    They are starting to release these at various Binny's in the Chicago area now. 5 variants at $30 each. Glen Ellyn and Downers Grove have them today.

    I'll wait till more reviews come for these guys before I drop $30 a bottle, I was pretty underwhelmed by most of them last year. The Elijah Craig 18 however was fantastic.

    doubt i'll be dropping the scratch on one of these. 30 bucks is a lot for a single bottle, and i've already bought so much bourbon county in the past few months that i can't justify such a purchase

    And it would be hard to buy just one -- gotta compare one against the other! I too passed after spending 400 bucks on Bourbon County the past few months....

    I bought all 5. We shall see how they are. I also bought a couple cases of BCS but wanted to check out these as well.

    Eclipse, the thinnest BA stout north of $30. I'll save my $ for BCBS cases.

    Was at WLV yesterday off the facebook post that they had them. Went in and got the shady "I don't know what you're talking about, maybe in the next couple weeks." Made me sad :slight_frown:. I guess I wasn't cool enough.

    I'd rather spring the extra $5 and get a case of Zombie Dust. Or better yet, like 3 bottles of classic gueuze, girardin black label, or 3F oude gueuze online.
