I've been informed it's only the Barrel Proof. I'm not an Elijah Craig aficionado and didn't realize the regular Small Batch was different ...the new bottle says Small Batch as well as Barrel Proof, so it's a little confusing. I need to try the lower proof to see if it's more palatable to me.mtarail wrote:Was about to ask the same question.

I would like to change my testimony. Still hunting a Weller 12 but came up empty handed again today. I saw the McKenna 10yr bottled in bond ($34) and it it pretty great. Gonna do a side by side with other 100 proof BIBs - Old Forester & Col EH Taylor to see how it holds up.electrachrome wrote:...I've had the McKenna. very good for the price, maybe a little raw on the finish (more burn than spice), IMO.padelimike wrote: ...I assume you've tried Henry McKenna, also $35.
It is. I actually like the newer NAS compared to the older AS in side by sides that I have done.mtarail wrote:Cheers. The standard Elijah Craig is one of the best value bourbons out there, imo.

10 bottles of Sazerac has more fun potential than one Boss Hogg?63schoeffling wrote:I ended up not entering.... blowing too much money lately.padelimike wrote:still waiting on my results, but in the meantime for Pa People - we got more of the Sazerac 6 Year Old Rye in the online store - $27.99 a bottle, almost 150 came in...63schoeffling wrote:PA lotto up.

I've never either, actually. But 10 bottles is always the right decision over one, ha.padelimike wrote:10 bottles of Sazerac has more fun potential than one Boss Hogg?63schoeffling wrote:I ended up not entering.... blowing too much money lately.padelimike wrote:still waiting on my results, but in the meantime for Pa People - we got more of the Sazerac 6 Year Old Rye in the online store - $27.99 a bottle, almost 150 came in...63schoeffling wrote:PA lotto up.

I think the Green Spot is better and more interesting than the yellow. The lower price point is always welcome too! Heard they're reintroducing the blue/red spots and one/both are supposed to be available in the US this time around.
Stagg Jr is the best barrel proof (uncut/unfiltered) on the market IMO. Absolute steal @ $50/bottle.
If any PA folks spot another round of the Abe Bowman 16' Wheat, would greatly appreciate a bottle being sent out West!
