I've got more coming though, waiting for 2015 which just landed in Belgium today, still have to go through customs, but i'll have it soon. Cheers! Will. And I thought my ECBP Batch 6 was high in ABV, Which year/batch was that bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from 2016, not the highest though, the 2007 is 72.4 ABV. I've enjoyed my last pour of ECBP batch 6, even more than the 2016 Stagg (AND I'M A BIG STAGG FAN, so not easy to admit) Will.

Pretty much the same in Indiana. Almost any place that sells booze has ER @ $25 - $30. I've even seen it cheaper on sale. I don't see any Weller except the pics some people post here.

In my California town, the only bottle of Weller I've seen is the one I got for my birthday; IIRC the person who gifted it said an employee at Total Wine clued them in about it and referred them to the customer service desk. Pretty hush hush it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 EWSB 2006 vintage. It's a good barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Agree more with FH. The Willet was a bit of a hot mess to me. Moved onto some EHSiB. Mmmm this is good. I am getting the same cherry cola as I did from the “ER101” blend. May have to mix up a small batch and do a SBS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam777 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I won’t give my full tasting notes but some observations that many already know. OGD 114 for the price is excellent and KCSiB the same. Barrel picks are always fun and KCSiB is probably the smoothest drinker for 120 proof and aged 9 years with some barrel picks longer! It’s funny at only 8 proof points higher bookers 2017-04 Sip a While packs way more of a punch and the finish is excellent. Each beam product serves the purpose in their prospective categories and depending on the mood I will take any of these however money will be the only thing holding me back on some of the bookers especially being aged 6-7 years and KCSiB at 9 years for around $25 cheaper.

Kane Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) All by myself tonight. Didn't feel like spending big, so entered the shittiest dive playing the loudest guitars to get a pint. They have Blanton's for $7!!! Served in a shot glass of course. Edited May 6, 2018 by Kane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liquor store said as of today eagle rare is officially an allocated bottle for the time being. Anyone else here this? Nope. Wash DC has regulars and some store picks scattered around, and Virginia ABC stores currently have it on sale at $30 a 750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally don't like the look of the 2 other glasses I've heard good things about the OGD 114 though; going to have to pick up a bottle soon.
