miller542 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Picked up 2x750ml Beam Black double-aged 8yr, guess they were clearing out the warehouse. Oddly no extra-aged on the shelf. And a 1.75L Eagle Rare, beautiful bottle but no idea where I'm going to store this tall thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Was in London today, picked up a store pick of Old Scout. Unfortunately it's been reduced down to 46% but I hear there are some cask strength bottles on the way so I'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First the winner was shocking in 2015. Then the winner was an upset in 2016. And now we have hit the daily double in 2017 as the winner was a shocking upset... Best Bourbon: The Shocking Winner at San Francisco World Spirits 2015 Best Bourbon: The Unbelievable ‘Best Whisky’ Upset in ’16 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Shocking Whiskey Upsets at '17 San Fran World Spirits Comp Barrell Batch 11 was indeed the winner in this "shocking upset" On Freds website it shows a picture of the bottles they sampled from. The ECBP was Batch 13. At first I said woah woah woah. This ain't the best that ECBP has offered. Batch 11 & 12 were sublime & 13 was regarded as very good. Then I say Thank God!!! It's hard enough to find ECBP without any awards. Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I managed to find a EC12(back label) for $27.99, a 1792 Full Proof for $47.99 and a HM10BIB for $31.99. The Full Proof bottle was mixed in with the regular 1792. Wonder if someone was hiding it for later or just accidentally placed there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these were all cask strength, even the ones at lower proof. I have a few that around that proof, or even lower - one at about 43%. They are still very nice, but obviously not as bruising as something around 60% ABV. Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that this may not be watered down, I've got a 10 year and 11 year that are between 47-49 % ABV. The 11 year is particularly tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 11 year is particularly tasty. It's watered down... It was once 54ish+ I think, and there's some cask strength bottles on the way apparently... Doesn't detract from it though, still a great pour as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1gcountry Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Isn't Metze's Select their own distillate? I know nothing about that one, and I've never seen it anywhere.

FacePlant Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Got CEHT 4 grain & barrel proof. Got the email at 2:30 and since its Cinco I felt the need to leave early. While I chatted with the owner for a couple of minutes they sold all 12 bottles of each out. He showed me the nice wooden case the 4 grain was packed in (6 Pk). Glad to finally have a shot at the 4 grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly cheap though, about $75. Its $80+tax here in High West's home state of Utah, so I'd say you did ok. No High West product is particularly cheap, I've always considered HW about $10-20 overpriced for what you're getting. But at least they're transparent about what's in the bottle and you know what you're paying for, which is more than we can say for most other blenders, bottlers, and ndp's.

Glad to finally have a shot at the 4 grain.Congrats! I thought about heading that way when I saw the email, but the boss was giving me crap about it when I mentioned it since I bought several nice bottles while in Bardstown last weekend. I think I'll stick with my current 4 grain blend of WSR and OGD114 for now since I like it a lot and it's a whole lot cheaper...and I've got plenty of CEHTSmB and SB to hold me for a while. Cheers!

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. Ahh I see, yeah the title was a bit of clickbait alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I need some self control, bought a EC12 and a WA107. I wasn't going to get more but it's the 1L which I haven't seen yet. I'm done buying unless I find a 20 year old dusty...it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
