    I am incredibly excited for December. Conveniently I am getting married in Tahoe that month, so I am planning to stock up on a boat load of Eclipse. From this year's lineup, what are you most excited about?
    • Rittenhouse Rye Bourbon ($20/btl, $10 down, limit 6)
    • Four Roses Bourbon ($20/btl, $10 down, limit 12)
    • High West Bourbon ($22/btl, $11 down, limit 12)
    • Elijah Craig 12-Year Bourbon ($24/btl, $12 down, limit 12)
    • Woodford Reserve Bourbon ($24/btl, $12 down, limit 6)
    • High West Single Malt ($24/btl, $12 down, limit 2, Futures ONLY)
    • Vanilla-Coffee Barrel Blend ($24/btl, $12 down, limit 2, Futures ONLY)
    • Spanish 30-Year Rum ($26/btl, $13 down, limit 2, Futures ONLY)
    Obviously, EC 12 is a must but the Woodford Reserve has definitely piqued my interest...

    Vanilla-Coffee is one of my favorite combinations so here's hoping I can get my hands on some. And I back you with the EC12 as a must, that's one great (yet affordable!) bourbon.

    Can't believe that I neglected to purchase the Futures only bottles while they were up.... The vanilla-coffee in particular sounds great. Just had this past year's Vanilla Eclipse and liked it a lot.

    I'm breathlessly awaiting the extremely rare reasonably priced variant. Very rare, that one. Almost unheard of.

    I wanted the vanilla but they were sold out when I bought them. I am really looking forward to the rye! Futures are the only way to go

    I guess for $20/bottle, the rye would be the affordable one

    Just came across this... Someone also posted a similar thread yesterday. Todd Ashman is leaving Fifty Fifty to return to Flossmoor. 2014 will be the last year with his stamp on Elcipse. Wonder how this will affect future vintages and the tradeability of this year's?

    One that I could actually get my f*cking hands on would be nice. Every time I've thought I had roped one in for a trade it falls through.

    Hit me up in about 5 months. I'm planning to stock up on a ton in December.
