50/50 Eclipse futures announced (2012)

This'll be my first experience with 50/50 eclipse. I ordered 2 of each EC and Old Fitz!

 

Soo...it looks like there is still some EC12, Old Fitz, and Rye still left. I think I might have to order a some of the EC12 and Rye.

 

My first also. Never had it. I got a rebel yell and rye

 

That's what I thought.

 

No problem here. I'm one of those upward mobility types who got out of CA, yet still has identification.

 

No Brandy barrels available this year... We rejected around 40 barrels as well just not up to our standards for aging in(of the bourbon barrels we got).

 

all the way back on March 25th...

Bummer and cool, a mixed bag. I hope in the future they (barrels) will be up to snuff. But good to know yall didn't just decide to forego the Brandy altogether.

It still amazes me how much I loathe Brandy, yet you're able to take some Totality, throw it in a brandy barrel, age, blend: Viola! Masterpiece of flavor and aroma ensues.

Hopefully my 2010 & 11 Brandy stashes will survive until 2013 Brandy Eclipse.

 

I really thought Old Fitz would have sold out already, Anyone else?

 

yea for real, i thought it was gonna be the first to go! must be making alot maybe? or maybe people dont know that was the original eclipse?


Todd, any chance the people that went up to the release will have first right to refusel to go again?? ive been thinking about it since december 9th haha

 

The three tier distribution system....happens every time!

 

"So you're saying there's a chance?" Hoping to make the Rebel Yell this time!

​

We'd like to say a huge Thank You to all of the beer fans out there for making this such an exciting time, and also for your persistence with ordering!​

We've had a chance to go through and clean up all of the orders in the system, and it turns out that there were enough duplicates to allow us to re-release a very limited number of the three varieties that sold out on the first day (Eclipse™ aged in Rebel Yell®, Evan Williams®, and Bernheim Wheat® barrels). To make sure that the process is fair and everyone gets an equal shot at them, those three styles will be available on Monday, April 23 at 8:00am Pacific time. So for those of you who missed the first go around - be sure to set your alarm! Of course, futures for the other three styles (Eclipse aged in Elijah Craig® 12, Rittenhouse® Rye, and Old Fitzgerald® barrels) are still available and you can place an order right now.

Don't forget, the bottle limits will still apply to the total combined order for any given individual... meaning if you have already placed an order for 2012 futures, the bottle limits will be applied to your total of both orders.

Cheers!

 

Anyone have any idea of what shipping tends to run? I'm in Seattle if that helps...Checked the website but couldn't find anything specific.

 

very cool...now i feel like i need to place an order. so much for maturing as a beer geek

 

No shipping out of Cali.

 

Haha, ok I'm an idiot. Guess I'll check and see what the Oregon bottleshops get. I know last year they got the entire line.

 

No they didn't. Buffalo Trace wasn't distributed anywhere, even though they didn't advertise that ahead of time (I believe they yields were lower than expected, I heard that they couldn't even fulfill all the futures orders for it).

 

find somebody to mule for you.

looks like I'll need to try and stay awake after getting home monday morning. I wonder if their server will crash out again...

 

5 of each, booooyaaaa!

 

Oh, ok. Well, most were available at bottleshops in OR with maybe an exception or two.
