Empty Bottle Support Group 2011

Well, I thought I'd start a new thread since it is 2011. :grin:

I've been diligently trying to finish some of the bottles I have open. Sometimes it's tough. There are a few bottles I don't want to finish because they aren't the greatest. But......., sometimes it's exactly the opposite. There are bottles that I don't want to finish because I want to savor them. I want to keep them around and hold on to them as long as I can. I expect most of you know what I mean. I finished one of each when I got home from work today.

I got home from work today and first reached for a bottle of Forty Creek Barrel Select Canadian Whisky. Much to my surprise, there wasn't much more than a sip left. Down the hatch. Yes, I drank it straight from the bottle. :grin: Why I don't know, but next my eyes fell upon a bottle of ER 101 Lawrenceburg. :rolleyes: What the heck. There was only a small pour left in it too. This I did not chug. I poured it into a Glencairn and really took my time enjoying it right down to the very last drop. :yum:

So there you have it. A bottle of Forty Creek Canadian, and an ER 101 Lawrenceburg hit the recycle bin today. Hey, I'm down to under 30 open bottles now. :woohoo: Joe

Two more down. Bottles of HH 6yr BIB, and Rittenhouse Rye 23 yr old are now in the recycle bin. Joe

.... and a Kahn's RHF, and a bottle of Death's Door Wheat Whiskey. Isn't anyone else finishing bottles? I feel like I have my own personal thread. :rolleyes: Cheers! Joe

I'll play Joe this weekend I killed a very good bottle of Blanton's and a VOB that you gave me.

Barton BIB joined joined the recycle lot.

Pappy Lot B The search for another begins

Maker's 46, Binny's ETL, and GTS 09 all gave up their last pours this week.

Makers and Forty Creek Barrel Select hit the recycle bin this weekend.

One bottle on Friday: OC 10, for $20 hard to beat. Tonight: ORVW 10/90, a great daily pour, glad I have more bunkered!
