Mardbrown Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Word here in Virginia is that our state (ABC controlled) got 15 cases. They went fast!! None were left/available after a few days earlier this week. I managed to get a case, and gave a few to buddies here. I must say, I'm an EHT fan, but this one was bold and different. Very tasty. And the wooden box was pretty cool to get too I'll either save the extra bottles for my collection, or trade one off. Well worth the $68/ea...And Mardbrown, I loved your taste review. Excellent.. My palate is still developing, so I'm not the best at reviews. I had a hardywood earlier, so my tastes are off a bit anyway Yes sir. I was told the state got 90 bottles. I'm working on trying to get a wooden case from my store. I got 3 bottles and am very happy about it. It is delicious. I'm having a hardywood bourbon sidamo stout right this very minute.

jtlcville Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Cool. If I hear of anything interesting going on around here (a few of us have a watch group that covers this area, Shen Valley, and up to WVa and MD), I'll be glad to let you know. I'm transitioning (slowly) from double IPAs and bourbon to (hopefully) more full-time bourbon for various reasons.. I'm guessing we see alot of the same stuff in our stores though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as wine, 12 bottles? I thought maybe for Bourbon, it was 3 bottles in a case. Reason being, I recall earlier in the year hunting for Pappy and I stumbled on a retailer that had a bunch in the back room. They were 3 bottles to a white box.

Top shelf stuff generally seems to be 3 to a case, and the farther down the shelf you go it seems the more bottles to a case there are (6-12). I haven't seen any Cured Oak yet, but I'd guess these are 3 to a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Cured Oak, looks like 6 to a case.Turns out, only 711 cases were produced. (Comes from reddit - BT bottling line worker).Must find a bottle ASAP.

elmossle Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I heard that one chain in KY was only getting 3 bottles for ALL of their stores. Unsure if that is fact or fiction, but not good for finding any nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtlcville Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) 6 per case with this bourbon. Or at least that's true with this stuff (and the other cases I've seen)..And I'm not sure I'd trade a case (6) of CuredOak for a case of pappy (3).. I'd trade 2 of these for a pappy 23 maybe...Just my opinion.. Edited March 29, 2015 by jtlcville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaminiom Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It is 6 per case, per Michigan's book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardbrown Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 My case of 6...[ATTACH=CONFIG]20519[/ATTACH]I love that case. And for some odd reason I really want one. But I know it will be one of those things that ends up collecting dust for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtlcville Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Probably one of the closed bourbon facebook groups (bourbon exchange, etc). If you guys lived closer, I'd have you all over to try some of this stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtlcville Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yea I have a 9 yr old son, and thought he might like it (that box), but he hardly noticed it.. BT is selling the boxes on their on-line gift store for $100 now too.. I'd trade that box for a good bottle probably, if down the road somebody offered Right now, I've stashed 3 bottles in it in hopes that I forget about them for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm holding out hope but based on what I'm reading here, I'm a week behind on the VA allocation. I was focused on tracking down the Small Batch, I overlooked this release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybogey Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 So I just got off the phone with a major retailer in NJ who informed me that his bottles of Cured Oak were recalled. Reason - the label was never registered with the state liquor authority. He got 6 bottles, sold 3 and distributor came back to pick up the remaining 3. He says he gets them back on May 1st.He also mentioned that his waiting list for 400 deep. Ugh.My goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_timer Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not sure where you are, but the Houston area seems to receive inventory first for the big chains. Hoping to stubble across a bottle, but seems bleak with the numbers being reported :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBoldBully Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm in Houston also. Spec's Smith street wasn't even aware of it (or he was lying to me), and the distributor for EHT wasn't in the store to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
