Nope...

Overflow shelf all full. Perhaps I should slow down on purchasing more for a short while.

I haven't even tried most of those! Nice selection sir.

We'll never see Old Carter around here.

That is too bad. While it is expensive, I think the quality is way up there too. May be my favorite to date. Haven't drank the version which is shown on front left yet. 69+% ABV!

 

[Klobberer]

Even at retail, I'd need to hear amazing things.

Barrel proof battle tonight.

Yeah I have a pretty similar palate to this dude. If I had to put the 3 I had last night (all of which were really good) in order, I think it would be:

1 - C920
2 - A120
3 - A121

I think A120 had the best nose of all 3, it was the most aromatic with lots of strong toasted oak, dark cherry and vanilla. C920 was similar but a little lighter and more fruity. A121 had the lightest of the noses, more floral and fruity.

For taste, C920 was the most balanced and similar to the nose. Dark cherry, oak, and hints of dark sweet chocolate. A120 was similar but more on the gritter/grainy darker side. A121 was much lighter and fruity, citrus/apple and nutty, thinner and not as oily as the other two.

I need to see if I can find another bottle of C920.

Oops...2 hours too late. But, at the meetup, maybe you can pry it out of Derek's hands.

Haha no worries, I know of 2 stores that had it recently, I'll have to stop by and check.

Definitely wont be battling the host for it!
All yours if you want it

I'll bring it and see what happens. Gonna be hard to beat the 919 offer though...

Look at all that wasted space -- you could fit another dozen bottles on that shelf!

I got to finally meet @TKEUofM last night. He brought a bottle of Makers 46 to the game. Damn this shit tastes good!

Good drinks and a good game with the NY chips! Just sad that you had that Ace high flush over my King high flush on that double board Omaha pot.

Neck pour....!....!....!

OUTSTANDING. AMAZING. BEST BOURBON I HAVE EVER HAD. Good Lord.

Crushing depth, dark chocolate, cherry, graham,......basically the BEST bourbon I have ever had. I was about to become a rye guy.....but then, THIS tonight.

Got it. Then of course I spy this new Old Forester barrel strength, figured I'm just about out of 1920 so let's give it a try. Owner sees me checking them out and offers a quick taste. OMG this is a good one, had to grab a secone bottle. Going to crack this open later!

My bottle is hot, but fantastic. Full of OF flavor goodness. Hotter than ECBP even around the same 130 proof.

 

[detroitdad]

I could google it, but what fun is that. May I ask what a bottle of OF Barrel Proof goes for? The only local shop that I know of that carries ECBP just upped their prices from 64 bucks to 80 bucks At that price point I'll just keep buying OF 1920

These weren't cheap at $85. Same place has the ECBP for $80 (some other spots have ECBP for $65 but they fly off the shelf and are out of stock within a week). 1920 is a tough value to beat.

$89 for me for a store pick. $111 with our stupid taxes.

ECBP I can get for $70, $90 or so with tax.

Yeah this is a fantastic bottle, 1920 on steroids. Lots of fresh cut green apple on the nose, really unique. The palate has a lot of the standard rich 1920 flavor profile but with a good deal of leather, tobacco and spice to boot. The 130 proof is hot at first sip but it burns off really quick and finishes long and smooth with the oak lingering forever. Awesome store pick, bought 2 and will likely head back for another 2.

Grab one for me!

Gonna try the opposite trade @Klobberer completed:

I have an extra of the excellent ECBP C919 and am looking for an extra of the also excellent C920.

If you have a spare of last year's third release and are looking for the C919, just drop me a line.

Finally getting around to it @ChaosRock
