Good review thanks!  I haven't touched any of my 2021 PLPC boxes yet.  Still working through he 2016 box which is awesome.  How was the Eagle Rare as a pairing with the PLPC?  Last fall Was in Savanah, Georgia and stoped into this little hole in a wall liquor store about 30 minutes away and was able to buy 2 bottles of ER 10 year for $39 each - score!

It’s pretty good with the brown sugar notes in the Eagle Rare, this pairing brought out quite the sweetness in both. 

Nice score on the ER for $39. Over here, I can always just get it for about that same price. It’s kind of weird with the allocated stuff over here in Europe, I think not enough people chase bourbon. The stuff that makes it over here is usually just available, but not every offering in the line. For example, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare are perpetually available for MSRP. But you won’t see Elmer T. Lee or Rock Hill Farms here (bummer). Also the really special stuff like BTAC is just as expensive as on the US secondary market, if any even makes it over here.
On the other hand, I picked up a bottle of Weller 12 yesterday for €90 (just under $100).

Good score on the Weller 12 - haven't seen that in years in Florida.

Smoked a few from a RAT SEP 21 cab with similar results.   The "burnt sugar" note is spot on :)

Great review! 

I have that same box code and agree 👍

Yeah it’s quite distinct, I guess it’s what turns into caramel when left to age for longer. But man, how approachable they are already compared to the other cabs I’ve had (2017 and older)
