I forgot about that, Scott. I actually wrote them a question about it because of the advance sale saying 20 yo and the box or City Beer or somebody said that the whiskey was actually the EC 18 yo. The white wax one is extremely good, whatever was in the cask before the Eclipse.
They did EC 18 two better and made a 20yr, which is probably the standout for me without looking back at notes.

I received some shipments this year and can do the same. Hopefully I can look at the futures link before it's past!
Thanks everyone. This thread will be as much celebrating as I get today because of work madness, but it is great to check in and see all the warm good wishes. I'm lucky to have so many friends here. Delaying any other celebration -- including cocktails, sadly -- until Friday. Fill in for me tonight, OK?
Catching up a little:
Really nice looking pizza, Ric, but damn you only made that one little green spot for the lovely nursing mother?!
Excellent score!
Pics, people, pics!
x 27, although a Manhattan and cookies sounds pretty fun.
OH. MY. GOD. *faints*
Jim and Peter, glad that all is well and that you have a new big truck to drive. And congrat to each of you on your victories.
Haj, that sounds awful and I think I would find a replacement to do my root canal. I have had a few of them and it is painful before they are done. I hope it gets resolved soon.
Congrats to Tom and Mrs. Buttons!
