fanostra Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 While looking for the latest release of ECBP, I found a cache of 1.75 liter Elijah Craig Small Batch 12 Year (12 on the back, not the front) at one of my frequent stops. $59.99 each so grabbed one even though its not one of my favorites. Fear that someday I'll enjoy it more than I do now and I'll have gone through my stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never gone further back than maybe 2004 or 2005 vintage on these. How can you tell which ones are beam, BF, etc.? Taste? Prefire and post fire are easy based on dates I assume... Just noticed the difference between "Distilled in Kentucky, bottled by EW" and "Distilled and Bottled by EW" but how do you know the source of distilled in Ky between Beam, BF, and New Bernheim prior to HH acquisition?

DROB Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 New label ECBP and a High West Double Rye private selection for Berns Steakhouse that was finished in Quaddy Muscat barrels for 2 years. Supposedly they only did one Barrel of it as a special release just for Berns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Congratulations on the promotion. You planning on sampling one of each tonight? [emoji33]Thanks both of you! I have already sampled each new barrel and they are all very good. The 60%is excellent. The 11 is great in a different way, the 56% had a slight kick, the 50.9% tasted like cherries, raisins and maple syrup to finish. I can't remember the 52%at this point.Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Passed on a bottle of 1792 SB earlier this week, tonight I decided that I could pass no longer. A small reward for having to deal with and replace our refrigerator this evening. Needless to say, the credit card is now on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's documentation out there, but a long story short, anything before Nov. '96 is pre fire, '97 Jim Beam produced for them, '98 and '99 Brown Forman did until they could get the new Bernheim up to production in '00. Chuck Cowdery did a big write up on it.

I've got one bottle that we bottled at the JB Distillery tour, which I haven't opened and two store selections that are 12+ and 13 yr. 9 mos. Lots of flavor and I really like it. Let us know what you think after partaking of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, the first "N" has the right foreleg going backwards and the rear leg going forwards (around the turn). The second "N" has both right legs going backwards in a full gallop to the finish. They are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your Aunt's service All great pickups If you've never had it the Belle Meade will be one you really like - it says Tennessee Bourbon but it's sourced likely from MGP but I've had several 9 yr SB's of it and have never been disappointed, the JJ Bowman is great as well IMHO and of course you already know the Blanton's - glad you were able to load up.
