c2walker Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ECBP. I guess the new batch came in? Lots of bottles in DC, at least for a few hours.137 proof? If so, second batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nothing spectacular but, thanks to a heads up from my buddy, Jackinbox, I found Blanton's for $43.99 and FRSB for $29.99 at Meijer. I couldn't pass those up.Nice price on the Blanton's. A little more than I would normally spend but I like it and I find guests really like it.

Wryguy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Stopped at Billy's in Sunderland, MA, shot the breeze with Bill the owner, and spotted this on the top shelf. Always a nice find waiting for me in there. Lucky Friday! Now home to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyOldKyDram Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nice find!I picked up a few of these beauties this afternoon.How is it that a 15 yr barrel proof EC12 isn't half as dark as the ECBS? Bet it's damned fine stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutton Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 That's not the current, NAS, 80 proof stuff is it? If so, I'm curious what your tasting notes are. It's one of the few bourbons that's technically a bit cheaper than EWB out here ($13 for 1.75L vs $15).*And of course, another Barton related product... yet we have no VOB, dammit.

GaryT Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Picked up 3 375mL of EW BIB green label with the nifty cabin on the label. It is growing on me, and figure at $6 a piece - it is a bargain either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBancroft Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It appears that Balcones recently made it's way up to Michigan and the store I was at had the Baby Blue, Brimstone and Single Malt. Walked out with a bottle of Baby Blue and looking forward to giving it a taste this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the Single Malt, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like smokey whiskey, then get the Brimstone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBottle Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 You should not have passed up a bottle of single malt. If you like smokey whiskey, then get the Brimstone too.Or just get a bottle of Lagavulin 16 and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'd go with the Lag as well, no point in buying a copy when you can get the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmark Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'd go with the Lag as well, no point in buying a copy when you can get the original.You've obviously never had Brimstone. Lagavulin is great peated single malt whisky, but Brimstone is a distillate (not grain) infused with smoke from Texas scrub oak. It's quite unique and very good!

smokinjoe Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 How is it that a 15 yr barrel proof EC12 isn't half as dark as the ECBS? Bet it's damned fine stuff though.Crazy, isn't it? I've seen a few barrel proof bourbons over the years, and I don't recall anything as dark as the regular release ECBP. You're right on our selection. It is exceptional. Tight up front as would be expected with its age, but literally explodes with a combo of sweetness and spice with a drop of water and a few minutes sitting in the glass. :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
