GTStagg Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 There was just one bottle of ECBP B519 hiding in plain sight next to his 94 proof brothers at TW today. It was a no brainer as I had a $25 rewards coupon to cash in. Uncorked it immediately when I got home and set up a blind with a StaggJR. Will post in the drinking thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at a lot of stuff, but didn’t find anything for the house or yard. Of course we stopped at a few liquor stores along the way. Passed on everything till we got to Fulton Illinois. Stopped in to say hi to Brad at Eagle River Liquors, and bought........................yet another Weller SR. What can I say? Biba! Joe Fulton IL - that's where the rye is grown for Cody Rye from Mississippi River Distillery. Had a barrel pick of it years ago...lotsa spiced tangerine notes!

Not sure what happened, but that is no longer the case. Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinbrink Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) 13 hours ago, fosmith said: Totally agree. I've never had a Booker's I didn't like. But the flavor profile can and does vary from batch to batch (just like with Sjr. and ECBP) and it's interesting to explore those differences. That's what makes me want to try them all. But there's no reason to stock up on any single batch since there's always another good one down the road... Only reason to stock up is a good price, Booker's has been my favorite regularly available bourbon for a very long time and when the price hike was anounced I bought a case of 2014-7 for $45 a pop, think I have three left. A little over a year ago I found a store with one of the named batches (Dot's batch I think?) for $55 and I bought the three bottles they had. At this point I have enough Booker's to last the rest of my life I think, but I can't say I wouldn't buy a bottle if I found a good deal....

Radioyada Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I guess you can say I had a “Taylor” made kind of day. Was excited to get the notice earlier today that something was waiting on me to pick it up. The BP was a surprise I was not expecting 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Not me, but a coworker picked up a Rock Hill Farms yesterday for $100. He was excited to find it for that price and jumped at it He said it was the same price he paid for one last year and they are the only two times he has ever seen it.

Adam777 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Bought a couple store picks at my Local. Can’t wait to try the eagle rare as the people were talking it up. $39.99 and $64.99 for the bottle and big bottle. A little more in price but it goes to our local vet center. I’m keeping the big boy but giving the other bottle to a fellow vet. Cheers! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped into the Lakeview location and they only had one of them on the shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this also from Binny's? I hope not as the last one I got from them (also B519) was $55 and it would be annoying if they raised the price!

Eagle Rare picks are some of my favorites and that is very cool that it goes towards a good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
