It’s been a while since I had some EC open. This one is a 12 year old Julio’s pick.

Opened one of these myself in the last week or two. Glad I still have an extra one hanging around somewhere. It is a mighty tasty 12yr.

saw a 1:30 afternoon post on "what did I just open" thread so had to check it out.  weather is beautiful here.  I might follow your excellent example and pop open something new on the back deck.  Squire been my sensei for years, but now you might take the spot.

I've been adding to my 2018 Weller Blend bottle since I first made it 3 years ago. If it got low, I added to it. Well, I emptied it over the weekend. I decided today that I wanted to keep the tradition going. :D

Barrell batch 22.  I've been wondering about this one. Just Kentucky and Indiana juice, no TN/Dickel.  It's good, but the youth shows. Grainy on the nose, but the palate is better, and finish is better yet. The finish is the strong point for me.

Opening some barrel proof after who knows how many shifts in the hospital.

Nice pour, enjoy.  You definitely earned it.

Stay safe my friend. I have a nurse friend here in Seattle who told me yesterday that things have eased up here now after a peak about 2 weeks ago. How's it looking for you in Columbia?

Out of curiosity, how do you like / compare the A120 batch vs the B519 or C919 (if you’ve had them)?

B519 is my favorite of the last several batches. I love lower proof barrel proof offerings so B519 is a winner for me. I have blinded it w/ other ecbp (including some squats) and B519 is my favorite. 

 

I only had 1 pour of A120 last night and first impression is a strong one.  These can still be found for about $65 in my market.

Thanks Steve. Appreciate your words. 

My hospital not as hard hit as others but I have been working in our covid ICU some. 

We are also getting lots of really sick patients that have been too scared to come ER and stayed home. Tough situation all around.

That 'rocks glass' seems a perfect choice with the green-label HH-6!  ...And the table's color and wood grain are a perfect complement to the green, and close match to the color of the Bourbon.  ?      Nicely done!  ?

A gift from a friend at work. Cracked it open leaving the jobsite and we both had a taste. Smooth/sweet. Really hit the spot. Id like to do a sbs with a regular bottle.

AARRRGGHHHH! I just HAD to open one of my bunkered OGD 114s (average purchase price $22.19 per 750 ml but who keeps track?!).  Using the SB calculator (on front page), I diluted it to 100 proof or so as I WAS OUT OF OGD BIB!!  Quelle fromage!

 

OTH, it is not bad.:D

The B520 is just out, and it too is a lower proof - 127.2.  Well, lower for ECBP.

I can't imagine a world where this could happen.   ...Like the law of gravity suddenly being repealed or something.   Un-freaking- thinkable!

In my defense --

 

I emptied my last black fake cork OGD BIB into my bourbon decanter (used exclusively for cocktails) last week thinking I had a spare or two.  I did NOT.  But, I have a dozen or so 114s bunkered here and there.  Rather than order-for-delivery some OGD BIBs, thereby incurring the wrath of a wife who is petrified of anything arriving on the porch  (particularly since the KNOWN bunker/bunkers contains/contain several years' worth of bourbon and rye even at MY consumption levels:rolleyes:), I decided to crack the 114.  A side benefit - I got to sip on the 150 ml of 114 that would not fit in the "diluted" OGD BIB orange cap 750 I use as an OGD decanter.

 

I sure hope this puts your universe back in balance.  ASIDE - Recall that I am a lawyer by trade.  If you want me to make the argument for the other side, please send me one basic store pick BT.;)

I just have one question Harry. Did you forget to check the “trunk” again? ?
