I put in for 4-6, however, this isn't my flavor profile...so I will step aside for those who like it.
I feel the same way.

But has any one actually had 17 year single barrel Uncut/Unfiltered Dickel?

We may be surprised?

How was the Balcones BP SiB Rye?

Has anyone ever had Early Times 100 Proof BiB?

It looked like an interesting bottle so I bought it.

Super interesting. I am not a fan of the Balcones funk but that whiskey is about as complex as it gets.

I would rank it high but wouldn't buy a bottle.

Great to hear gents. It doesn't come to my stores in Central Texas often. Decided to try it out.

Early Times seems to be getting more scarce at my store so I'm going to go on record and say it's bad and no one should buy it.

Right there with you on another bottle. The biggest drawback to me was it's massive charred oak note. Just too much oak for my taste.

Even though I'm not a fan of that particular bottle, I'm still interested in trying both their Rumble and the 100% Corn (True Blue?).

One person's opinion, but I did not care for the Balcones Blue Corn. The Single Malt was the only Balcones product I would drink again.

Did the Single Malt have a massive oak note?

Also, what was it about the Blue Corn that you didn't like?

Random stop at the Costco liquor store in Humble resulted in finding these two on the shelf.

Eagle Rare and WB liquor's half bottle of single barrel select Buffalo Trace - a nice little surprise indeed!

I had some ECBP at a bar the other day.

Man, that stuff is as good as it gets hyped up to be on here.

That is why you never see it on the shelf.

It is an intense and unique flavor bomb, but the oak itself is light.

It's easily my favorite pour that isn't crazy expensive/allocated. I've still never bought one off a shelf, have gotten them all in trades/cash from folks on this thread.

I would think that a Blanton's or another hard to find BP (like Larceny or FR) would be a fair straight up trade. You could also bundle a EHT SmB and something like ER or McKenna and I would consider that a fair trade as well. Depends on what the person on the other end of the trade is looking for.

Let me know if you are looking to trade the B520, I'd be interested.

Decided to walk into the Twin Liquors on a whim. Guy said all they had was ER and nothing else allocated in stock. Didn't find any picks on the shelves, so I said you know what, I'll take the ER.

Turns out it was a ER Single Barrel Select for TL.

This is my first store pick in my collection!

We went to The Republic about a week and a half ago and I did their Mash Madness. For those that may not be aware, they make a bracket, bring you glass A and glass B. They told me it was a 2 seed vs a 3 seed that night. Tasted glass A first and could tell it was a high proof bourbon but it was phenomenal. Glass B was good. Smooth but very obviously not near the proof as B.

I chose A. It was ECBP. B was Whistle Pig Old World. They show you the route each has taken to get there. This was the Sweet 16. ECBP beat Jack Daniels 24 to 5 in the first round (lol at 5 people picking JD. Probably didn't like the high proof). 2nd round it edged out Buffalo Trace 13 to 11.

I love the idea of Mash Madness. I have participated a few times this year. I have gone with the majority each time I've participated.
