ND Faux stamped OGD 86 gave up it's last butterscotchy rum pour tonight. Good to the last drop!
Finished up a bottle of 10' WLW
Had to put the last pour through a coffee filter as there was a bit of barrel char and sediment at the bottom of the bottle
You filtered it ?!?! You're kidding me, right?!?! :crazy:Quote:

I'm with Tico. If a coffee filter blocks passage, I don't need it in my body. The only whiskeys that seem to need this are the three unfiltered BTACs.Quote:

If I want the last pour to be as good as the ones that came before it, I use a coffee filter.
Yum, the last grit filled pour from a Stagg or WLW is my most cherished one. The more shtuff at the bottom, the better. Grind it around on my teeth. Give's 'em a good polish. :D I like my juice with the pulp in it...too...;)
I finished off a 2010 WLW this week as well. After getting a very bitter pour from my last couple ounces of a Thomas H. Handjob Unfiltered Straight Rye, I strained the char out. I don't mind that it's in there, but by the time I killed the bottle it was like a black sludge. Also, this time around I tried to remember to swirl the bottle a little before pouring so I could distribute the char more evenly across the whole bottle. Stupendous!
