Glad you were able to find a bottle!

I actually ended up with a bottle from each batch, another member sympathetic to my problem brought me a bottle from batch 2.

Even better!

Side-by-side notes?

I am on the waiting list at my primary store. Another store (very large chain) told me that first time around they only got 6 bottles for 20 stores. :frown:

Why is it that every time I see a fresh post in this thread, I get an urge for a pour of ECBP? Doesn't happen with any other expression except this one. Geez.

Sippin on a little of this tonight. Anybody else get seriously burnt sugar when they taste? It isn't bitter at all but it goes beyond the typical caramelized sugar that you get on creme brule and into the realm of truly burnt. I really think this stuff came from heavily charred barrels.

I opened my bottle of 137 last night. I get burnt sugar but in the best way possible. Almost like an extremely dark caramel. Lots of Cherry and Nugget as well.

I agree with the burnt sugar comment (only speaking for my 134 though) as it is in the most positive way without being bitter or acrid. There is another review floating about in comparison to GTS Jr that really draws out the quality of this ECBP. His review is not kind on the finish of the ECBP but I do not think I agree. I am going to sample some more tonight and see if I can taste the same notes.

It is absolutely great to see a BP, high quality, bourbon with known origin at this price point. Could it be considered the anti-thesis or the planned scarcity surrounding some of the NDP offerings?

Geez I've got to find a bottle of this! Y'all are driving me to jealousy with all of the positive reviews.

Good luck, I can tell you with 100% certainty that there is none in the Smyrna, Vinings, Marietta, North Atlanta area....

I'm picturing you with a wall sized map, coloring each county as you explore.....

If I didn't have wicked google maps skills that is exactly how I would do it.

I can see it now, Georgia Bourbon Society in their secret underground bunkered headquarters, one wall covered by an area map . . .

When I do see it I guess it will have to be a multi bottle purchase with taste unknown.

I would strongly recommend. I left 2 bottles on the shelf not too far from home and am considering going back to grab them. I think I may wait for batch 2 though.

I would grab it simply because it would make excellent Bourbon to Barter with. Thats a lie, I would drink it...

I keep thinking there is none to be had around . . . and then read posts a day or two later about it turning up in Cumming, or Kennesaw, or Smyrna . . . :hot:

Then . . . I look in the cabinet to see at least one behind my open one, and feel a sense of relief :o

What about the Rome area TT (since you are in NW Ga.?) That's one place I used to hit up for booze when I lived in Ala.
