smokinjoe Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Not sure a bottle has given me more pleasurable pours than this $15 bottle over the last month. My first taste grabbed my attention, but I thought it was just the environment of having it in Bardstown during Sampler with SB Family. But, each pour since has been so enjoyable. Readily available here in Gawjuh, so I'll be picking up another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer their (newish) Bottled in Bond for a few bucks more, but not terrible for $18. Makes a decent Old Fashioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerlam92 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 First newer bottle version of ECBP Still good and averaging one every 3/4 weeks. Older bottle had always gave me a wow though and still have a ton of those in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife actually finished off the bottle in a whiskey sour. I don't think we'll be getting another bottle of it, my wife and I both prefer BT which is the same price as the Old Bardstown around here, ~$22. I've looked for the BIB bottle but can't seem to find any near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to pick up a bottle when I was at the Sampler in Bardstown last month, but forgot. Most of those that have tried it say it's much better than the regular version.

Masset1982 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Finished a 4R 2015, not by drinking it, I've made some samples for US member form another sub. Since I have to send him some 2014 too, I've opened one and by the same occasion, I'm having a pour at the moment. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Those are bottles that I have never seen in the wild in my area. I see lots of 4R SB PS barrel strength and 100 proof and the regular 4R SmB, but I have never seen or heard of any 4R LEs in my area. I'm sure they appear one or two at a time and since it's not something I've asked for at my most frequented stores, I've probably just never been offered any of what may occasionally come in. I'm going to have to add these to my ask list. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really looked in any specialty whiskey stores there in the past, but I'm going to check them out next summer when I'm there.

0895 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 1792 "single barrel" from 2016. Beautiful bourbon. Almost a bananas foster kinda thing going on. & The famous Barrell Bourbon batch 006. I didn't like this as much as everyone said I would. While good, the popcorn flavor wore on me as the bottle dropped in level. Glad I tried it, but won't miss.

OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Are my eyes deceiving me? Does that VOB neck band have "100" on it instead of "6"? I've only seen a "6" neck band since they dripped the age statement. I was eyeballing that 100 on the neckband too. I haven't seen those around here yet.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice that they use a different wax stamp for 750 vs 1.75? Also the wood cork toppers have different carvings. Script on one, block on the other. Just an interesting observation... Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're staying at least one week there, check some european online retailer.We usually stay at least a couple weeks, so I may have to check out those online retailers. My brother-in-law is starting to get more interested in bourbon too, but my wife's sister keeps his purchases reined in pretty good. I may have to have him do some looking before we arrive next year though to get a head start on any opportunities.
