GeeTen Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Did my "due diligence" by looking at old threads before starting a new one. Old "Elijah Craig 18" thread was closed already.   Anyone tried the "new" EC18 just released? I have 2 different bottles from this release - one bottled 6-15-21 from Barrel #5413 and one bottled 7-7-21 from Barrel #5431. Might make for an interesting SBS tasting . I also have another EC18 from last year's release in The Bunker somewhere.  Thoughts?  Edited March 20, 2022 by GeeTen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I will be interested to hear your thoughts Frank, as I picked one up but gave it to my brother. If another comes available and you say it is good I just may have to pick one for myself.     1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM818 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I see one sitting on the shelf for $267. I keep hearing it’s average. Bottled in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I remember when the news came out that EC18 was going to be temporarily discontinued. Shortly after, I surprisingly saw one on the shelf for $57.99. I passed. Â Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauiSon Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Before the news of temporary discontinuation, I bought the last 3 bottles at a store near the Polynesian Cultural Center for $35 each (two from the same barrel). I thought, $35 for an 18 yo? No brainer. Still haven't put it into the rotation, tho - ha ha  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig. C. Hively Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hi. Guys. I find the Elijah Craig 18 year. Very underwhelming The lower Proof. Just seems to leave me wondering. Why. Did I buy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggJ Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Any info on the fall release?  I've been striking out on this seasons LE's so I may end up shifting some of the budget for this to sip on through the holidays.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I just got one that was bottled 9/26/22 barrel 6076. It came from the North Carolina region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz June Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 These seem to be relatively plentiful this year. Been seeing a lot of them, albeit marked up to $200-250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here as well. I ended up grabbing a bottle for MSRP $149. Hoping some of the Wellers and allocated goodies start popping up soon  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTen Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) $150/btl from my friends up north in the "Live Free or Die" state (so someone beat me up for a buck a bottle).  Edited December 2, 2022 by GeeTen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 $150 in Ohio. Friend snagged one for me, we'll give it a try. I was hesitant. Not much of heavy oak guy. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G L Tirebiter Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 $199.99 in PA.  I've seen it a few times recently but passed due to the numerous lukewarm reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
