DCFan Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The Va ABC has set up a placeholder on their website for what I assume is a new product from Heaven Hill: https://www.abc.virginia.gov/products/bourbon/heaven-hill-american-whiskey-tasting-experience#/product?productSize=0 I don't know if they've offered a Heaven Hill product before but I'm curious if anyone has heard about this and if it's worth the $49.99 (500 ml).

JoeTerp Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 They have a lot of Heaven Hill products (under the Elijah Craig label). I saw this the other day and was curious as to what it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinbrink Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm going to guess this is (if 500ml is correct) 5 100 mls or 10 50 mls, no reason for that other than it would seem to make sense, either way interested to see what this turns out being.

It's probably 5 100's similar to what Jefferson did with their wood experiment release (although those were in 200's I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFan Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 The website says 500 ml container for $49.99 so there's nothing left for the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Montgomery County also has an entry for it at $60.99 and lists it as 100ml. http://www2.montgomerycountymd.gov/dlcsearch/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I may be stating the obvious, but 500ml is not a valid/legal liquor bottle size in the US, so it would have to be multiple smaller bottles such as 5x100ml or 10x50ml as others have said. Will be interested to see what exactly the contents of those bottles are, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeTerp Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Courtesy of the DCWhisky subreddit, this is a sampler consisting of 100 mL bottles of Bernheim, Larceny, Evan Williams Single Barrel, Elijah Craig Small Batch, and Pikesville Rye. So to answer the original question, this does not seem to be worth the $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Probably overpriced @ $50, but it looked like a whole lot of fun. 5 x 100ml glass tubes (basically two airplane bottles of each). The box is nice heavy cardboard and the white tray feels like felt. The little rubber O rings on the tubes keep them pressure fit in place. The EW SB is the 2004 vintage (in mine at least). The EC is NAS as expected. Would make a really nice gift. Edited October 23, 2017 by 0895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely that it was bottled as a 12-13yo barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back of the box says: 7-8 yrs. old under the EWSB description. Back of the box has brief descriptions of each product as well as this info below: Bernheim Wheat, 90p, 7years old Larceny, 92p, (no age mentioned) EWSB vintage, 86.6p, 7-8 years old Elijah Craig SmB, 94p, 8-12 years old Pikesville Rye, 110p, 6 years old (sorry, but I'm too lazy to take a pic of it).

I can understand paying a little premium for the unique, and probably costly packaging, but $50 is simply too high. I would probably be a buyer at around $35.

DCFan Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 The ABC has this on closeout for $25.09 which is almost half off their original asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I'd buy one at that price. They were $50 At Christmas and down to $40 A couple weeks ago here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
