It has softened up some. Much sweeter than when first opened. Still prefer the KCSB but this might be more approachable to a newer drinker. I was so disappointed when I opened it but it is better now!

Man down!
The Nikka Days was very easy drinker. I had multiple pours during our flight. LOL Nice floral and fruity notes. I liken it to my daily Redwood Empire Lost Monarch.
The Nikka Gold & Gold had more woody taste and slightly higher alcohol burn. Both good drinkers but the G&G would be good only if you can get it at a fair price. My brother got his bottle at the Duty Free.

I figured I'd go ahead and rep some Arizona love here. Stopped at the brewery/distillery on my way home from @bergs mini-AZ meetup yesterday and enjoyed this enough to get a bottle for home.
It's hard to describe beyond "not your typical rye". There's a little something extra here I can't quite place, but I enjoy a whole lot. Definitely a good sipper. I'll need to to a more careful tasting to be able to give a better description of the flavors. I'm also going to have to try making a Manhattan or Old Fashioned with it to see how it mixes.

They have a marshmallow flavored whiskey that is pretty good too.
Just had some WT101, lol. Followed it with a much better pour of 1792 small batch. All this b/c I watched that Bourbon Junkies vid of <$30 best bottles
Doesn't take much does it

This is a bottle that has grown on me. I didn't care for the first pour. As I have gotten deeper into the bottle I'm really starting to enjoy the flavor profile.

After a couple years not seeing any EC private barrels, they are everywhere now. Both the 8 or 10 yr.
Alright, so I wanna get into old fashion’s but I’m sadly allergic to cinnamon which is a common ingredient in almost all bitters…
Most companies won’t disclose exactly what spices they use to make their bitters so I’ve just mainly stayed away.
This leaves me with two options:
1. Make my own, this could be fun since I love little projects - but maybe a little costly and time consuming.
2. Find a company that definitely doesn’t have cinnamon as an ingredient
Thoughts?

I wish I could help. My only thought is that I hope this works out for you. Old fashions are one of my two go to pre dinner cocktails when dining out.

My guy got six of the Chicken Cock 20yr bottles. He got lucky and sold one in four months. I think he is stuck with the rest. I'd try it if they moved the decimal point to the left one spot.

I have to check on the age of my local EC Private Barrel.

This is amazing!
The tasting group I run did a vertical of a bunch of Bookers, including 30th Anniversary, a few years back.

Tasting NINE whiskeys? Hope there's a bed there for me to pass out on, sheesh.
Been lucky finding BT and ER lately in Wake fucking County. Sent my buddy in about 45 mins later and the last 2 bottles were gone. I really thought they'd be there, it was around 8pm. Limit 1 per customer.

Last night in exile nightcap!
I had never seen them here, then BOOM, 3 stores had private barrels. So, new experience for me. The reason I was shocked at the 8 year statement is, the regular ECBP is 12 years. The other 2 stores had private barrels with 10 year and an 11 year. So 8 seemed young for ECBP. Can't wait to try it though!!
Drinking Disco 5 right now. I get that Flinstone vitamin thing for sure. I like it, but I do NOT love it. That said, I do have a bottle of Disco 7 I am really looking forward to after this bottle. Exciting review...
Just killed a Disco 6. I’ll crack my 7 when you do.

Let me catch up! I'm still nursing a Disco 2.
I’ve heard that 2-4 are the best. I didn’t get a chance at those.Let me catch up! I'm still nursing a Disco 2.
Basically you pick a selection of spices/botanicals and infuse in Everclear for several days. Here's one cinnamon-free recipe I found, but there are plenty more out there: https://www.thespruceeats.com/basic-homemade-bitters-recipe-760289
Most ingredients can be found locally, but the less common stuff can be found on Amazon.
Let me know how it turns out if you make this!
that's awesome.
@Pinkdan here is a bitters that is more citrus and doesn't list cinnamon
