Bout to join you with that one Beard!


Despite mixed reviews on the web, I love it and think its exceptional, especially for its price point.

Did a side-by-side with this and the ETL 90 last night. The 90 is my favorite $30/bottle pour: it's rich, full-bodied, nice sweetness and caramel coming through above all.

The 93 has a cleaner finish but packs a solid punch with more spice...the extra heat brings a nice burn at the end without overdoing it. That extra 1.5% alcohol goes a long way, but it's almost velvety to an extent.

If you come across a bottle, don't pass it up (unless BX or someone is gouging out of control).

Yea it worked out well...I just went and bought two bookers and shipped them off rather than having to let go of the few I have. So I really got the AE for close to msrp...and it's signed...although it would have been better if it was the dad. Now I will feel ok opening the unsigned one one day.

I can't wait to pick up my etl93 to have a taste!

you made out great!
What was the best way to pack and move all your bottles? I am about to have to pack up 25-30 bottles.

Most of mine I had just been stock piling at my office where all my other stuff is now packed. The ones I moved from my house to where im staying now I moved in divided booze boxs. All my bottles are in those kind of divided boxs. If you wanted you could probably get a few wraps of bubble wrap around the bottles before putting them on those boxs.

How are you transporting them....do you have to fly/ship them or they just getting packed in a moving truck? I would at least bubble wrap each one if it was packed in a bin like that. I would honestly try to go to your local boozemart and get some of those divided boxs so you can pack it all up and tape the lid closed.
