So, whatcha drinkin?

Absinthe, La Berthe de Joux and Sauvage 1804. The Sauvage 1804 is made with wild wormwood, collected by a local farmer around Pontarlier, in the foothills of the Jura mountains.

Paul, I like your style.

pdmtong just won the internet for today. I'm thinking about packing my bag and heading over to raid his cabinet. Mmmm, Kentucky Bourbon...

[FlashUNC]

Cmon Paul. Post the good stuff.

Nice pdmtong! I haven't had the 2017 SBBP. I think I like the bottle change. Good stuff?

I was into this dusty one after dinner. Do you know the significance of the vintage?

These bottles are not easily found out here. The #14 release 2017 EC SBBP is 62% so pretty hot neat (duh) but with a capful of water it is delicious. I like it much more than the release #6 or #4 which I had prior. The new bottle seems more elegant.

As for the wellers I can't get used to the new bottle yet. It doesn't matter since I don't see them on the shelf around here ever.

At least if I want Pliny i can go get my case(s) direct. $28 weller 12 is a unicorn here

I've only heard of that 1996 Evan Williams. What is the back story ?

On the Weller, I'm with you. I still don't care for the new bottle shape. Same for when they changed the Old Rip bottles. Not that it really matters since the days of $24 fifths of 10y 107 ORVW are well in the rearview and I'm not working hard or paying dearly for it. I do like the new ECBP bottle, though.

I've had the pleasure of drinking from many bottles of that ECBP 140.2 batch. It was a great dump. Enjoy it.

The "put in oak" 1996 Evan Williams was the last one before the fire.

I just ran out for some miscellaneous Three Floyds to have on hand for a friend in this weekend from Philly where it's not distributed.

I like the look of this! We don't get it here either but I've been able to get some while visiting friends in Ohio

I've only had Three Floyds once - delicious. The fire...oh, right. forgot about that.
That's my last ECBP 140.2 I might have been jaded at the time since it was more easily obtained. I just bunkered it figuring it will be good to open down the road.
Here's to the old bottles. Hard to believe you could just buy it off the shelf at will. I met a guy who paid $300 for one.

Tasty.
