What a (new) view......

[ARNC]

@endo I could so use one (or two) of those right now! Gotta drive home first.

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC we’re an hour ahead. You’re still on schedule

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago I’ve been on your time (virtually) for the last 4 days and won’t be home for a couple of hours. You’ll be way ahead by the time I have a chance to start!

[endo]

Bon voyage @ARNC and enjoy when you're home

[ARNC]

@endo thanks - finally got there!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC cheers. Sounds like you more than deserve that

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago thanks - it’s been a long week (not bad, just long)!

[endo]

cheers guys ️

@scooter I just picked up the EC B524 batch this week but didn’t open yet since the A124 batch is still in my rotation. The EC along with the Larceny barrel proof batches, are typically very good IMO for the price point. So how are you rating this batch?

Fuckin fine and fancy

A most welcome Father’s Day gift presented to me this morning. What’s not to like.

Happy Father’s Day to all the IH forums Dads

I've had an on-again-off-again kick for Modelo Cheladas for the past couple years, but last night I spiked one with some 1800 anejo and I think i'm gonna put a ring on it

My apologies, for the delay. I typically don't care to comment on fresh cracks, and it took me a while to enjoy another pour.

Prior to this, I've only had 2 bottles of ECBP. Both were store picks. So, this is my first regular release. At 11+ years, and 130+ proof, it is by far the oldest/strongest I've had.

My impressions: Heavy cinnamon and caramel, with a hint of buttered popcorn on the nose. Cinnamon and brown sugar on the palate. Cinnamon(again), and a hint of chili pepper on the finish. Being above 130 proof, it is a tad hot, but I don't find it offensive, at all. Admittedly, I am a proof whore. So, it's right up my alley. It's definitely worth the buy.
