Agalloch Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Bought this bottle once 3 years ago and today I paid the same exact amount that I did back then. Looking foward to having this again. Looks like Ill have to kill off a bottle first_ too many bottles open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tip of my hat to you.) Well this is a conundrum (sort of). Everyone here is used to the 1-12 batches. Do we retroactively call them all by their new designations? That might make a lot of heads hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk OldFitz, I tried the JB DO at the distillery tour and it was pretty good. Actually one of the ones I liked that had the JB label on it. I was thinking of adding it to my stash but when I saw the WR DO on sale yesterday at Liquor Barn I decided to go ahead and get it. I may add the JB at a later date.

Hope you enjoy it! I wouldn't describe it as "bourbony", but it was damn good! I just thought I'd picked up citrus in a bourbon before, but this one is straight up musty orange.

Just because they want to use (what in my opinion) is an asinine labeling system doesn't mean that.... I mean, why the hell can't they just go with the year, then the batch? You know, something simply clear and understandable. With my limited cognitive ability, I'd even clearly understand batch 2017-01, 02, etc. As for me, I'll just continue to call it ECBP (insert proof here)!

First number represents the month last two numbers are the year. B515 is 2nd batch bottled May 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I broke down and grabbed a 1.75 of 12 on the back Elijah Craig. It was a surprise find while wine shoppingSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravensfire Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Stopped by at out of state store while driving to grandmothers house and grabbed some Buffalo Trace, VOB 6 year and HH BIB white label. Nothing really expensive in the store that I couldn't get local, so was happy with those three. The BT was for my brother-in-law and I to split after moving furniture all day. The others are for me! The real fun part is the Beam decanters we found in the attic. Empty, but some are nice. Plus a bottle from the 40's or 50's that I'll post later tomorrow for some help. Good but bittersweet day.Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Did a little shopping yesterday and brought these guys home. This is the second place I've seen recently with a 9yr pick of KC since the age statement was dropped. Worth a shot at $29 I suppose. Found the older EWSB in Muncie...several 2004 left on the shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) ^^^Those are the Elijah Craig Barrel Selects that are a gift shop only item 125 proof and supposed to be 8 yrs old but I didn't notice the age statement. They are 200ml bottles that everyone are calling "grenades" Pretty good juice - very fruit forward with the proof coming in behind it. I finished one off while I was there because my sister-in-law like the bottle and wanted the empty Edited March 13, 2017 by Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Me too - I was there in January and they didn't have them. I have family who lives in B'town so they were able to get these for me and full disclosure some are for other Bourbonites who live around me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I picked up bottles of BT, RittBiB, and, out of curiosity, EWBiB. The EW is drinkable good but more of a mixer than a sipper to my taste buds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
