Rant mode:

One of my best local places changed hands last year. Had a lot of allocated stuff, and most priced very fairly. Used to be able to get super-allocated stuff at a modest markup. Not any more. Full secondary and then some.
Dammit.

And yes, I know that I still have several honey holes with amazing deals and I shouldn’t complain. But this one, while more expensive, was very consistent on scores.

My favorite place went the way of secondary this year too. Makes me sad

Whatcha got to trade?

A ton of different things but I think I'm on a whisky buying moratorium for the moment while I work down some of my recent purchases.

I said that about 15 bottles ago.....

Good idea!

Circling back to @Billy Baroo for inspiration on pour deux.

Did a blind tasting with 6 others. Bunch of COOL dudes, great time. Anyway, we knew the winner would win a bottle, probably something good, but no one knew what. Bottom line, there were 3 of 6 in contention. 1st had 11.5 points, 2nd had 11 points, and 3rd had 10.5 points. Unfortunately, I got 2nd. Kicking myself for scratching my bottle guess on #1 from the correct answer Knob Creek 12 and changed it to Knob Creek SiB Reserve. I felt like it drank hotter!!! Anyway, the lucky winner won a bottle of EHT BP. Super fun, being the cool dude he is, he is going to open it up next time we all meet up. FUN NIGHT!!!

This was a fantastic pour. I think I liked it better than the A batch. I would really need to do a side by side to know for sure. The finish is long and flavorful.

Playing a game with a buddy last night and we got into port charlotte 10. I have spent so much time with fancy bruichladdich bottles lately it is nice to revisit the main line sometimes.

A fantastic bottle!

Definitely my favorite batch over the last two years. Very thankful that I was able to get a backup as well!

A Christmas miracle, gotta run.

Great bottle!

What's the opinion on EC b522?

 

[Saoliver]

What's the opinion on EC b522?

It's very good. Some say the best in a few years. Some say C922 is better. I've really enjoyed the B522 and haven't opened C922 yet.

 

[BruceWayne]

Ok, so grabbing two was a wise move then

 

[Billy Baroo]

What's the opinion on EC b522?

B522 is really good! I’m almost done with my second bottle. While it didn’t wow me from the start like C922 did, the B batch significantly improved to where I’m not sure which batch I like best. Might need to do a blind comparison

 

[BruceWayne]

Great input fellas, thanks
