Hop Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I support your decision to pass on the EC18. Recent releases haven't been very good IMHO and I'd much prefer 2 1/2 ECBP's for the same money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Been passing on a lot of ECBP at $100. If I wasn't well stocked I'd be buying it though. Does anyone know what the MSRP on ECBP is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what the MSRP on ECBP is now? It's $54.99 in NC so $100 is high - last I saw at the HH Gift Shop was $75 and that was high as well based on what I see but others may think differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 When I can find it around here it's $100 - $110 in the stores. Price gouging at it's finest. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FacePlant Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Passed on Boss Hog at $325 and the 12yr Pig at $125. If I'm doing Rye it's probably going to be Pikesville or maybe a Handy w/friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing it at $56.99 is almost like having a wet dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get Blantons/RHF/Hancocks at retail your not missing anything in my book, the value of ETL was it's price point, at $50 there are a lot of options I would take over ETL.

What is remarkable to me is when I was in KY in November I went to Liquor Barn in Louisville, one of the ones off of 65 and they had a mountain of ETL at $35 I passed on it even then because I have been burned by the last two bottles I bought.

I've got a bottle of Blanton's, bought at retail and I really like it. I'm a fan of BT products and have been wanting to try the ETL, but just not at the prices I've seen.

That would be the Fern Valley location. Last time I was in there, about a month ago there was no ETL, WSR, OWA, GTS, W12, ECBP, . . . well there wasn't much of anything that I didn't already have or wasn't interested in.

gusto16 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I also passed on a Baby Saz for $34.99On the fairly rare occasions that I see ETL in my area, it runs $40 - $60 or more. I just like having it available, so I'm good for now.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird how things go, I have literally never seen a bottle of W12, but especially lately we have gotten a good trickle of OWA and regularly get ECBP, ETL drops once a year and disappears quickly. I've never seen GTS in a store other than at remarkable inflated prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this. I buy it to have on hand to pour for others, but I almost never pour it for myself. $40 is the highest I've ever paid and I don't see that changing. If ever a product benefitted from someone dying this is the prime example. The stupid thing is Elmer's death theoretically would be bad for the product since part of the value of the brands was that he was picking the barrels....
