White Oak in MoCo, MD has 5 bottles according to the website. 

 

Being a proud graduate of Springbrook HS in beautiful Silver Spring I know exactly where that's at. Thanks!

We get the EB90 here but I don't think the OE7 is distributed  in MO. I have seen it across the river in ILL a time or two but haven't tried it.

If you can't find the OE look for Virgin 7/101. I've blind tasted the two and can't tell the difference. It's widely speculated that HH supplies Luxco for the OE and the Virgin is an HH product so my opinion is the bourbon in both is the same. Here in NC the Virgin is less expensive than the OE

ECBP 136 with an ice sphere. My pup got a hot spot which had to be shaved. Wearing a lampshade now. Won't take too many of these before I join him wearing a lampshade.  This is just outstanding.

That's my favorite ECBP batch.

Started with the SB Blend (80/20 W12 heavy) and finishing with ECBP.

A bunch of you jokers have been waxing on about the quality of recent WSR batches so y'all wore me down and I purchased one about 30 minutes ago. Sipping it now. Not bad, not bad. It's coming off a touch hot but I'm betting that's me so I'm not judging it yet. Otherwise solid. I do like it better than Larceny. I do not regret the purchase. Next step - mix up some Grandpa Weller's 4 Grain. Can someone remind me what the ratio is?

Steve, I use 60% WSR and 40% OGD114 in mine.

Just opened up an older PS of FRSB. OBSO, 11y4mo, 115.4 proof. Very good depth of flavor, though not particularly fruity.

My new batch @ 50:50 is super fantastic, too.  Hibiki decanter is back in the 'fridge - drink neat in a cold Yeti!  Perfect warm summer drink, IMHO.   :wub:

While working on my 4R solera, I couldn't help but notice how much the Al Young bottle had "opened up".

It was good when I first cracked it - now it's even better.

Rewarded myself with a pour

I 'volunteered ' to pick up the carry out order for my wife and kids at our local bourbon and BBQ bar. They were out of ECBP which was the greatest value on the menu so I decided to try something cheap that I wasn't willing to buy by the bottle - JBDO. I have to say it's pretty good and appropriately named/described being a bit woody. You can do a lot worse at this price point.

After an afternoon working in the yard, I rewarded myself with an OGDBIB out of the fridge into a rocks glass out of the freezer. Fantastic.

HH6BIB is still the champ out of the fridge, but OGDBIB works quite nicely.

Spent the last few nights, including tonight, enjoying a Rural Inn KCSB.  Not sure of the age, but I was told it was less than 10 years old.  KCSB is interesting because each barrel has different qualities.  While a 12 year old barrel can be great so can a 9 year old barrel.  Heading to Gurnee/Waukegan tomorrow.  Hoping to pick up a few of the Binny's KCSBs.

Blanton's SFTB with a bit of water. I find standard Blanton's too refined, to the point of being boring. It's amazing that this is the same animal. Just a wonderful full flavored, experience.

Experimenting with the chilled bourbon continues. I mixed up some 60:40 Grandpa Weller's Four Grain blend (heavy on the WSR) and then put the glass in the freezer for 30 minutes.

This one is not as good to me as the HH6BIB and the OGDBIB. Still love it a room temperature though.
