Pros
- Glad to hear, c924 is gone, and I was torn on getting this, reviews vary, but I think it will be worth a shot
- Parent context: Today we're checking out the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C924! Reply: This was my favorite ECBP of last year. Solid stuff. Nice review!
- ECBP for me is just super consistent. It's not another C923, but I'm still a big fan of this C924 release! ... t8ke scale: 7.3/10 | Great | Well above average.
- The five (5) blind scores for the C924 were: 7.5, 8.5, 8.3, 8.2, 7.5, 8.8 ... Throwing out a 7.5 and the 8.8, the score (currently) sits at an 8.125. ... reviewing my tasting notes, I can see why I may prefer the C924.
- The C924 had more of the sweet cherry taste on the palate and and finish and more of a cinnamon on the finish for the B524. ... 8.13 - 4 blind tastings (C924)
Cons
- But the C924 I have has sat untouched since I opened it 9 months ago. Just sour bitter oak for me.
- I’m not a huge fan is C924. I tried it, and own Larceny A125, and I waited for ECBP B525 to buy another. C924 was just simpl, ethanol forward, and lacking in flavor compared to B525.
- Ultimately, I'll land on a 91/100 - tied for my second-lowest ECBP score with C918 (also cinnamon-heavy). It's a well-executed pour, it's just that the flavor profile isn't my favorite.

Parent context: Today we're checking out the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C924! Reply: For me personally, this is an exceptional bottle. I bought one a month ago or so and its drinking better than anything in my cabinet right now aside from maybe my russells reserve private selection.

C923 and C924 have been my favorite two batches.
