Yeah it went really fast they had a few cases of it and i grabbed the first one then everyone started to realize what it was and it all disapeared. They limited it to one which was nice so turds did not buy a case and resell for 4 times the price on facebook bourbon pages.Helluva pick up Sparky!
That JD Barrel Proof Rye is one delicious unicorn.
Congrats!
I have not had it yet and its the only Elijah Craig not in my collection besides the obvious 23 year old unicorn. Everytime its on a bourbon menu at a restraunt or bar I try to get a pour and it is always sold out....I found a bottle of the EC Toasted Barrel and wasn’t too impressed. The Barrel Proof is much better.
I only read mashbills and proofs.Just started a book some of you may enjoy...Pappyland by Wright Thompson. Just a few chapters in so far, but seems like an interesting look inside the world of Kentucky bourbon.
I’ve wanted to try the Sazerac. The best rye I’ve had so far has been the JD Special Release barre proof.Grabbed a couple of bottles I've never had before for a long weekend.
Happy Independence Day to all.
Cheers. View attachment 146586

I've had both now and that JD stuff is in a different league IMHO.I’ve wanted to try the Sazerac. The best rye I’ve had so far has been the JD Special Release barre proof.
Yeah I grabbed those on a Bourbon trading facebook page for a tad over retail. I really could not pass up the deal as I really like EC.I see multiple bottles of EC 18.

The Sazerac is decent, especially for 30ish bucks.
Hey Sparky, not very easy pacing your consumption on that bottle is it? lol.
