MauiSon Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) I'm thinking we may not see it at all in Hawaii. I will try and bunker some on the mainland - if it sticks around long enough for my procurement minions to react. On the other hand, Heaven Hill will really see higher profit on this than the standard EC12, so if it sells well they'll probably keep it comin'.

mosugoji64 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We were in KY over the weekend and didn't see it anywhere. Hopefully, it will start popping up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainWhip Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I had what appears to be the gift shop version (didn't have new label) this past weekend and really enjoyed it... I'm looking forward to picking up a few bottles of this once its available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is the release of the barrel proof the reason I can't find EC12 on the shelf at any of the stores I go to in Ohio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightwhiskeyruffneck Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Seen this juice at the HH distillery gift shop the other day, but passed on it for $75. Too bad because i really wanted to try it-I f'n love HH whiskey!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatsby Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've been on the lookout for this stuff too. Was planning on stopping by one of my regular stores on my way home from work to inquire if they know when they'll get some. I had the EC18 year at a bar this weekend and thought it was very good. I'm really looking forward to trying the barrel proof 12 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P&MLiquorsEric Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi guys, I own a liquor store in Elizabethtown, KY. I have been lurking here for quite some time and finally decided to join and add some insight.I would not expect to see cases and cases of this stuff in every store. I have been bugging my HH rep about this release for some time after trying the gift shop version. They had a meeting about this last week. He said stock and placement will be similar to the Parkers Heritage line. Your mileage in other states may vary but around here the Parkers flies off the shelf (if it even makes it to the shelf).3 pack cases is the first clue and the fact that HH has a rough time keeping up with demand of regular EC12 was the second. If they had a ton of it, they would sell it in 6 or 12 packs. I hope this is the not the case but the info from this rep has been very good in the past.

MyOldKyDram Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Had no problem finding PHC on shelves here last go around, so I'll take similar luck with this release. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barclay Beach Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The proof, the price, the profile... Being a regular EC12 drinker it all sounds good to be true. But if the juice proves legit, I'll be shopping for cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P&MLiquorsEric Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 This should be into distribution in kentucky next week. I just got one case (3 pack) today. Look for it to be about $45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Sweet! I heard next week as well. Also heard VERY limited. Wonder if anyone here did get it today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Just the one 3 pack? So, you got two available, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgins Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have been making inquiries over the past week that will hopefully pay off. Should this thread be relocated to the Premium/Specialty Bourbon section now that we're discussing specific places it will be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P&MLiquorsEric Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Sweet! I heard next week as well. Also heard VERY limited. Wonder if anyone here did get it today...If they get a friday SWS delivery then they should have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P&MLiquorsEric Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 134.2 proof with no age statement on bottle. Shelf Talker in box does refer to it being 12 years old but absolutely no mention on bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Not even on the back label? HH said that it had been moved there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P&MLiquorsEric Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Upon further examination. It is on the back label in the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourbonandbacon Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Mods, wondering if we could potentially move this thread to the premium bottlings section to keep the lurkers uninformed about it, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourserker Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I think I already know the answer, but any chance any of this makes it into VA? I'm not a huge EC12 fan, but I'm sucker for any barrel proof and especially at that price. Plus, I'm really curious how "unadulterated" EC12 tastes.
