Would agree on the CEHTBP, however not seen that in CO in forever and when you do its gone in a flash, Stagg Jr I dont think compares at all to the Gold, ECBP is another good one, but again tough to find here.

The EH Taylor barrel proof is my favorite of the bunch, i find the Stagg Jr a little young and harsh. ECBP is one the best value on the market. I'm also a big of the Gold, the proof seems perfect on this one. 

 

Cheers! 

 

Will.

I’m guessing he is ordering from Whiskeyinternationalonline. I have no idea how they are able to ship to all 50 states but apparently they can. I just spoke with them using that IM thing. They also boast about being cheaper than MOM and whiskey exchange. I still don’t know how they are able to ship and MOM and WE can’t. Anyone else ever use these guys and can say the are legit?

Who knows, shipping alcohol is complicated!

 

Years ago I purchased some bottles of Absinthe when it was technically not legal to buy in the US.  Lots of merchants use private couriers to ship.  It costs more and the legality is dubious, but it is certainly done.  I have no experience with the store you mentioned, so I'm certainly not speaking for them...

Yes, there was another thread discussing an onshore retailer that was selling 750ml bottles that were obtained in some way from offshore markets. The markets weren’t Europe so they weren’t 700ml. Those bottles are out there.  

What countries receive 750ml distribution?

So that's where they get the bourbon to fill the 50 ml bottles!

I don’t know. A search for sftb should turn up that thread.

All of the ones we see in Australia are 700's.

Found the thread. The only confirmed SFTB purchase of 750ml was the "Carribean" Id love to hear a review Birdie. I wonder if there is a difference in barrel picks as these are sent to other markets.

I already opened one and compared to the ones I got from MoM it's pretty much exactly the same in proof and taste to my palate.
