It came in a large collection of goodies from HH when they sponsored an event for Norton Healthcare about 5 years ago. It was a silent auction item that cost me $600, but I got ECBP Batches 1 & 2 along with EC22 all signed by Craig Beam. It had a signed Barrel head and lots of other Evan Williams spices and sauces. The bottle of 22yr was AMAZING and well worth the money!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I hate sending another V17 to the recycling bin, but it was enjoyable until the end. My stash of these is almost gone, but not quite yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to open the reinforcements from the bunker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to open the reinforcements from the bunker! It has been that type of a week and the first pour didn't last long! I've now lost track of how many bottles have run dry this week.

I finished my last one in 2015 and I’m still getting over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stash of these is almost gone, but not quite yet. Haven’t had one in at least 6-7 years. Impressed you had enough foresight to create a stash of them. Those were REALLY good!

I'm a hot toddy kinda guy myself. That is correct. Actually had one yesterday. . .trying to kick a chest cold that has been bouncing between the kids and I for the past month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 126 proof batch was a lot better than that 107.2. The 107.2 was good but tasted a bit young to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 113.8 batch has an extremely distinct black grape/muscadine taste up front. Do either of these batches have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do either of these batches have it? The 107.2 is, to me, quite "fruity" up front. That may be what you pick up in 113.8. I've not tasted the 113.8. As for the 126, I would say it definitely does not have the taste you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This bottle got better over the months it was open. Nice nose of sweet caramel. Time for some bunker-hunting now to replace this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
