On my trips to Bardstown, I sometimes stop at Emerson & 465 to take a break and eat. I’ve stopped at that store a few times. Bought a bottle or three also. Biba! Joe Joe, on the West side of Emerson, South of 465 is a great Asian restaurant - Egg Roll #1. They have the standard Chinese, plus Viet & Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local store advertised the 5 bottles - Top Floor, Bonded, Full Proof, Single Barrel and I believe Small Batch. Each was less than $20 except the Single Barrel. Any reason why? Benchmark is a great value and the fact that you have the entire lineup available to you is incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they start offering it with wider distribution in Indy, I will opt to try a couple. It was interesting that they have the entire lineup.

PaulO Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Last week, I was at a grocery store. They had a private selection of 1792 FP @ $40. I thought about it. I was back yesterday, for groceries. I had to check. They were all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it was overpriced, I would have picked that up. I had WT81 in a bar about ten years ago and I remember being pleasantly surprised by the amount of rich caramel flavor.

BottledInBond Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I passed on a shelf of ECBP. Not that it is super notable to pass on ECBP, as it is fairly consistently available now. But this pace had it for $49.99 which I think is the best price I have seen on it for a while. What are others seeing ECBP for these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, there is no ECBP A120 or B520 to be found in my area. However, I have found a couple of stores that have a few B519 and (more then a few) C919 at local msrp. I already have two of the C919, I may grab another since the first tasting was so good. Wondering if anyone here thought the B519 was stellar. Online reviews have been from meh to must buy. Also, CEHT Single Barrel and Single Barrel BiB at 84,99 otd. I have never tried any of the CEHT line, but have read mostly good things about CEHT SB, SiB, and Barrel Proof. Wasn't sure about pricing, so even though I was very intrigued, I walked away. But not without finding out that they hadn't sold one of the CEHT SiB since the beginning of February 2020. There were 3 of them there, so I felt like I could walk away and maybe come back at a later tie and not be disappointed. my opinion is biased, but I’ve never had a single barrel EH Taylor that was better than the small batch. Ive stopped buying them (single barrel), regardless of price. Im done choking that ish down. Small batch abd 4 grain are my favorites from the Taylor line.

Sgtspitter101 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Passed on a er10 at 50 bucks and a blantons at 130. Also passed on several eht small batch at 67, i did pick up 2 as that is about the cheapest price around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most retailers offer it for $69.99 to $79,99. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I passed on KC12 at $54.99. Not a bad price given that I rarely see KCSB PS or even KC9. I am not in the buying mode right now unless I run across something special. If they still have some in a few weeks, I might pick one up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHT sb, everytime I have tasted it next to other products always falls short for me. Last i paid for it in my area was $45, and that was the last time I'm buying it. For $60 range there are much better readily available bourbon's IMO Edited August 13, 2020 by liquidbarrels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
