Mako254 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Finish 4 12 hr shifts on a Cardiac ICU? Time for a pour. Or four. I've enjoyed the 09 EWSB and will be stocking the bunker accordingly. Edited August 23, 2017 by Mako254 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to purchase any bottles of 2009 EWSB. I have some 2005-2008 bottles stored, but haven't purchased any 2009 because I thought it was getting too young. I may have to reconsider that since I've seen several over 8 years old. HMKBIB is a better value these days, but I like a good EWSB almost as much as a HMKBIB honey barrel.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I had never had any of these but I got my old man one a month or two ago. I finally tried it last weekend and really enjoyed it. I do wish it had a little higher proof to it, but it's still a great value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottle shop right by costco here in columbia has 09 (my bottle was barreled april 09 bottled march 17) for $20.99. They had a couple 08s that are currently bunkered. I pick up any non 09 years and stash them but the 09 is a daily go to. Part of me wishes this was a higher proof but I also enjoy the 86.6 if I want to have a second (or short 3rd) pour on a night that I have to work the next day. Has HH ever offered a barrel proof EWSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Wow! $20.99 is a great price on EWSB. It's closer to $30, and sometimes over $30 in my area. It's usually as much or more than HMKBIB. I don't really have anything that I call a daily go to since I have so many open bottles. I also wish EWSB was a bit higher proof, but I'm not aware of any higher proofed versions...other than other HH brands.

HoustonNit Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I hope the quality of the KC picks stay this high for a long time. Some serious age on that one you had! The bottle I had was from a ~10.5yo barrel. I like the warehouse barrel map on the back of your bottle, they should put that on all of them.I really dig the label and KCSB picks.The other one the store picked up at the same time was "The Rapture", 10.5 yes which I liked more.

HoustonNit Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I envy your access to those bottles. Until I happily proven wrong, probably the best place for store picks in Houston. If only they could get a spot on the BT and HH picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Nothing special, but emptied another bottle of HH6yrBIB tonight. Why it took me so long to realize how good this bourbon was I have no idea. But I am sure glad I did!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp55 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Finished this off today. Never really warmed up to this one as a sipper, but it made a good mixer. Doubt I will re-buy, however...too many others that I like better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it rather hilarious that while touring bulleit (Stizel-Weller), they kept talking (during the tasting) about what a great mixer regular bulleit was, basically it was their only real selling point. I liked the rye best. No surprise. Its MGP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Since we are nearing the fall releases and September 2nd is next week, I figured it was time for my bottle of OFBB from 2016 to be empty in hopes of finding a replacement in the coming weeks. Who knows what will happen, but we will see that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing what secrets are revealed to those who recognize the various DSP numbers. Unfortunately not. My group was rather large, and I basically stood right outside the door of the "open" rickhouse, "listening" to the guide. I noticed they had set up carts & other junk as barricades in the aisle to keep people in the area they wanted you to stay in, which was lots of new fill barrels. I would have snuck back in later, but the wife wanted lunch. I also just kinda wanted to soak in the place as it was my first time there. Hauntingly beautiful.

I'll say that it is a bit overpriced, but batch #11 is some fine bourbon. I have a couple and wished I had bought a few more when I had the chance.
