Louisiana Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 My first purchase in over 4 months was today! One of the PHC24's will be opened up, one will be put in the bunker, & one will go to a fellow SB'er. Couldn't pass up the lone ECBP. Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Well that's one heck of a way to get back to buying. Congrats!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Good news, bad news. I went to a store Friday to get a bottle of Old Fitz BIB. They were out. But I did get something they just got in. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked past the bourbon aisle on my way to pick up peanut butter and jelly. Maybe I should have walked by a little slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Drinking these abs tonight. The 17 is coming off as more complex but also much more oak forward which is not always to my liking. It's thinner than Decades due to the proof, but on its own you wouldn't notice. Fuller mouthfeel on Decades and I like the proof better, but something is off on it tonight (granted I've only had one pour prior to this) so my palate may not be totally right. Tonight's sbs goes to the 17 but my memory of my first Decades pour was superior so I need to try this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice the only EC private barrel picks I have seen here are in the 9ish year range, not that it really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally passed on these bottles. Then I said Van Winkle has a 25 year old 100 Proof for $1800 MSRP. The PHC24 is a 24 year at 100 Proof for $250 MSRP. Didn't look like to bad of a deal after that. 5 hours ago, Kozman said: Just Amazing! Congrats!!! Thanks Kozman! 3 hours ago, Masset1982 said: Hey Jeff, Great finds, lucky you! Glad to have you back.
