+1 for the Single Barrel. $37 at Sams and is my new favorite.I love Four Roses! I got to visit their distillery and tried one of their bottles from like 2015 or 16? It was very good.
I like ECBP over Toasted Barrel.I was at Sam’s Club at 9 AM this morning searching for Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. Went to the bourbon area and none to be found. Next stop was Costco which opened at 10 AM, but my wife had to return something to a store over at Southport and Emerson. That store also opened at 10 AM, so once we finished there we headed to Costco.
I went down the bourbon aisle and once again, nothing. My wife said she was going to head to the produce area, but I saw an employee down at the end cap stocking something, so I said I wanted to check it out. As I got closer I saw the boxes said “Elijah Craig Barrel Proof” on the side. He handed me the first bottle and I was a happy man!View attachment 258325
I always understood that 125 proof was the limit for bourbon.Bought the Bookers back when it was right at 50$. Today I opened one of them. Its the lowest proof I have at 128, have one over 130.

The max entry proof into the barrel is 125. The proof goes up as it ages and can be bottled at the higher proof.I always understood that 125 proof was the limit for bourbon.
Don't judge me bro! I'm making up for lost time in my youth.According to my Doc, 2 oz. a day is good for your good cholesterol count. Only 2 ozs.!
Found some at Sam's in Columbus yesterday for $42.99. Thought it was a great deal. The last I saw was $59.99 at a liquor store.The shiny new Meijer store on Nappanee Street in Elkhart has Buffalo Trace handle for $43. That's pretty tough to beat.
