anyone have the NuNu's pick Elijah Craig yet?

I poured this before I even saw your question

I don’t have one, but honestly I have 3 8 yr ECBP picks and I’m not blown away by any of them. I would definitely want to try one before buying one, but realistically if I’m going back to NuNu’s and they have this Barrell pick that I had as my FPD it’s very likely I’m just buying another one of those. If you don’t have one, you should. I’m almost done my second one, and will likely buy another if they still have any next week

Any good stores to bourbon hunt around Houma and Thibodeaux?

---

S&P gas station on the east side, Cannata’s, St Charles Rouses, only places I really check in Houma. Thibodaux has Bayouside which has a Yellowstone and Rebel store pick out and gets random really good stuff on occasion, the only rouses that’s sometimes good is epicurean, but rouses has went to bundling anything decent into gift baskets apparently I was told their BT new pick will be put into gift baskets, whatever that means. Donny pulls all of the high end bottles for his marine accounts and friends apparently, I haven’t walked into a Rouses in a month or so.

Was in the mood for swine

Glad you like that Boondocks. Taste is subjective, I think it is one of the worst bottles I’ve bought in the past few years. It’s up there with Heavens Door on bad purchases for me.

Question for someone with more knowledge, I have two bottles of JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof, the bottles are from two different barrels a few apart. They both have the same exact proof, 130.07. My understanding is these barrels go straight to the bottle, is the proof just a coincidence? Thought it was strange the proof is the same down to the .xx.
