Manhattan for this lovely evening

@Tago-Mago I’ve been on your time (virtually) for the last 4 days and won’t be home for a couple of hours. You’ll be way ahead by the time I have a chance to start!

@Tago-Mago thanks - it’s been a long week (not bad, just long)!

@scooter I just picked up the EC B524 batch this week but didn’t open yet since the A124 batch is still in my rotation. The EC along with the Larceny barrel proof batches, are typically very good IMO for the price point. So how are you rating this batch?
No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

Fuckin fine and fancy

I've had an on-again-off-again kick for Modelo Cheladas for the past couple years, but last night I spiked one with some 1800 anejo and I think i'm gonna put a ring on it

My apologies, for the delay. I typically don't care to comment on fresh cracks, and it took me a while to enjoy another pour.
Prior to this, I've only had 2 bottles of ECBP. Both were store picks. So, this is my first regular release. At 11+ years, and 130+ proof, it is by far the oldest/strongest I've had.
My impressions: Heavy cinnamon and caramel, with a hint of buttered popcorn on the nose. Cinnamon and brown sugar on the palate. Cinnamon(again), and a hint of chili pepper on the finish. Being above 130 proof, it is a tad hot, but I don't find it offensive, at all. Admittedly, I am a proof whore. So, it's right up my alley. It's definitely worth the buy.

Latest acquisition...

@scooter thanks for your review of the ECB524. I’m also a proof whore and this batch sounds tasty and am looking forward to adding to the rotation after I complete the A124 batch. Thanks again and enjoy! BTW - I never had anything from Bardstown; looks like a nice blend - I’m going to check this out.
