Cantillon Grand Cru Bruocsella

This is the most / only underrated Cantillon.

This is the most / only underrated Cantillon.

Largely because it tastes so long to taste good. I've had bottles six years past cork date that were clearly not yet ready.

Oh yeah. My bad. It is terrible.

it makes it stateside. it's a strange bottle in that it's not especially rare, but there's really only two kinds of people that have it:

1) real lambic heads that know exactly what they have and are purposely aging it for flavour development for a long time. without a stupid offer, you're not likely to pry it from these people.
2) people who saw 'hey, a cantillon!' and pick it up, expecting to pull whales. i would expect GCB to actually trade from these people for something like HF growlers, or, really, anything a 'shelf' loon trades for.

I traded a fresh one for a Bligh's Barleywine once, no ragrets
