Elijah Craig Barrel Proof

[P&MLiquorsEric]

When is the last time one of my fellow Kentuckians have seen this on the shelf? Excluding the gift shop.

[flahute]

Still amazing to me that we still have this sitting on the shelf in Seattle where anything desirable gets snapped up as fast it shows up. And it's not marked up either - $49 sticker price.

I've never seen it on a shelf. I have procured a couple of bottles, but never, ever off the shelf in Ky.

[mbroo5880i]

Grabbed one today from a top secret source for $42.99. Batch 5.

Should I pick up a bottle?

Wait.....you don't have this one already and/or haven't tried it yet? (This does not not compute). If true, then yes, pick up a bottle stat.

Same in Boise, although the boom doesn't seem to be too crazy around here. We got a large shipment of batch 4 back in the spring and there is still plenty sitting around for $45.

It only took us 125 pages to determine IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE! :slappin:

It doesn't sit around on the shelf here, but it does hit the shelves. I've picked up 9 or 10 of them at retail. Mostly batch 1 and 2. There was no way they were going to keep up the standard they set with the first batch, that stuff was the best value in the world in 2013.

Truth, spot on and nailed it!

Yep!!!

HH really nailed this with product, quality, and price.

Facebook rumors indicate that there may be a 6th dump @ 140.2 proof

[HD 335]

That proof is more in line with what I expected these releases would be at. Not that 132-137 isn't high, but I've seen a number of pictures of EC barrel samples at ~150 proof. Of course, I'm not sure how drinkable they are at that proof.

[BillP]

Truth, spot on and nailed it!

Completely agree. It's superb!

[KyleCBreese]

I picked up a bottle today, 140.2 proof.

[SLOandSteady]

I also saw a bottle of ECBP in the store with 140.2 proof. Officially Batch #6?

Yep, none of the other batches have hit 140.

[NickSmithIsDead]

Has anyone seen Batch 6 in Michigan yet? I've called around to a few places, but I'm trying not to be too much of a pain without knowing for sure that it's around.

[Ravensfire]

Had a pour of batch 3 out last night with my wife celebrating our 2 year anniversary. Such lovely stuff with magnificent color. Alas, at $20 for 1.5 oz (EHT BP was cheaper!), may be my last for a bit. My two bottles are packed away in storage as we sell our house.
