Jumpin' Jehovah's Witness Tim!...That looks like a liquor store! No Scratch that...liquor stores aren't stocked that well.Originally Posted by TNbourbon
Man, I'm getting thirsty looking at these. I have visions of my basement being stocked like this, but then I realize it would be painful to die by my wife's hands (which still might happen if she finds out how much I REALLY have).Originally Posted by TNbourbon

When I look at parts of Tim's shelves it reminds me how liquor store shelves looked circa 1978 when I shopped in Plattsburgh, NY on sojourns from Montreal. Wish I knew then what I know now, I'd have bought by the case (Michter's Pot Still, I.W. Harper, anything from S-W, Ezra Brooks which was Medley whiskey then, ND OG, etc.).
Oh well at least some bottles are still around and we have generous souls (Tim most so I would say) who bring them to Gazebos to taste.
I have to say though (and I know Tim would agree) possibly the most selfless single Gazebo contribution was from Roger Hodges who sent an old Old Overholt by delivery to a Gazebo he could not attend and this is without ever having met any of the East Coast contingent (or any SB-ers I believe at that point). Amazing generosity, and it was a great bottle, too.

Here's to Roger.

Really gonna miss that old Russels Reserve after I kill it this weekend. Haven't tried the new one but I don't think it will be as good as I really liked the older one.

I really like the Rock Hill Farms bottle.... It's in my top 5 bottles to bring back from the US![]()
These are some of my Blanton's bottles that I have managed to come by.
The first picture has from left to right:
Straight From the Barrel
Silver
Regular
Green
The second picture has from left to right:
Black
Gold
Red...(Didn't even know this existed. It's only a 500ml and it has some type of Asian writing on the back)
Tan...(Another I didn't know existed. It's normal size and has the same proof as the regular, but the label is a lot lighter than the regular. This one also has some type of Asian writing on the bottle)
Timothy, what is that bottle with the big 16 on it?Originally Posted by barturtle
