myself drinking less. I see it as earning all the whisky calories.
So this isn’t standard EC, but one of several store picks I’ve seen pop up around me all of a sudden. This one happens to be an 8 year pick, but I’ve seen 9 and 10 year picks around town too. Lovely classic bourbon notes plus a nondescript nutty profile I find intriguing (a Heaven Hill calling card?). A head turner? No, bit for $30 it’s a solid sipper, and a definite upgrade from the ECSB. Now if only we got ECBP down here in Texas...

Very interesting - I hadn't realized these barrel picks had age statements. I'll have to take a look, because I think our state liquor store has a few in stock. If it's an improvement on the ECSB, then I'd say the VFM is excellent at $30. BTW, what's the topic of your dissertation?
