Richnimrod Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Opened an 'old' Old Fitz 1849. It's not bad; but, not what it had been several years prior to this iteration (this one is maybe about 7-years old?). This one is notably 'younger' in profile than days of yore, and not extremely complex, yet it's still an enjoyable pour on a warm day after mowing the lawn. Rather sweet, if a little thin with a kinda caramel corn base to it's palate, it still satisfies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji20] $79 is a bit high but it isn’t an atrocious price for ECBP. The cheapest that I can find it these days is about $65, but I see a lot more at $69.99 and higher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio, liquor controlled state. Even though selection is limited here, ECBP does show up every couple of weeks (3 bottle cases at a time) at MSRP ($54 out the door). 3 or 6 bottles sit right next to the cash register and disappear in 1 day. Hope your luck changes soon. C518 and A119 are the best batches I've had so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Par for the course for me I guess though, seems like the pours I’m really seeking normally run upwards of $20 or more per bottle then others are paying. I’ll do a little more diligence and if no luck won’t feel too badly per your input if I have to pull the trigger at that price.. Thanks again..

[emoji6] Just have to clear something up since you keep abbreviating my handle “lcpfratn” and calling me “Frat.” I guess I can see how you can get “Frat” from the middle of my forum name, but the components of my forum name are actually LCP-fra-TN. LCP was derived from two things, the LCP pistol made by Ruger, which is what I carry most of the time, and it is also the acronym for the Lincoln County Process used by Tennessee Whiskey distilleries. The term “fra” means “from” in Danish, which I have a close connection to, and I speak the language well enough to get by when I’m in Denmark. And finally, I live in Tennessee, so that’s where the “TN” comes from. So call me LCP or Jeff, since that’s my real name...not loving the “Frat” thing. Cheers Hollywood! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, thanks for the heads up my friend. Note: I have little nick names for my friends and just trying to be personable. Either way, your insight still much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to beat WT101 anywhere.... even on a finely mowed pasture fulla holes. Agreed, part of the reason for all the Buffalo is based on the ton of product that just hit here over last 2 weeks. Found the W12, ETL, RHF, EHT SB/Rye all in last 2 weeks. My brother gifted me the Gold/SFTB from a trip overseas and we were saving it. For good measure we will also compare the ECBP A119 to the B519 I just got yesterday! 101 never misses.....and don't mind sharing on the course with the other 10 guys that will be there since most will just dump it in Coke's! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Today I opened a bottle I got years ago from our dear departed friend and SB moderator, p_elliot. This 14yr old John J. Bowman private selection from the "apartment group" is a very easy drinking 100 proof and has a ton of that old time caramel flavor. The finish isn't quite as long as I'd like, but it tastes so damn good that I don't really care. Outstanding whiskey! This one's for you Paul. Cheers!
