petrel800 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Ran into an Elijah Craig 18 today, not sure why I grabbed it other than the fact I may never see it again and it was a Bourbon I wanted to try again. First couple experiences weren't spectacular. This bottle shows it was barreled 5-22-90' so I'd guess it was bottled late '08 early '09. Wish I could have some luck like today with an EC Barrel Proof . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerlam92 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Fell to temptation and got the Michter's SB 10 year and Willet 10 bourbon BP, then a PVW Lot b. Lot B is so much more expensive than I last buy in 09 but just 3 cent less than my max. I can't believe it is now $89.97. This is outrageous and the most I will pay for it. I love PVW, but I rather have two ECBP for this LotB. Lucky I have some in my bunker because this price is not making sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I think Lot B is swell and all, but I'd probably pass at anything over $60. But we each have our weaknesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black mamba Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Agreed. I got a Lot B last year for just $46, so . . . . over $60, I'm out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Nothing close to Tuesday and Wednesday's buys but I did get a bottle of Evan Williams White Label Bottled In Bond today.I do not like when people add cost to the equation when analyzing a bourbon but I must confess, at $14.95 a bottle this EW WL BIB is at the top of the list.

hectic1 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So where on Earth did you get those two?As far as I am concerned the 1-29-92's are the best EC 18's ever, they have a great blackberry vibe in them. I really like them too Oscar...there is a store that I drive by every now and then that did a private barrel of it...fantastic juice...I grab a couple every time I'm there. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, these beat out the 1/29/92s, but 1992 was a great year for distillation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyFriedChicken Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Purchased a bottle of VWFR Rye today from a fellow SBer here. That makes the family complete now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Used a store credit to buy a Bulleit 10, because I'm such a Four Roses fanboy and I like the packaging. The text on the sides of the box are easily worth the premium. And I haven't even gotten to the sheet inside the box yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have been to KY several times but this is my first visit to buy bourbon. We are visiting relatives. I had never met old granddad but apparently he is 114! Anyway, first, props to MyOldKyDram, who suggested Red Dot in Frankfort. I really appreciated the tip. It is an awesome store. The selection is at least 5 times what I can find at my normal liquor store in Brownsburg, IN. The prices were comparable on brands that I can get back home so I thought that the prices were reasonable.I ended up purchasing VOBBIBOWA 107LarcenyAAA10OGD 114That was my initial purchase. I plan to visit another local store or two while in town. If I don't find anything that I like, then I know where to go before I leave town.I am not sure what I am looking for but wouldn't mind finding some ECBP or maybe EC18. I am probably looking for a bottle in the $40-50 range and then a few cheaper bottles. They have HHBIB Gold and HH 6-year BIB, although I am not certain if they would be redundant.I was very happy with the Larceny find. They had it in Indiana earlier in the year but I couldn't find any bottles with the rebate form. I ended up with two $10 rebate forms on my bottle. Yes, by accident. I noticed that later. So, that bottle will end up only being $15. Interestingly, I noticed some Ancient Age bottles with $3 rebate forms but not the AAA10.Is ECBP pretty difficult to find? I realize EC18 is.

HighInTheMtns Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Probably the only place you'll find ECBP in Kentucky is at Heaven Hill in Bardstown. It's not the same as the retail bottle - they have bottlings of various proofs available. It is more expensive than the retail bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
