I have a bottle of ECSB but can't find a bottle of ECBP anywhere, then I get on here and have to read about how much you guys like it. Give me a break here.

OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I've picked up a couple bottles at Kroger in Versailles.They are probably long gone by now. They didn't stay on shelves long in Lexington.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Wow... saw several still on the shelf here on Thursday but the market isn't as strong...hard to even find a LS with a decent bourbon selection around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbonmakesmepoop Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 ''Twas a good day. Stumbled across two bottles of the new ECBP A??? Whatever you call it, for $55 each. when I got home I took the bag inside and noticed the bag was wet. one of the bottles was leaking slightly from the cork while it was laying on its side on the way home in my truck. I guess that one will be opened first. sure wish they would have redesigned that cork a little better. can't complain though, lucky to find a couple of bottles. any of you Texans out there, it has finally made it here.

El Vino Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Batch 9 with a cube after weeding for an hour. My wife is out working an open house, so just me and the pup. The ice helps tame this and brings out some additional flavor. Need to pace myself, The Masters won't finish until dinner time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Finally got a bottle Friday at our local Kroger Wine & Spirits. $60.49. 127 proof. Puts some hair on your chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golferpimp1 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Any clue when the new batch (i.e. after the recent 127 proof) will be out??Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Just saw on Reddit that a new batch of ECBP has been announced. It's being called B517 and comes in at 124.4 proof. Let the speculation begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisiana Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Most ECBP in the past had ranged from (135-140 +or-). 124.4 is the lowest yet. Unless someone here knows of any barrel proof gift shop releases from the past that were lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless someone here knows of any barrel proof gift shop releases from the past that were lower? Can't speak to every gift shop ECBP proof. I have one that is 129.7 proof. Even though these first two batches in the new style bottle have been the lowest barrel proof of the series (Batch 7 was 128 proof) I don't know if we can say this a trend quite yet.

Golferpimp1 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm intrigued by your second sentence. Just making an observation, or more to your statement?Joe don't read too much into it. Just noticing the it went from 139.4 to 136 to 126 to 124.4.....and reviews have noted the 126 was good but certainly thinner than the previous few versions. More than anything just interesting to note. I have tried the 139.4 and 136 and they are certainly flavor bombs with a thick mouthfeel to me. I have yet to crack one of my 126 yet to try that myself.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt lucky to get an extra bottle even tho it had jumped to $85 at the local I found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I experimented between cutting it to the same proof once with regular EC12 and once with spring water, and I liked it better cut with spring water myself. Of course that takes more tedious measuring.

Of course that takes more tedious measuring. I'm the same way, prefer it with water over EC (and I always do cut it with water.) But I don't even buy regular EC anymore - if I want it I just cut ECBP down to 94 proof. Edited May 12, 2017 by dcbt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy, amg, Your comment reminded me of a blast from the past. https://whiskeylately.com/bourbon/elijah-craig-12-blend/ He goes at the EC12 vs. water choices a bit systematically. Salud.
