Pros
- If it is, I assume he's a fan of double oaked... I'd look for: * Makers Mark No 46 French Oaked Cask Strength * Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel
- I found this one opened up considerably over a month or two. At first, it was just a sweet bourbon. After awhile, I found it so creamy and delicious.
- Parent context: 7 for sure! Reply: I agree don't care for the small batch or ecbp but this is good to me
- 7 for sure!
- Everyone has different palettes, that is for sure but this deserves better than a 5.1.
Cons
- Giving out a 5.1, but honestly feel that may be a bit generous. ... There was some richness in the nose, but I found the intensity of the sip to be lacking and thought many of the flavors clashed. The sweetness for a toasted barrel was u...
- EG is one of my favorite brown waters but the Toasted Barrel is not a fav.
- You really can’t go wrong with any of those picks except for the EC Toasted. People seem to be really hit or miss on toasted barrel bourbons/ryes (I happen to really enjoy them).
- Elijah Craig toasted barrel is a 5.1 but woodford batch proof is a 9.4 sure 🙄
- It is still in the "good" category. I think the big thing for me is it just didn't have anything that made it memorable for me necessarily. It was missing something to make it standout from the crowd in this ~$50 bottle realm.

About a 6.75 for me. ... I bought it and went home and sat in the hot top sipping on it. It helped get me through the next 3 days so... ill always owe it my allegiance
I absolutely love this one!!!
I’ve seen a lot of people not like this, but it’s one of my favorites for the price.
Giving out a 5.1, but honestly feel that may be a bit generous. ... There was some richness in the nose, but I found the intensity of the sip to be lacking and thought many of the flavors clashed. The sweetness for a toasted barrel was underwhelming, some parts of the sip felt uninviting, and it was tied up with a shockingly short finish.
I love the EC Toasted, might become a staple at my home bar.
