Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C923 vs. B517: Ultimate Bourbon Battle and Tasting Showdown!

[@msutton01]

C923 is a monster at its price point. Holds up very well vs. EHT BP, yeah, I said it.

[@billcaffrey2672]

I love the A123 as well. I keep going back and forth vs C923 - in terms of my fav.

[@BourbonJudge]

9.43? Lmao.. love it great job brother

[@lilannalucey]

I've got multiple people waiting for C923 to drop in our area so we can all score a bottle. As soon as someone mentions on FB that it's local, there'll be a dotted outline of where I used to be sitting as I rip out of the neighborhood.

I am hearing that it is a much smaller release than B523.

[@WhiskyNeighbour]

Wow, this one is killin it. Thanks for sharing!

[@hdfiuhl]

Amazing, I still have unopened bottle of B517, as I am in Europe, it was first and also last batch which somehow made it to my country... So I have it for years, but actually never had a sip of any ECBP... 🙂

After two months looking around for C923 I went in a shop to get some foursquare rum and some single barrel select old forester when I saw several bottles sitting behind the counter and was in disbelief until I purchased them.

Glad I picked up 2 at MSRP, it’s freaking fantastic and nice change from other barrel proofs.

[@johng5710]

I got 4...One's going to be a Christmas gift though...I think 😂

[@TheBourbonJerk]

Definitely in my top 5 of the year. Cheers!

[@Blinc32]

Great review Chris! I just got to do C920 vs C923 and it was CLOSE as they're both in the 130s of proof but C923 had richer flavors and the C920 was just a little too hot. Cheers man!

[@brentworls8509]

It's a banger!!!!

[@Johnny5_]

I had to pay significantly more than MSRP when it showed up in my area ... but I'm not overly mad about it

[@huntermcneely7596]

It truly is a banger!

[@reberiii]

OK, as a PA guy, I need help getting a bottle. FWGS just restocked with B523 a couple weeks ago, and the best price I can find for a company that would dare ship into this state is $220. I've literally been trying for three months to get one.How'd you get yours? Thanks!

[@davevogelsang6791]

C923 drinks too hot for me even over ice. I prefer A123 over B523 and C923. To each their own. 🥃
