marshbound Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Had 15 minutes before my eye appointment Thursday so I stopped in the liquor store nearby, money burning a hole in my pocket so, having not found what I really was looking for, settled on a 2009 EWSB. Barreled 7-30-09, barrel 235, Bottled 12-21-16, so just under 7.5 years old. 86 proof, soft and easy drinking but nothing memorable and for $27 I would look elsewhere next time.

I don't know why. It is $53 at my local place, and $47 at the Wine and Cheese Place.Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobafett2k6 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Just opening this now and taking a sip as i post...For anyone else in the UK, this is currently available at Marks and Spencer for £24 (usually £27) right next to the Elijah Craig 12!

Richnimrod Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Cracked open a 'new' bottle of Old Grand Dad 114. I was surprised (NOT!) at how delicious it was. Decided to have a second pour, upon further reflection. Still Delicious!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Decided it was finally time to open up a bottle of Rhetoric 20yr this evening with friends. The poor bottle had gotten lost at the back of the cabinet, figured it was time to let it get some fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen any since the 'great load up of '16' My experience was that it never really disappeared near me. There were a few bare shelf locations for a week or maybe two; but, that can be explained by delivery lag. Anyway, plenty around now; though not the bargain it once was. Back in the day, it was priced only a buck or two over OGD BIB. Now it's widely priced around $10 more, and that includes OGD BIB price rise of about 4 or 5 bux. I've seen it at $39.99! Sad to say; but that still isn't actually overpriced for the distillate contained in the bottle.... just a shock for those of us who remember the $23-$25 days (not all that long ago).

HoustonNit Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 ^Thats crazy $40 for OGD114. It's not everywhere but still can be found somewhat easily for $22 to $25 a bottle here for OGD114. Bought some recently didn't like it as first but it's growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first bottle, i'm already in love with it, the problem, it's very hard to find in Europe, i've got it online, it was available on the website for less than 2 minutes. I was lucky enough to get another one on monday, but same thing, after 1 minutes, SOLD OUT. Now i have two of this batch and i'm a very happy man (lucky man too) What about the quality between batches, they are all great or some are better than others ?? Masset, I'm glad you like it. I've only tried 2 batches and they are both good. So my experience is limited. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also a big fan of Stagg, father and son, but sometimes I need something flavorful and tasty but not in your face tasty, just an easy high proof sipping bourbon, and this one fit perfectly in this category. I could not have stated it better myself. I am a big fan of the unique taste of Stagg Jr but it's not what I would call balanced. I do find the CEHT BP more balanced and refined than StaggJr. Edited March 13, 2017 by Kepler typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Finally got around to opening the Elijah Craig BP batch 8 (139.8 pf) and still haven't quite finished the batch 5. I'm slow. I had forgotten the intensity of these. Tasted it at bp, diluted to 105 pf, then to 90 pf. I need to get my taste senses readjusted to high proofs again. But at any proof, it is worth the fare.
