Stop in for a cup of coffee
Alright the results are in! While the EC small batch is one of my go to daily drivers, at a mere 94 proof it simply tasted washed out in comparison to the heavy hitters at 100 plus proof. In no way does this diminish the fact that it is most excellent and still yummy. The KC single barrel at 120 proof literally had nothing to offer, it tasted hollow? So then it was a death match for the two remaining KC 9s. The regular 9 coming in at an even 100 proof was just plain yummy, great nose and mellow. The KC 9 single barrel reserve at 120 proof was actually smoother than the “regular9” I fully realize that makes no sense but clearly the winner by a sizable margin. How did TMM already know that? And my tasting partner agrees, she says two dew claws up for the 9 single barrel reserve!
