I like TRKs but I still own some Paulson sets.

Ok, between these and the 2 ECBP I bought earlier this week, I'm done for a while. I promise. I'm over 50 bottles now with lots of bourbon/whiskey/rye/scotch variety. I just have to stay out of the liquor stores for a month or 2 now lol

 

[Saoliver]

From last night. I don’t drink in the morning...at least not whiskey. Lol.

 

[Klobberer]

This just arrived. Some serious "Special Occasion" whiskey! Thanks

The last of my EC 12yr.
So, what’s the best version now?
Any thoughts on the toasted barrel?

I love the toasted barrel and EC Barrel Proof is always in my Top 5.

Talk to me about the toasted barrel.
How different is it?

It’s different than regular EC. Sweeter. Some get notes of toasted marshmallow, Graham, or even chocolate...which sounds like a s’more put all together. Lol.

I love it, but I prefer Woodford Double Oaked over EC Toasted Barrel.

Was curious if it had a lot of extra oak, doesn’t sound like it.
Would be good around the campfire with all that flavor.
More oak in the woodford I guess. I need to try the double oak at some point.
Cheers!

Completely different animal. I've always found regular EC 12 a very traditional bourbon profile, maybe a tad nutty. The toasted barrel has s'more-like qualities. You like campfire s'mores? You'll like the toasted barrel.

IMO the best double oaked on the market is Old Forester 1910.

Sounds like you and @Saoliver are in complete agreement on the toasted barrel.
Sounds good, gonna have to try some.

I could send a sample...got anything good worth trading?

I do like some oak but not to much. Would definitely try these double oaks before buying a bottle. I’m up for that!
Aged a Manhattan , Rittenhouse with Carpano Antica. Smooth it out and added some good oak which I liked.

The Bookers is an older bottle.

My wife bought me a barrel like that for Xmas. I put 3L of Maker's Mark in it for 2 weeks. Turned out nicely.

Not a Bookers fan, but would like to taste the Remus batch 1 versus the 2 and 4 that I already have. Hate to waste shipping costs on a single sample. I'll send 4 and you can surprise me...PM coming.

 

[Klobberer]

Gotta free up some sample bottles...thanks @juankay20

 

[Saoliver]

Amaretto Sours.

 

[Klobberer]

Once again, thanks @juankay20

Whoa! Delicious, delicious rocket fuel.

Derek, what's the proof on this one?

Definitely one of my favorites! C919 is 136.8 and B517 is 124.2

Just looked it up...136.8 degrees of thermonuclear goodness! This bottle cracks my top ten.

Gas-o-line I like to call them.

I need to find me a Cigar Blend bottle.

I keep looking. If the place I go has more than one, and no limit, I'm buying them all. I know I can sell/trade the extras to all of you very easily.

You speak the truth. I've never seen one in a store here, ever.

It's a @juankay20 kind of night...
