It’s the latest Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B524. Finally packing a 130 proof age statement and 11 years can this hold up to the great ECBP batches?

Hmm. Finally a positive review on the B524. I just got one at retail for $75. I hope to find it’s a good one.

[@bourbonbill]

Yeah it’s a solid batch it’s not their best ever but it’s certainly better than others

New subscriber here. Im liking the Bourbon Bill vids,learning alot of tips and tricks.

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks for subscribing welcome aboard!

[@msutton01]

Tried the B524 last night. You're spot on! A step up from A124 and a step down from C923. It's a buy for me as well because it's definitely worth the money.

[@bourbonbill]

Absolutely Mike glad you enjoyed it. Can’t go wrong with it

[@kpmarine10]

Another great video, Bill! Thank you! Has anyone got to try one of these single barrel ECBP toasted yet? Love to hear an ECBP fan’s take on them.

[@bourbonbill]

I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone actually get one yet so not sure if they are out I’m definitely interested in getting one though

[@993C2S]

C923s are going for $250 now! Cannot find any cheaper anywhere in the internet. Wish I knew about it when I was released.

[@bourbonbill]

Wow that’s a lot over msrp. I had seen some on secondary for 150ish a few weeks ago but I just hate the upcharge 250 is too much

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

Bought one last week it's unquestionably worth this doll hairs!! Still nursing my C923 as I can't find another so happy to have this B524 to fill in the gaps.

[@bourbonbill]

Yeah for sure I only have one C923 myself and it’s being drank slower than the others lol

[@JCTexanRyeGuy]

I’m saving the remaining half of my C923 for bottle shares. Anyone who hasn’t tried it deserves to.

[@bourbonbill]

@@JCTexanRyeGuythat’s great more people deserve to taste it

[@JCTexanRyeGuy]

@@bourbonbill couldn’t agree more. Plus the only other special bottle I have is this years Jack 10

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

@@JCTexanRyeGuy highly suggest finding the JD12 if you can. It's phenomenal.

[@nicksinderson3302]

When it comes to ECBP iterations, of course you have to compare it to it's most recent releases but it would also be important to compare it to other similar priced/aged options (if there are any) from other distilleries. I appreciate Heaven Hill for offering availible great barrel proof whiskeys (Larceny bp, ECBP) at a reasonable price. When great iterations are released they compare with whiskeys 5 times that $75.00 price.

[@bourbonbill]

Yeah for sure sadly not a lot of near age stated barrel proofs that are putting out $75 dollar bottles anymore

[@jamesstreet1144]

I’m looking forward to getting this one myself. Sounds pretty good. Great review.

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks James. If you want a sample let me know

[@WhiskeyCorner]

Great review Bourbon Bill! Haven’t seen this in my area yet but excited to get it once available. Cheers Brother 🥃

[@bourbonbill]

Cheers Carlos hope all is well

[@chefbrooklyn5140]

Bourbon Bill I enjoyed your video let me tell you why you kept the background simple and you were true to who you are. Dont change nothing. I became a subscriber and I will get me a bottle

[@bourbonbill]

Thank you I do what I can and its always best just to be authentic

[@3800fanatic]

Ahh one of my favorite findable limited releases glad to hear this one is worth a pickup

[@bourbonbill]

Absolutely agree. Its a great bourbon for the price and availability

[@DahBeers]

All ECBP batches are buys for me. ECBPs, Russell’s picks/RR13s, and sagamore releases are really taking over my bar. My most recent Russell pick is a 10 yr CN-F floor 5, so maybe a single rickhouse reject barrel lol

[@bourbonbill]

Hey that’s a well stocked bar you got it all some of the best ryes around and then some good aged bourbon. That’s a nice older pick when I was traveling for work I was seeing nothing but 8yr picks for almost a 100

[@DahBeers]

@@bourbonbill down in SC still 65-70. My last 3 in the last 6 months have all been at least 10 yr and camp Nelson barrels

[@bourbonbill]

@@DahBeersman if I saw a 10yr pick at 65 I’d be a buyer maybe I need to take a drive down south

[@nuttinfancy]

Ok, you talked me into it! Thanks bro!

[@bourbonbill]

Haha really twisted your arm did I!

[@billybruticus4719]

Picked up a George dickle bib 13yr on your recommendation. Definitely worth the price of 45$ in my area. Unpopular opinion but I may prefer it to knob Creek 12 for the price

[@bourbonbill]

Oh man that would be a good comparison I don’t think I’ve ever compared them! Glad you like it it’s a sleeper

[@maddevil7474]

Yeah it is great whiskey the flavors are great…

[@pitt1108]

I only have maybe 1-2 pours left in my EC A124. I enjoyed that more than the jack barrel proof on my wedding weekend.

[@bourbonbill]

Blasphemy lol love me the JD but yeah A124 is good on its own but starts to fall off vs other batches for me. Congrats on the wedding

[@pitt1108]

@@bourbonbill appreciate that bill! I do need a few batches for the cabinet. Going today to see if they got a new one!

[@bourbonbill]

@@pitt1108fingers crossed for you

[@pitt1108]

@@bourbonbill it worked!! Got one there’s only one left. Someone else will be blessed

[@davevogelsang6791]

Nice review BB. All EC BP’s are good; some are just better than others. B524 sounds decent. 🥃

[@bourbonbill]

Yeah this is a good one for sure. I’ll do my 2023 vs 2024 video once I get the C924 I’ll be curious to see where B524 lands but I think it’s one of the better releases

[@xrecklesdriverx]

bourbon bill always coming in hot with the reviews !!!

[@bourbonbill]

Haha I do what I can sometimes it takes me awhile to get the latest sometimes I’m early

[@Ken-Dad23]

Another great review, Bill. Looking forward to this. Will be hunting in the Pocono area this week. BTW - How do you have that much C923 left? I didn't realize it would be so hard to get and almost killed mine. I am saving my last pour for a special occasion.

[@bourbonbill]

Haha I was real sparing with it once it beat C920 for me which was my previous favorite. But having this channel I got plenty of high aged good whiskey to drink so I can savor it more slowly

[@Subourbon]

probably won't see this in NŸ until September.

[@bourbonbill]

One thing is Pa does seem to get them roughly on time unlike everything else lol

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

I'm only picking up the ECBP "hitters" these days.

[@bourbonbill]

Well add this one to the stable lol

[@C_H_1972]

If you’re gonna pull varying ages like Old Fitz, then reduce the prices of younger batches accordingly. 10-$59 11-$65 12plus- $75 I’m not as compelled to buy all of these anymore. My all time favorite is still C920. Thanks BB!

[@bourbonbill]

I like the idea I’m always in favor of less money haha. Oddly that’s the only brand Heaven Hill does that with

[@kevinernst6424]

Why are you swirling it so hard in the glass? It's not wine. Bourbon is not meant for that!

[@bourbonbill]

Believe me it gets quite a swirling going down to the stomach haha. Also, that bottle was newer wanted some vigorous air exposure

[@tombetty1313]

Yes it is. You’re dumb

[@DocFong21]

They need so start releasing some bad products. this subscription is getting expensive lol

[@bourbonbill]

Hahah shhh don’t give them ideas to release worse stuff and still charge us the same
