My uncle loves Elijah Craig, it is his drink.

Two years ago he helped my father (his brother) out quite a bit so my dad bucked up and found him a bottle of 23yo. Not bad huh? While on vacation with my family last week my Uncle, who lives in Florida, drove up to see everyone and brought his bottle of 23 with him to share with my father and I.

Now my father hates Bourbon, he is single malt scotch all the way but I love the stuff and was eager to get my hands on some EC23. While my uncle is pouring and pontificating about the smoothness and body and flavor he sneaks in "and that is why I cut it." WAHT . Yes folks he cut his Elijah Craig 23 with some Elijah Craig 12 !

My uncle, master distiller that he is cut it to a ratio of four parts 23 to every one part 12 and claims it was better....I wouldn't know. I've never had the stuff. Is it just me, or should this be a crime?
