That' sad Trout.
I cracked open and tasted the Elijah 18, the Little Book Chapter 3, and the Maker's RC6 tonight.
The Maker's RC6 was good, and unlike any other Maker's I've ever had. Quite a bit of fruit and spice, with a really long but pleasant finish.
The Little Book Ch 3 was awesome, super fruit forward, both in the nose and and taste. The finish was smooth but quite a bit shorter. My wife and I really liked it.
The EC18 is something of an enigma. I was at first worried about buying it because all of the reviews claimed it was solid oak. Nothing could be further from the truth. As the glass sat out with lots of nosing and small sips, it went from vanilla, to fruit, to butterscotch, to like a kind of vanilla / chocolate pudding maybe crem brule, then back to fruit, then back to vanilla. This is one to savor, the flavor profile keeps changing, and I never once got oak. There was a charred wood smell briefly, before going back to vanilla. I like it, great for sipping when you have time to appreciate it.
