Crowd fund/patreon someone to go to over there and over-night us some jdm Kentucky Bourbon??? How’s the law on international whiskey shipping these days?? the whole cases/trunk comment makes me wonder if Japan has their own version of Harry/Harry-san? Instead of OG, he drinks and stashed the EW12?? Twilight zone stuff Edited August 5, 2021 by TehRegion219 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Picked up 4 more of the MMPS I helped blend back in March. Could be some bias going on, but damn, I’m loving this one and will only be happy to have several bunkered. Was also lucky to get an unexpected ETL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look out if we get them in the same room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT3NSB Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Traveling today and picked up a KC12 and Sazerac Rye on my first stop. Found a WB Saffel in my second stop. Can’t get any of theses in NC easily. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t get any of theses in NC easily. Sazerac can be tricky to get here for sure, and the WB Saffel seems nearly impossible (so nice score on that one), but FWIW, KC12 has been steadily available at multiple stores here in Durham for months now. Basically, once they upped it to $70, it’s been pretty easy to find. Hoping something similar eventually happens w/ RR13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 OF100 It's been a rarity on shelves around here, (Baltimore metro area). I'm visiting family in Va Beach, and snagged one for $20.99. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeySnakes Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Picked up some staples at a favorite, just out of state, store. Interestingly enough, I got to talking with the manager, and she said that an "Elijah Craig Barrel Proof store pick" "might" be in the works. Hmmm... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least as much as any of us enthusiasts who do not work in the industry can. I believe it will be 9 year EC Barrel Proof picks. My local heard about this when we were going last March and tried to get one, but was told they were not starting until May. So if that was the actual timetable the first ones should start appearing soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The other day I accidentally dropped my bottle of simple syrup on the floor and broke it. Today after I got a new set of tires put on my truck, I decided to stop by a couple of liquor stores on the way home (I know, imagine that right). It just so happens that I came across another leftover Elijah Craig gift box with the Old Fashioned cocktail syrup bottle included. $26.99. Win win. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of variation in the samples - but just like the base product they were all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH was one of the easier places to schedule with and they offer a nice rickhouse experience. Hopefully we will be go back and do one of the new 9yr BP ones next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
