The consensus among bourbon enthusiasts here in the states is that ECBP have fallen off since they removed the 12 year age statement, the standout being the C923 release. They've been getting younger, generally, but are still good. It's a little like picking your favorite of your children; you love them all, but one always stands out.
The Pirate bottles also came from the older aged seasoned barrels in comparison to the newer batches

I know exactly what you mean, thanks for dropping in my friend....
I’ve had C920, C923 and seven others and C920 is the winner for me.
I've never had the EC barrel proof as I think it's over priced in the UK. I've have the small batch and I agree with you on the cherry flavour.
Alan, fantastic H2H. Have never seen a Pirate bottle live. And almost HAZMAT to boot. Agreed all ECBP are GREAT! Thanks for that tasting!! CHEERS!
Its an awesome bottle Dj id love to have more access to these bottles...😜
@@thewhiskyfriend Yeah, hear ya!! Would love to get so many scotch we never see here or not have to pay over $60 to ship a bottle.
Thanks for yet another head to head Alan.
As I'm not a fan, I'll trust your verdict.
Slàinte mhath
