They have disappeared from my neck of the woods...happy to see that a few are still out there sitting on a shelf waiting on a home. Very nice haul on the EC12!

Basically, I'm wondering if it is a new label for the American Whiskey. I've been swamped at work recently and have sadly not been keeping up on bourbon developments. Yes, it's their own distillate. 5 years old. Batch one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Also, it is different from the American whiskey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I'm not a braggart or a hoarder. I love HH6 BIB, as do some of my family and friends. I won't be able to make it to Bardstown this fall, so I figured I'd grab a few more bottles than usual. All will be consumed by myself, or shared with the aforementioned family and friends. My niece's husband has developed an interest in bourbon, and a bottle or two are for him. Vosgar and I are part of a small, local bourbon and cigar group, and I muled home a couple of bottles for them as well. We're looking at a possible get together Wednesday night so I can share the wealth. Cheers! Joe It's all good, Joe. Everybody knows you're not a braggart, you are the real deal. If anything, I'm the hoarder (since I went out and collected a case and a half of EC12 when I found out the age statement was going away. But do I regret it? Hell no I don't !!!)

Wise observation. This one definitely fits the "something nice and different" category for me. I've been drinking bourbon since I was old enough to legally imbibe, but this release just goes to show there is always something new out there worth the effort to investigate.

And is it shocking that Barrell won with everyone hyping them throughout the year? I think not. I really do appreciate your point, but have you actually tasted it? I had the same viewpoint as yours until I tried Smooth Ambler Old Scout, and I was proven wrong. I put this release from Barrell in the same category as SAOS. As of today, I have 3 big exceptions to my prejudice rule against NDP's: 1) Smooth Ambler single barrel bourbon 2) Barrell Bourbon 3) Michter's Barrel Strength LE Rye All three are based on my own actual tasting. There's some great things going on out there in the market if we just open our eyes (and our palates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've picked up some Barrell recently and I'm a big fan of Smooth Ambler, had and got quite a few bottlings. Michter's I like but the LE Rye is expensive this side of the pond.

Is not like they are bottling their own. Based on my bar, MGP very well might be my favorite distiller Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
