So, about this stuff I really can't say. That is the thing about limited releases: on top of different folks, different strokes, you've also got an inconsistent product. Perhaps more than a little inconsistent. I know I've had some installments of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection that, while still likable, were far apart.Rich Thomashttp://whiskeyreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-86288068121891439962014-03-11T11:34:13.693-07:002014-03-11T11:34:13.693-07:00It seems there must be some real variation in the ...It seems there must be some real variation in the batches. The bottle I have from the second bottling was excellent to me. Not a burnt hair to be found! But the multiple reports of this being bad seem too frequent to be accounted for by the variance among a few palates. I can only take solace in the fact that I like the one I have and in the end that is all one can really rely on!tanstaafl2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02983632392962001316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-68870285034988654282014-03-10T11:19:30.452-07:002014-03-10T11:19:30.452-07:00IMO batch 2 was just okay.

But I'm not wild about standard AE bourbon either, so not terribly rational to have gambled on cask strength improvement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-14564560889585925982014-03-10T10:17:33.263-07:002014-03-10T10:17:33.263-07:00The release parties were for anyone who bought a b...The release parties were for anyone who bought a bottle. The ticket came in the wooden box with the bottle. Also, you MUST have been drinking something totally different than what I had. (As you mentioned, maybe another batch.) After tasting mine all I could think was that they shouldn't water down the regular version. Unlike the standard release, which I find too mild, the CS was rich and wonderful. Lots of caramel leading into wood and then dark fruits. I wish that I had an open one to send you another sample from.
