What did you think of EHT Small Batch? I wasn't too impressed with my bottle regarding how it drank. It wasn't befitting of the 100 proof I'm use to and drank more like a mid 90 proof at best. The finish wasn't very long either. I always drink neat too (even Bookers 126.7 proof). Interested to hear your thoughts on it
What's left of some Col. EH Small Batch

Oooof. I CANNOT drink Bookers straight! I add a few drops to Col. I wish it drank as well as the nose suggested. Smells unreal and then is OK. I think it's mediocre. For the price here in Milwaukee I can get Bookers or Willett Pot. Both of which I find superior. I'd love to try the Single Barrel though. But as far as the small batch is concerned I probably won't buy again.

I feel ya on that. My EHT came in the usual Scotch style tin case so at least I added that to my collection (use it to hold bourbon corks). I'm really looking forward to trying the Single and Barrel Proof (as King Kill 33 suggested). Did you pull Apples in the aroma and soda pop on the palate in yours?
As far as bookers is concerned and any other high proof bourbon, once you primed the palate it softens up a lot and is quite tolerable.

I just realized that @Tennessee Dave started this Thread with his EHT Small Batch and 40 pages later we've come full circle. Keep em' coming boys

This single barrel 10 year is phenomenal. They put up different aged single barrels; I've seen 10 and 11 year but have only had the 10. I had a bottle of the regular Old Scout awhile back and really enjoyed it, but this single barrel was something else. It's a bit pricey at $58 but I'd still recommend picking up a bottle.

I'm pretty sure it's a Copita Nosing Glass. It's something they used quite frequently in Scotland before the Glencairn was formed and released.

I only use it when trying something new for the first time - way too fancy for everyday pours
Old fashioned. Using up the EH Taylor. I like it, but its not as good as some others I'm currently drinking so I'm using it in mixers. I am really enjoying it in this old fashioned.

I've got a jug of Stagg Jr. I bought last fall. First time I'd seen it in my area. Haven't tried yet, probably should.

What proof is your Stagg Jr?
