Just curious what CBS is going for these days? I know it's losing a little flavor, but still pretty tasty. Any recent trades for this?
I don't know what it trades for now-a-days, but As your lawyer, i would strongly advise you not to trade for it.
For what it's worth, I think there is lots of bottle variation with this one. I'm in Canada and have a nice pitch black cool basement (~60F) which my bottles have spent 99% of their lives in. The last bottle I opened was still drinking great, a bit less maple but I though there was a tad too much sweetness/maple a year+ ago, so I still am enjoying it. I have another bottle that I plan on opening probably in the spring...
Agreed. I keep bottles in a wine cellar, and have opened multiple bottles of CBS over the past few years. Even in ideal storage conditions, they varied from Fine to Excellent. The most recent bottle was close to the Excellent end of the spectrum, but hard to say if that's because we're at a sweet spot age-wise, or if I just lucked out. Two bottles left, probably will open one over the holidays to see how we're doing.
There was crazy bottle variation when it came out. Just as bad as KBS. No surprise that 2 years later there is still bottle variation.
