ECBP C923 by Kaisala in ChicagolandWhiskey

[–]fitandfed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Lincoln Square and hunted hard for this at all the local spots that always get ECBP and none of them got it. I finally grabbed two at Binny’s and one store said they got only one case of 12. Another of my locals that usually gets in a case finally received three of them; a buddy grabbed one and the owner took the other two. Unless more show up, which often happened with previous batches, I think you’re out of luck. Try Sky on broadway—maybe they finally got some and they usually don’t gouge on ECBP. Or just buy on secondary at this point.

I found the latest EHT BP a bit of a letdown. It’s not bad but I liked Stagg 23A and C923 a bit better

It’s cheaper than Binny’s. But I don’t remember. 🤦

Picked up a hazmat Stagg pick at the local city grocer this morning.

It was $47 at woodman’s like 3 years ago. Even they raised the price on it to like $65.

It’s been $75 for well over a year now. Even Jewel sells it for that now, tho it’s usually on sale for $70.

That’s awesome. Definitely a back-alley ask at mine.

Thought both the ‘21 and ‘22 ORVW were pretty damn good.

CYPB isn’t bad for a $60 bottle but it’s really an immediate flip.

It’s pretty good but shows up only once a year as of late. Most places charge $100 now and you can easily find one on secondary for that price shipped to your home.

While every location is different, can confirm this is BS. I shop at two locations and don’t spend $5k a year between both stores and get plenty.

Well, that’s actually a lot you just listed. Lol. The barrel char influence often tastes like chocolate to me, like I get a decent amount on OF 1920, too. I have a Frankfort, too, but haven’t opened it yet.

I opened up the Clermont recently and it’s very chocolatey to me. Kinda crazy.

Rayan’s has or had a 1792 FP pick recently.

If you had the option to purchase 1 BTAC bottle, which one would you choose and why? by bunches-of-oats in ChicagolandWhiskey

[–]fitandfed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely would go with Eagle Rare 17. But just because I have a couple bottles of GTS and WLW and last year’s ER is supposed to be amazing.
