ECBP blind warmup. :cool

4 bourbon bros and we all have the same results.

B520>C923>B524>8yr private barrel

So, the 8yr is a pick that I helped on. I now own the empty barrel. Compared to the older pours, it’s obviously the worst. But these were all fresh cracked bottles today. I have a nearly empty of the same 8yr pick that has been open a year. Night and day difference with the fresh crack. Air time is a real thing.

Do you have a scoring chart to ring different categories of each pour? I did something similar for @Hooligan350 I think we only had three different Elijah Craig verb proof bottles. There was surprising result

One of us took notes and we discussed. Our point scores (out of 10) were all pretty similar. And we drank them in different orders so we weren’t really just concurring with eachother.

Glendronach Port Wood

How is the Port Wood? They’re floating around here but the cask strength was only $5 more so I got it instead. The cask strength is excellent!

Its very good, but not great. Worth the price if you like port finished offerings (which I very much do). It's not terriblely complex but very on point for the flavor profile, incredibly drinkable and tasty. IIRC around here this slots in between the standard Glendronach 12 and the 15, which I think fits the bottle quailty.

I have no comparison to the cask strength as I've not seen one of those around here.
 
This bottle has gotten even sweeter and more interesting with some resting time and air.
