"Will it get better with age? No one knows, but for now EC21 is simply king of the hill." - breakingbourbon.com

High-aged bourbons are commanding big dollars nowadays. EC 21 is reported to be one of the best. Like others in this series, for such old bourbon, it’s not overpowered by wood. This release was from barrel #70, so the reviews below are indicative only. 45% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Surprisingly reserved on the oak spice; it tastes like a bourbon half its age. Soothing in nature, with layers of sweetness (honey, vanilla cream, caramel, nougat), lively complex fruit (coconut, pineapple, ripe peach, honeydew melon), and gentle cinnamon. Soft, creamy finish. A whiskey that has aged very gracefully. Delicious! (This is a single barrel; every barrel is unique.) 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com (Winter 2013) Reviewed by: John Hansell

...Putting aside the fact that this is slightly overpriced, this bourbon is phenomenal. From the moment you pour a glass, you’re treated to a gorgeous copper colored bourbon with legs that want to make their presence known all day long. Make sure to add 5-6 drops of water, as you’ll be rewarded with a supremely luscious smell that is backed up with an equally delicious palate and finish. I can only hope that future releases of the EC series stay this good as the age increases, as I’m truly going to miss this bourbon when the bottle's gone. - breakingbourbon.com
