Picked up a couple bottles of ECBP batch A118.  Interesting that they're putting a tag on the top noting the 2017 "Whisky of the Year" award.

Can’t wait until they show up at my haunts in New England.

I really think they should make that neck tag bigger. I wouldn't be able to read that from the moon.

Heh!  Yeah, it's an oddly huge tag.  I had to be careful to keep it in place for the picture.  I doubt many will survive on the bottles as they're put on the shelf at stores.

Stagg Jr., 131.9.  I am looking for a batch schedule somewhere here, as I am not sure which batch this is.  I believe it is the most recent, as the store I bought it from just got them in.

Except that the whiskey they rated was batch B517, not A118! So it seems a bit disingenuous (not that most people will likely know the difference). I have yet to try (or even see) A118 yet but each batch tends to be a bit different. Personally I didn't think A117 was as good as B517.

About 8 years ago i began commuting to OKC for my job, while residing in the Plano/Dallas area. I did that for nearly 4 years, and i found that the bourbon selections in OKC were superior to Dallas, as there were fewer people like me. Ha. Then i followed that by commuting to Lake Charles, LA for a while. Again, the selection was better than Dallas, except that LCWoody was my counterpart. He managed to secure some good stuff it would seem. Ha! Now i am commuting to the Kennesaw/Woodstock area north of Atlanta, and i am finding the variety to be different than Dallas/Plano, even at the local Total Wine. I have found Stagg Jr. batch 9 at another nearby LS, and some other items that are different. All good. Fun too.

KCSB Store Pick from LOWC.  With Nor'easter number 4 scheduled for next Tuesday...  Also picked up a Lag 16 and RR Rye.  I am SOOO tired of this Winter.

Had been looking for some WTKS (yes - the irony is strong that I've not bought it before because I thought it was overpriced and I'd be paying for the bottle . . . and now I'm intentionally looking to pay for the bottle before they change it!) and finally found one!  The Bourye LS was a bonus - remember trying this last year (although may have been a different batch, so fingers crossed).

Went into LS to get OGD114 but saw 1 OE7 for $16.99 and ECBP A118 for $61 so I left with 1 of each of those. The OGD will have to wait.

James for this one. Gotta take what you can get these days. Bottle shop had 2, in a rare display of restraint, I left one behind for the next fellow.

 It's all good M.

 

I finished a SAOS 7 yr (Sarah) recently. I kinda felt a little bad about relegating that empty to the recycle bin. :unsure:

 

FWIW, I wonder if Sarah knows that she has somewhat of a cult following here among SB members. ^_^
