I had the C919 batch, the one that was pushing 140 proof. It was amazing, and just a little dangerous. The ones I've had since, I haven't liked as much.Picked up a Weller Full Proof, a Larceny Barrel Proof, an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and limited edition bottle of Bardstown tonight on my way to the fencing club.
Sipping the EC and it is pretty hot, even after melting an ice cube in the glass.
What do the ecbp bottles look like. The last one I saw with an age statement was one of the old "pirate" bottles.Found myself in Jamestown Tennessee and then I found myself in the only liquor store in Jamestown Tennessee, called ironically, Jamestown Liquors................oh the marketing genius involved here.
Wanted to try something new and chose this, I'll let ya know.
Sparky and Jfed, I also found a couple of bottles of ECBP that were labeled respectively, 8 years (133 proof) and 9 years (128 proof). I've never seen this before and was wondering if this was truly something special or just a HH marketing ploy, either way $134 plus 10% sales tax.

Kinda like the regular ECBP bottles, but with the age statement and proof in lower, right hand portion of the label IIRC.What do the ecbp bottles look like. The last one I saw with an age statement was one of the old "pirate" bottles.
Ya...The last bottle I got I paid 79.99 for. But it has a 12 year age statement on it. Not sure what's up with those, or the price...I'm out too.Kinda like the regular ECBP bottles, but with the age statement and proof in lower, right hand portion of the label IIRC.
Did ya miss the $134 part?......................I'm out! lol
If it looks like the top pic it's just a barrel pick, if it's the lower picture which I've only seen say 12 I would be in.Kinda like the regular ECBP bottles, but with the age statement and proof in lower, right hand portion of the label IIRC.

Elijah Craig store BP picks Ive been seeing everywhere on the secondary market pages from 100 up to 150. Never had one but all SiB picks are unique in there own way. As said above C919 is a really good batch ive been kind of upset with the last few releases even A122 does not compare. Pic of my last C919Yup, top pic in Bighoss' post (#3127), so I'm assuming if I weren't afraid to touch the bottles, I would've clearly seen they were a store pick.
I've had a few ECBPs and have never seen a store/barrel pick.
Thanks for all the help swigmasters, I knew I was in the right crowd to get this mystery solved.
FYI,that Pardi Batch 112 is an intense maple syrup BOMB!
Cheers.
Nice surprise at Meijer...I was going to pick this up regardless of price.
