Birthday Presents Ruined

So, a couple of years ago I bought one of these to try. E.W. was my grandad's go to. I bought another that was barreled the same year my oldest son was born with the intention of drinking it with him when he becomes of age. I wanted to look for it for my other two kids (both sons) barreled the years...

Way too dry with a bitter end

2/22/25 We've been long time favorites of single barrel and years ago when they stopped shipping it to the Chicago suburbs we were heart broken, but today we found some at a few of the stores around here and so we stocked up because it was on allocation, 1 bottle per person, then went home to enjoy ...

I was going to use it in an Old Fashioned, but decided to try it with a couple of rocks. Great decision! This bourbon belongs on the top shelf!

Complex, smooth and extremely more-ish! A new favourite!

This whiskey really exemplifies what I look for in a Bourbon - oaky, caramel notes, balanced with a touch of orchard fruits. Fantastic on the rocks or neat...but wouldn't mind mixing it up in something different next time.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I just found a few bottles of this with a 2015 date in Atlantic City. The guy at the liquor store said it was a new release. Is this being reintroduced to the market?

I bought another that was barreled the same year my oldest son was born with the intention of drinking it with him when he becomes of age. I wanted to look for it for my other two kids (both sons) barreled the years they were born to open and enjoy when they reach legal drinking age... I guess that idea is now ruined. Can you open this up for special limited orders? I need a bottle barreled in 2015 and 2019.

This was my favorite bourbon and couldn't find it in stores a few years ago. I just read online that it will be sold in Kentucky only. That makes me sad.

The best for the price

Heard a rumor at my local Total Wine that E.W.S.B. may be arriving in November. Any truth to the rumor? It may sound strange, but I mix it 50/50 with Elijah Craig - just the right taste for me.
