    Don't expect to find it any cheaper in ATH. Not my usual stop but I saw it for $62 yesterday. I was thinking the last bottle I purchased was closer to $45.

    Re: What is your go-to older bourbon now that Elijah Craig 18-year is gone?

    I'm new to bourbon and just starting a collection. When I saw that EC18 would cease production, I ran to my llc to pick up the last bottle (I had seen it there one week earlier). I got my bottle for $46. It had more than its fair share of dust on it.

    Here is HH's press release for the EC20 replacing EC18. http://www.heavenhill.com/detail/140

    God Bless my liquor store - when an item is discontinued, they discount it to make it go away [instead of raising the price because it's going away]. 3 bottles <$40/ea

    Lucky. I think my store still has it. After it's slapped with the "Australian" tax, it's around $135. I'll buy one spare bottle for the bunker.

    I know a store in Dallas that likely .still has a bottle. I think I might just go bunker it and see how many more he has.

    Here is San Diego Costco had about a case on the shelves two months ago. The asterik (as in we are clearing this out) appeared and they lowered the price to 29.97. I should have bought more than one. No more left. Darn!!

    Ah man, if it released in May/June then Texas isn't going to get it . It said 36 states....but didn't mention the states.
