C920 and all three 2021 batches
Ok, all done. Fairly confident on 1 & 4, 2 & 3 not as sure....
Flight notes:
1
Nose- oaky and sweet, hints of dark brown sugar and semi-sweet chocolate
Palate- very dark & oaky, lots of charred barrel a little bitter on the finish. Very proofy.
Finish- medium, dry and almost a little bitter, medium
Rating: 8.7
Guess- C921
Actual:C921
2
Nose- lighter, oaky with some vanilla and dark red fruit
Palate- oaky with some peppery spice
Finish- relatively short
Rating - 8.4
Guess - A121
Actual:B521
3
Nose-lightest of the 3, similar to 2 with more hints of chocolate instead of vanilla
Palate-very peppery and ethanoly on the tongue at first, fades to more standard EC flavor - dark, dry oak.
Finish-long, dry and oaky
Rating - 8.2
Guess - B521
Actual:A121
4
Nose-smooth, rich, chocolaty and sweet. Hint of dark fruit
Palate-flavor burst! Dark, rich and sweet, dark and semi-chocolate with a bit of charred oak. High octane but without the ethanoly flavor
Finish-loooong lasting, keeps the dark chocolate tones with some dry pepper sneaking in towards the end. Warms ever so nice.
Rating-9.6

Looks like I switched A121 and B521
So my rankingsr/ratings were:
C920 - 9.6
C921 - 8.7
B521 - 8.4
A121 - 8.2
C920 is just a special one, that one immediately jumped out. C batch was the '21 winner between the 3, but it was honestly a lot closer than I thought it would be.

This last night led to a massive hangover this morning.
Of all the booze I drink, I find scotch or bourbon provide the cleanest following mornings. But mixing those two on one night, bad news. Ymmv
Pedialyte or just coconut water.

I’ve tried the jug of pedialyte the night of and the morning of and it never cures my pounding headaches lol.
Advil, ftw

Coconut water has more electrolytes I believe. I’m told you can hook up coconut water straight into an IV
I find it best to wake up in the middle of the night to hydrate instead of just before sleep

That’s amazing
Two advil, slam a gatorade, and push through. If you're going to be the man at night, you've gotta be the man in the morning.

The only one out of this group that I have had is the B21. My bottle is almost gone
I thought the B521 was one of the best batches that I have had from the ECBP lineup. That says a lot because I haven't had a bad batch yet lol. Which one was the really high proof, in the 136 range? I LOVED that one. I'd drop one large ice ball in it for about 5 minutes. It was the absolute perfect pour!

I think I have a crush on you.
I think that was last year's January release A120. Everything this year was lower, all in the low 120s / high teens proof. C920 was 132, thats my sweet spot before it really starts transitioning into jet fuel lol

I agree about the 132 comment. That's why I transformed the 136 with an ice ball for a few minutes before sharing the ice with my dog lol. IMO, this transformed the "jet fuel" into something amazing.

I had Colleen do the same thing with me over the summer. I need to make another trip. My second bottle is half empty

The Makers 46 is probably my favorite pour from the MM lineup that I've tried. How does this compare? May I ask what the price point is for this bottle?
It’s available by me for $36.99

The barrel strength MM is 37 bucks?
You didn’t say cask strength. That’s about $49 near me

I have no idea what this bottle costs. I can't find it in MI. That seems great!! Not familiar with New Riff, and 40 bucks for barrel proof of anything is solid.
It is $69.95 here, IF you can find it
