Cracked the 11 last night. Very sweet, caramel apple. Not much oak at all. Very balanced. Should be a stark contrast to the 10 year 5th floor compared to this 11 yr 3rd floor. Will do a comparison at some point.

Experimenting. Long Empty posterity bottle.
50% EC 12 year Barrel Proof A120 136.6 pf
/ 50% EC 12 year Single Barrel Store pic 94 pf
~ 120 Proof
It’s excellent.
Though This particular store pick, while great, already drinks a little hot for its Proof, but I think I may have a different one to use that may Bring the A120 into an even more amazing place.

I was fully prepared to be savaged for the amateur blending experiment. But I guess y’all are just gonna let that slide.... 
Last night was a weller night. 107, 107 store pick and full proof.
The FP was good, but no major step up from 107, don’t pay over 80 for it or you’ll probably be disappointed.

Drank the 10 year (117 proof, tasty) and 15 year (sweet and light, 92 proof). I will try the 12 year and some point when I feel like I can have a finished rye (other than MWND) and not be put off.

Bit the bullet and tried the Whistlepig 12 Year World Rye, finished in several wine barrels. Made it through less than half before it became a drain pour.
Turned to one of the only finished whiskeys I like to get that taste out of my mouth.

Last few pours. I like the LBP C920 better than A120 but it has a funk note that I can’t really describeother than that. It’s not quite peanuts but almost. I like this 10 yr ECPS more than the 11. The 11 is good but is just a sweet easy sipper. This one is more complex, caramel apple, peanuts, sweet oak, baking spices. Pretty much hits all parts of the flavor wheel.

Yeah, I’ve liked every Elijah Craig pick I’ve tried, but some have been vastly more flavorful and / or more complex than others. The one I’m drinking now has amazing unique sweet notes to it. But not overly sweet. @marshall9779

Had a pour of that Sunday at a biker bar, not bad at all.

Is that vastly different than the regular 46? Cause I really am not fond of that one..
Been awhile gents. Hope everyone is well!

The JD Barrel Proof? It’s fantastic. Really surprised me, I never expected to find a Jack I loved, but it and the single barrel select won me over big time.
