MOwhisky4me Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Really digging Larceny since I cracked this bottle open this past weekend. So luscious and full for a reasonably priced wheater. Great neat or over ice or even with just a touch of water if I'm in the mood to simply drink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 ^I really need to try me some of that but the only place up here I have ever seen it was charging $10 over state min pricing so I didn't want to fork out $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Seriously man, it's more than worth it at that price. Get over your frugality and buy it already. It's one of the finest bourbons you will ever taste and it's only freaking $60. Just do it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 meh, I just dropped $800+ on 30 bottles and have 40+ bottles bunkered... I think it is time to be frugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I don't buy it! If it was at state minimum, you'd have it by now. You're allowing the state to dictate to you how much this should be worth (which is arbitrary, what do they know?) and I and many others are telling you it's worth it at $60. Now I hear ya given how much you just spent, but it's $10 you are quibbling about. Buy it and you will thank us later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 ok, lol you win. you just cost me $60 more dollars after spending $80 today on local bourbon I didn't need. You should have skipped the local.......the ECBP will destroy it in a sbs. Now I understand rooting for your local and wanting to support them (I've done it too), but most of the craft distillers have a long way to go. Pour that ECBP, let it sit for a spell so some of the alcohol evaporates, and have a little water ready to add some drops as needed, and slip into nirvana.

kcgumbohead Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Last night was a SBS of GBS OBSK and OESO, fine examples of each recipe. Its been awhile since I have had them together and highlights just how varied and how damn good those 4R barrel proofers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 $60 for ECBP is definitely worth it. A fantastic bourbon. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 You guys have shamed me into it, congrats. You know it will cost me more than $60 though, cuz I can't just buy one bottle when I hit a liquor store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDSmith619 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Enjoyed some HM store select, Beam BIB and finished with Dant last night.Ready for the weekend, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Can't even get a sniff of ECBP in KY (unless you are in the store when it comes in off the truck). 23 (three bottle) cases distributed in the last go...:smiley_acbt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 As crazy as this seems, there was a time when I passed on such favorites as VWFRR or Weller Centennial or GTS or WLW if it was 2-3 dollars over the state minimum. How foolish does that seem today?Yesterday I paid minimum +10% for a CEHT BS and was happy to do so. Times and personal standards change. Just that simple.

fozzy71 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I think I was remembering wrong. No ECBP at the store and in the spot I recalled it was a handle of EC12 with the $60 label on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Targeting a low-fill mingle of CEHT BP and ND BDL. One of my favorite mingles, although not chasing CEHT BP down for it. May open up my last ND BDL and experiment with similar mingles (maybe Bookers, ECBP, etc). The BDL brings the proof of this particular mingle down to 107, and adds just enough of that ND butterscotchy goodness, along with improving the mouthfeel.

Amhazed Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Eagle Rare tonight. The more I pour this the more I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km1589 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Started the night by opening my ECBP 128 to celebrate my birthday. Wow can't believe I held out so long to open it. Really good stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Too hot today/tomorrow (all next week from the looks of it) for anything neat out of the cabinet so I will be drinking from the fridge tonight where I have a big bottle of FC103 and a half empty 200ml of both OGDBIB and WT101, Started out with a pour of WT101 and just realized it is the last I have on hand of that so kicking myself for not grabbing a replacement earlier today. Luckily that is everywhere so I will grab one tomorrow probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhalter Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks to a fellow SBer (a relatively new one I might add) Im now sipping an Old Heaven Hill BIB. I like it marginally more than Dant and EWBIB. Having said that, Dand and EWBIB are available here, and for a nice price, so Ill keep drinking them.

Hop Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Sharing with some friends over tonight for a neighborhood BBQ had some WFE, OESK BP, WLW 2014, then some scotch Kirkland 18yr and Hibiki12. Good night with good friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trufunk Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Made my first Manhattans with Old Forrester 100 signature tonight. ..now drinking neat ..while watching Dark Night rises with my son and a friend. ...its a good night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Opened up the Beam Distillers Masterpiece last night. Best whiskey I have tasted so far in 2015. An assault on every sense (and even bigger assault on my wallet...). Packaging, color of whiskey, nose, flavor, finish, everything...fabulous. For the price, would I rather have a case of VOB BIB? No. Not even 2 cases. Or, 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wow Joe I don't ever recall you being so enthusiastic before and I don't recall any other posts on this bottle.Is this new or is it a bottle I have just overlooked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 TT, this is something that Beam does from time to time and this one has been out for maybe a year now? (Can't remember). It retails for $200 in a VERY attractive package but the cost is an obvious deterrent which is why we don't see anyone talking about it........until now.I remember being surprised a couple weeks ago when Joe posted this in the purchase thread and have been patiently awaiting his post here.

T Comp Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wow Joe I don't ever recall you being so enthusiastic before and I don't recall any other posts on this bottle.Is this new or is it a bottle I have just overlooked?Actually been out since 2013 TT. For what it's worth, it was in my top shelf of many great pours I had at the WhiskyFest in Chicago this spring. The $200 price tag though...but what Joe says is also true.
