I bought 2 Kroger Private Barrel Picks: an 8 yr 119.9 proof and a 9 yr 112.8 proof. They were both almost exactly as you described. They did open up after a couple of weeks, and each bottle was pretty delicious at the very end. I have 2 batch bottles that I have not yet opened, a B521 and B523. I'm looking forward to comparing them.
My first ECBP was A123 and it had a tannic oak I was not a fan of 😢so i add Larceny Barrel Proof a123 and it came out amazing 😅
Lol I made the exact same play: arrived waaaay too early at the first store, picked up the four roses right when they opened and stopped at the second store that had this EC private barrel; I already have a 10 yr EC private barrel pick at home though so I went with 1792 Full Proof cause they're impossible to get at retail in DC. Loving the reviews!
I’ve had several store picks of the ECBP, and all are good, but some are better. I found a 10 year old store pick in Kentucky that was 135.4 proof and it is phenomenal. Revisit this one in two weeks, it should be better then. Great video.
I just picked one of these up last week. Doesn’t sound much like the usual ECBP’s. Sounds youthful but 8 yrs old should be long enough.
Glad to see a fellow Virginian doing some stuff on here. Way to go!
They had two barrel proof options, depending on which location you happened into. First bottle I picked up was the 9 year 118 proof and the second was an 8 year 122 proof version. Wish I was able to grab the 1792 offerings.
The VA ABC EC Private Barrels seem good but do not stand up to many of the regular EC Barrel Proof releases. I imagine this is due to the older age of the Barrel Proof batches. Overall, I enjoy the VA ABC single barrel program and have acquired several good drinkers.
Not all single barrels are created equal, and I have definitely had an Elijah Craig Private Barrel that was not my jam. Cheers
The only drop at the ABC store picks worth anything was the four roses single barrel .. and they ran out of those in like the first 10 minutes. The rest of the barrel picks for the ABC was .. underwhelming .. and not worth the trip to the store... as you found out with that Elijah Craig barrel pick.. is overpriced.. MEH..
I live in VA .. the ABC store system is probably one of the WORST run ABC systems run by ANY state. They even got busted for employee's tiping off when random drops would occure and where. And on top they got butsted AGAIN when they used EXCEL spreadsheets for the random lotery and the same people would win more than one on the same lottery.. a almost statistical imposability.. due to the Microsoft rand() function and the sort they used was like a done by IDIOTS at the ABC lotery... that they where giving almost the same results for each lottery.. so that there tells you the INCREDIBLE INCOMPETANCE AND STUPIDITY OF THE VA ABC SYSTEM.
