Pros
- I rated it a 9 neat, and it won a coveted eggnog moose mug last year. ... Once again this doesn't disappoint. Not a touch of bitterness to be found. Good spice-is it the eggnog or the whiskey and not knowing is what makes it go so well t...
- 7 | Great | Well above average (Jack Daniel’s SBBP, EH Taylor Single Barrel)
Cons
- I’ve found a huge variation between bottles. But mostly have had good ones. My first bottle was easily 9/10, second bottle 5/10 third 7/10..so that said, I do hope more people give up on these because I’ll take my chances.
- I think they’re good but not worth hunting for or near secondary.
- Honestly finding the single barrel vs the small batch, not worth it to me.
- Palate: Man this is thin. There is almost no mouthfeel on this it’s super watery. Super sweet on the palate with more of what was on the nose. ... Finish: Very little finish to speak of here. It hits your palate with a ton of sweetness a...

I rated it a 9 neat, and it won a coveted eggnog moose mug last year. ... Once again this doesn't disappoint. Not a touch of bitterness to be found. Good spice-is it the eggnog or the whiskey and not knowing is what makes it go so well together. This edges out the Winter Reserve by just the smallest of margins. There is a little extra "fullness" or body too this that stands out as better than the rest so far.

Palate: Man this is thin. There is almost no mouthfeel on this it’s super watery. Super sweet on the palate with more of what was on the nose. ... Finish: Very little finish to speak of here. It hits your palate with a ton of sweetness and then it’s gone. ... Final thoughts: This had to be a BT product, just all your typical BT notes. I am surprised this is EHT Single barrel because I’m usually a huge fan of it but for some reason this one just isn’t hitting the mark.
