This batch number is printed on the front of each bottle along with the proof.

Specific Batch Reviews:

"It’s not nearly as blazing as ECBP releases from years past, but frankly that’s just fine. The whiskey finishes out not with one specific note but rather a compilation of flavors drawn from all that’s come before, a melding of chocolate, fruit, vanilla, and caramel — plus hints of cinnamon. Banana split in a glass? I wouldn’t debate you on that verdict." - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (95 Points)

"The aroma is like walking past a salt water taffy stand at a county fair while wearing a new leather jacket. A few steps away is the whiff of candied apples. The candied fruit notes are more jammy on the palate, with notes of strawberry jelly mixing with roasted nuts, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Flavours of tart apple and earthy black tea cut the sweetness, oiliness, and roasty richness on the midpalate. The finish is sweet-tart and spicy with a medium burn." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (92 Points)

"Overall, this is a fast favorite of mine, demonstrating a straying profile in a delicious direction. I love that ginger, cola and root beer and find no issue with the sub-130 proof. Worthy of a backup purchase, for sure." - Whisky Raiders

"This is an overall exceptional Kentucky bourbon experience." - The Whiskey Wash
