About this episode
In this episode, Bob and Dan discuss their recent experiences with allocated bourbons, focusing on the CYPB and EH Taylor Barrel Proof varieties. They share tasting notes, flavor profiles, and their excitement for future distillery visits, providing insights into the bourbon allocation process and the nuances of different bourbons. Takeaways It's been a busy but very good week for bourbon drops. CYPB is a favorite for its sweet profile and smoothness. Barrel proof bourbons offer a different experience with higher proof. Tasting notes reveal a range of flavors from sweet to charred. The bourbon allocation process can be unpredictable and competitive. Future plans include visits to distilleries and tasting old dusty bottles. The nose of a bourbon can sometimes be more appealing than the palate. Flavor profiles can develop and change as the bourbon opens up. CYPB may be in limited supply, making it a sought-after bottle. Engaging with distilleries enhances the bourbon experience. Sound bites "CYPB is one of my favorites." "This has a great nose on it." "That is super sweet. Super thick."
