It was only rebranded a couple years ago, seems like a lot of expense if they were just going to get rid of it, but anything is possible.

That's a good point! But a couple people on here got it at great prices on close out specials. I am still finding it in Indiana . What was the product before rebranding a couple years ago?

Same product just a different color scheme and label design. The also dropped the 12 year seemingly around the same time.

The current one is the red one, the older one is the black and greenish one.

Please elaborate! I travel all the time but ignore those programs. How did that happen?

Arguably unrelated, but Hhonors got me into the private lounge where a gentleman was enjoying this bottle. He brought it from home.

Kevin, are we talking about the same product? I could be colorblind but this label looks baby poop brown!

The answer is kind of both yes and no, since I'm fairly color blind, I thought this was more of a brick red, but if you say brown then brown it is!

ECBP C917 fits tonight’s bill. Working on finishing this bottle off to clear some space for a different bottle to be opened.

Actually it could be brick red. Still ugly though, lol. Need a pretty decanter for this lovely stuff.

Enjoying some ER before dinner, and wondering why they charge less for ER than for BT. Oh . . . Because they can[emoji6]

Really?  Where I live BT is generally around $24-$28 and ER (when I can find it) is about $32.

Not the case in my area. BT is usually around $25-$28 and ER is $30-$32.

This was a restaurant - charging $10 for BT, and $9 for ER.  I get charging the same amount (there isn't a huge price difference retail), but seemed silly to me to charge less for ER.  Leaves me to think they get way more folks asking for Buffalo Trace, so they just bumped it :)

OK, that makes more sense.

VOB BiB over a 3/4 clear cube. :) Normally I smell banana, but today it’s sweeter, cotton candy? Nice mouthfeel. Just a tad of burn right after swallowing that affects the. Still, for $13 this is nitpicking.

I don’t often reach for wheaters but this Rebel Yell 10 is delivering tonight.

Loving this GBS OESO. Yep, this is coming to Bardstown next week. Delicious, orange zest dusted chocolate covered cherries.

Some of the ER101 I mixed up in my new glass. This blend in great. All the cherry cola nose and caramel sweetness of Stagg Jr. without the painful afterburn.

Decided to see how the FR OESV was enjoying life in the decanter for the past few months. From the first sip I think it enjoys the decanter very much.

I brought one last Fall to the Gazebo/West Wing tables, and almost had to bribe folx to try it!     I find it excellent, and preferred it to much of what was available.

In fact, I wound up drinking more of it than anything else, and maybe more of it than everybody else put together.     That one is long gone now; but I have one more, I think. 

I may bring the sister (OBSK) with me next week.    I have two of those left... both unopened.

I realize I've been out of it on here for awhile, but ER101 is now a moniker for someone's private blend?  In my day ER101 referred to the old Eagle Rare 101.  I may need to go back to the SB dictionary...
