Dom Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Anyone seeing these hit the stores yet? I have heard a handful of different stories from it got pushed back several times now to not due out till March. I heard they were to hit my local stores in Feb/March last year so Im kind of on the hunt. Wondering if anyone has had a sighting . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodder636 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 If I remember correctly, my store said to expect it late March time frame for release. Maybe that is just local availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yeah that is the most consistent thing I have heard but I have heard Feb as well so Im paranoid I'll miss it. Obviously every market is different but if someone has had a sighting, Ill go on an all out stalk. Just had another kid though so I have to choose my days wisely =) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam777 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Figured I would keep this topic going. It’s now mid March which according to breaking bourbon’s calendar, EHT 4G should be hitting shelves soon. I haven’t seen any yet in Michigan. Anyone else have any updates?

BigSkyDrams Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I don’t have anything exactly on topic, but I’ll keep my eye out. On the general subject of the EHT4G though, I had a question I was pondering lately: does anyone know if it is distilled from a four grain mash, or is it just a blend of distillates from the BT wheat mashbill and one of the rye mashbills? Or is it a blend of already aged bourbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeTerp Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 My understanding was that it was distilled from a four grain mash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've been putting out a few feelers for this release myself. My best connection should come through as long as I can pinpoint when it hits town. "Corporate" takes delivery of all allocated bottles, but gives them to stores who ask... just need to know when to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeydk Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm curious about the availability, demand, and pricing that this release will bring. I want a bottle to try, as I missed the last one. I'm rapidly approaching $100 a bottle fatigue. I've got plenty of bottles to drink, and many to open, so I'm becoming reluctant to fork over money for the next "latest hottest lit fad" bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 27 posts but showing wisdom and indicating that you get the concept of bourbon zen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it seems so much coming out lately is up there in price. I will say though that last years 4 grain was great! It was my first bottle of 4G, although I've had plenty of the EHT offerings. I have been keeping an eye open as well and haven't seen it out here in WA yet, where with taxes I'll pay well over $100 at retail if I can get it...

$helby Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Picked one up from a NCABC store at $74.85 including tax. It’s will be opened tomorrow night for the derby Mint Julip lovers as long as they hold the mint , ice and sugar. If they insist on following the recipe, I have a bottom shelfer they are welcome to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Even if you missed out on the 4G ask your retailer if they still have the wooden box it was shipped in. It looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed 2 in NC... already popped one and after one glass it was the best bourbon on my shelf. I like it better than the blantons and EC18 its beside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Anyone know how to tell if the bottle is from 2017 release or 2018 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laser date code on the glass bottle near the bottom-on the side (if its not rubbed off). It'll say "B17" or "B18". or it could say "L17" or "L18", Depending on which line it was bottled on. Anyway, the second two digits are usually the year. Edited May 12, 2018 by 0895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Great, thank you, based on that looks like some of the ones hitting CO are from 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It has come (and probably gone) in Atlanta except for maybe bottles priced at secondary. Haven't had a chance to try it or compare to 2017 but i am sure I will eventually! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 I'm still looking in CA. Nothing yet although I have been busy and not hunting as much as I could. Every time I ask I get the "it has been delayed" story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiraSea Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is there a different release date on the Barrel Proof one? In this four grain release I've seen a lot of of the single barrel with it in the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time as the four grain release, we got a release of single barrel too. Is there a different time period on the barrel proof release?
