Great seeing Sean backing Early Times BiB again. First couple years were rough for that bottle post buyout, but recently the blending has improved so much, like 95% of the way back to greatness. Hoping that the Sazerac distillate keeps up the pace, and that they release a cask strength sometime in the near future
