I'm assuming it was a special gift from the distributor/rep, because I've heard nothing about it anywhere else in town. You’re not missing out on anything unless you just want the bottle for display purposes. The liquid is subpar, certainly not worthy of any LE status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might've bit at that price, but I'm not paying the dumbass black market prices for that bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RRsib that got me hooked on that line was a rando old label in run of the mill mom and pop joint. I’d take a chance on that one. is there anything different about the old label small batch version? I ran across a few bottles at my local LS today for $34.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran across a few bottles at my local LS today for $34.99 WT barrel entry proof was raised a couple points by ER around 2005/6. The latest RB is 116 up from the previous 112 which may or may not be related, 108 was the version prior to that. IMO the current 116 RB is outstanding whiskey, one of the best available on the shelves at the moment. A new label SBS with an old label RR could be a fun tasting but be aware that the proof change preceded slightly the label change. GBS did a RR barrel where Eddie told us he increased the barrel entry proof and our barrels were split pre and post change, the delivered bottles were the old style label. We picked pre (lower entry proof) as those just happened to taste better but that's a VERY small sample size from which to draw any meaningful conclusion regarding entry proof and final product. Had we chosen a higher entry proof barrel it still would have been delivered with the old style label. If whats on your shelves is 2014 vintage it would predate the entry proof increase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is the #8 Wheat Whiskey and I think it was $400. They also have (have had for a looong time) an EC12 with the age on back for $90 and an EC12 with the red 12 on front for $100. The JPS16 below the W12 is priced at $199..which is what the retail price is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackthedog Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Left an ECBP on the shelf last weekend. At retail. It seems to be a little more prevalent now. I still think it's a great deal at retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golferpimp1 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Well, I'm off work for a few days. [emoji4] Today, I ran a couple of errands and picked up some groceries. Of course while out and about, I had to stop at the liquor store. Well, four of 'em to be exact. I saw a number of things that were tempting, but I passed on everything. Yeah, I know. <_> When I was done, I texted my wife to let her know that I was home. She asked me what I bought. (FWIW, I knew she meant bourbon.) I told her I didn't even buy one bottle. She texted me back. "Who are you?!?" Four stores, lot's of good stuff, some at decent prices and zero bottles. I reckon that kinda says it all. Biba!
