I thought I was gonna hate on Old Crow Reserve as the first couple of pours had a vegetal rankness - I was ready to return my back-up bottle. Then, I had a pour to accompany some garlic corn nuts during the NBA Finals first game and it was a good match - the corn nuts prepared my palate, somehow. Lately, I had a pour after my first try of EC12 and all the hoar had disappeared. Four pours into this Old Crow, I'm almost converted - gotta keep with it to really decide. My rankings to date:
1. EC12 (head & shoulders - I'm doubling up on stock, I see a price increase from $20 going to $25+ here)
---
2. EWB (light, but sweet)
2. JBB (good balance)
X. OldCrowReserve (undecided)
