humchan2k Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Does anyone know if this is going to be an ongoing release, or will they end the run soon, now that EC12 is due to no longer be EC12? I would think they'd cut out the barrel proof stuff first before killing the general release, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH has said this will allow them to make ECBP "a little more available" and even restart the store barrel pick program although with what is likely to be younger barrels. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Can certainly be good single barrels available that are less than 12yo. The ECBP will be a twice a year release going forward I believe.

JoeTerp Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It's already almost gone in VA (and it seems like they either got less than they did with Batch 9, or are releasing it in stages). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisiana Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Haven't seen Batch #10 yet. Finally acquired a few Batch #9's recently. I have multiples of #5, #6, #8, & #9. They're all really good. Unless anything changes I will always buy these! Edited February 7, 2016 by Louisiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I don't even pay attention to what batch I'm drinking anymore because they are all really good and really close to each other in profile and quality. If it's ECBP, it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Nut Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have enjoyed all batches of ECBP I've had, and thought them to all be in the same ballpark, except one, but only slightly. The 70.1% ECBP Hazmat was my favorite, but again, I'll take any ECBP I can find. Amazing neat (in small sips), watered down slightly, over ice, or in a cocktail. I would love to do a SBS on the various batches, but it's hard to come by, and I don't have much opportunity to open multiples of ECBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccleve23 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I love this stuff. I just finished my 128 proof last weekend. Time to pull out another one soon. This will be my fifth batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bin31z Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Is it just me or does the cork dry up and get loose in the bottle? I have a couple of these open and every cork fits very loosely. If it turn it upside down, it leaks. What's the deal with these huge corks?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like synthetic corks, so far they are the only caps I have not had leak on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsNBourbon Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 yup, same issue here, most of my EC12 corks have eventually come loose. my ECBP one came loose too, so I just replaced it with an EC12 one that I had just finished off and the cork was ok.
