Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Nah not super woody. Decent sweetness. It’ll be fine and he will appreciate the effort.
  • Honestly EC is a pretty solid bottle and I can’t imagine anyone who likes bourbon would scoff at receiving it as a gift unless they’re very picky, or rude, or both. You’ll be fine, you picked well!
  • Old forester, wild turkey 101, early times BiB, Elijah Craig small batch, and four roses are all good for the price.
  • The small batch is great for the price
  • Elijah Craig small batch is also great in that range but isn’t as high proof

Cons

  • I agree don't care for the small batch or ecbp but this is good to me
  • Weirdly, I don’t care for EC small batch at all though.
  • To me, toasted definitely stands out way above the standard EC small batch.

If looking to start with something closer to the price range of the Gentleman's Jack, then maybe grab an Elijah Craig Small Batch.

I think the standard 94 proof Elijah Craig Small Batch is a really solid bottle that feels somewhat overlooked these days
