I’d take one as well if you come across that many but I think third to the party is a little late

Last year, if I was a little more on the ball, I could have had one (or more if I got creative) at $90 and one or two at $70. I only ended up with the one at $90. This year, who knows, but I will send a proxy if that's what it takes to get an extra.I’d take one as well if you come across that many but I think third to the party is a little late

Ooooo, anybody want in?
Curious as to the price, the last EC private barrel at my local was just over $100....

If you’d be willing to get me one and bring it to next week’s tasting at New Riff, I’d love one!
Scratch that…just realized you’re not participating in the barrel tasting/group buy. I’m getting confused far too easily these days

He got 12x12, 144 bottles. Around here that will last a while. There are a few bourbon hounds, but not like the some of the major metro areas where you have to camp out just to get a chance at an ECBP.
I cracked the bottle open to let it breathe a little. After dinner tonight I'll do my sampling, and compare it to some ECBPs I have open and sitting around. I'll be sure to report back. My guy Ami (short for Amrinder) says it's the highest proof store pick they've let out of the warehouse. Take that for what it's worth, but I'd need evidence to back that one up.

OK, so the Private Barrel 132.7 proof. I had a drink earlier. Then somehow my allergies kicked up this evening, which happens maybe once every 5 or 10 years (when they kick up at night). So that interrupted me.
It's 132.7 proof, so it's ethanol heavy, and you have to expect that. I immediately sample smelled my first pour and it was very ethanol heavy. Then I let it sit for a few minutes and sample smelled again. It was amazing. I got leather and mahogany with just a hint of sweetness. I'm not well versed in high end bourbons at all, so take it for what it's worth, but it's a top five bouquet for me all time, maybe top two. It's what I imagine one of those Magnus Cigar Blend bourbons would smell like if I ever had some. Just fantastic.
I took my first sip, did the Kentucky Chew, and immediately forgot the results. It drank hot, as expected. Subsequent sips were also hot, but not as bad. The flavor profile reminded me a lot of other ECBP. Unfortunately, my best way to communicate that is to compare, and I didn't get a chance to do that before my nostrils plugged up. I'm only 90-95% recovered from Covid anyway. I'll tackle it again tomorrow. Any requests of which ECBP I compare it to? I have A119, and everything from A121 to A122. My default test will be vs A122 if nobody chimes in otherwise.

Was going to do 4 blinds with an answer key. Anyone else interested?

I can return a blind flight or let you pick from what I have in the collection based off of your preferences.

Only good thing about being in Ohio for a wedding.
Two of my favorites, head to head. I wish that I could find the EHT Rye for $80. I wish that I could find the EHT Rye for $120.
Ohhh. I’ll be in Ohio next weekend for a baseball tournament. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled
I'll ask my guy today if he knows.
doesn't count if you don't take a picture of the bottle in your crotch in the car like some kind of ersatz dick pic
You’ve discovered my secret! Any left in the store?

Haha that’s a good one.
I had to ask. It doesn’t ALWAYS sell out in minutes.

That boggles my mind.
I got to Kroger at 8:50 and was roughly 20-25th in line. There were 3 bottles left on the shelf when I checked out. Still the only time I’ve seen 107 on a shelf.
