Empty Bottle Support Group Spring '09

[cowdery]

I finished off an Old Charter 10 and a VOB BIB here recently. Been drinking whiskey sours for some reason. JTS Brown BIB is up next. I like 100 proof for mixing. (I know the OC wasn't 100-proof, but it was handy.)

VWFRR

Sux. I miss it already. Was looking at that last pour for over a month and finally did it.

[fishnbowljoe]

My bottle of ETL bid a fond farewell tonight. Good to the last drop. Joe

[ILLfarmboy]

Killed what was left of a bottle of Weller Antique tonight. The last pour I had with a brownie. MMMMM good.

[JamesW]

Just killed an Old Fitz BiB. No worries, at $17 it's a best value and available in quantity

[gblick]

A few bottles gave up their last pours over the weekend:

IW Harper Gold Medal 99proof.

OGD114.

WTRR101.

[Lost Pollito]

Killed a jb black and a tiny final poor of aaa.

[jburlowski]

Emptied a bottle of FRSB 120. This one's been around for a long time and I'd forgotten about it. Definitely FR, with strong florals and sweet yeasty notes.

[funknik]

Downed the last of a Rare Breed I've been working regularly on for the past month or so. I had forgotten I liked it so much & I bought two more bottles to bunker in the meantime, so there's more awaiting me.

[DeanSheen]

VW 10/107

I have another left. Still making my mind up on this one. I like it better than OWA 7/107 but I dont think I'm in love, maybe I'm in mild like.

[independant]

Buffalo Trace I am glad its easy to get another bottle.

[JamesW]

Weller SR. Top value in my book. Paid $14. Sometimes difficult to get though as they get scooped up rather quickly.

[funknik]

Killed off the Weller Antique . . . maybe a WLWSR to replace it? Or open the last Antique in the bunker and wait till I make another trip to MA to restock?

:skep:

[Stones]

A squat ORVW 10yo came to a sudden end this last week but fortunately his brother was on hand to take over... i'll post details of the laying to rest later if anyone is interested...

[callmeox]

Probably going to kill off a half bottle of AAA 10 year tonight.

(not that impressive actually....it's a 200ml)

[Pieface]

Elijah Craig 12 gave up his last gasp. I wasn't enjoying the latter stages of this bottle very much...then I twigged I had started drinking out of my glencairn that had recently arrived. Switched back to my curvy low-ball for the last pour...ahh! That's better!

Not sure if that's a crystal vs glass interaction or what but a remarkable difference in the flavour of the bourbon! That trick is going in my tasting notes for EC12!

[B3Nut]

My regular bottle of Weller SR gave up its last 2 and a half ounces in a Manhattan tonight. It was quite tasty.

[gothbat]

Finished off my handle of ND OGD:BIB. I don't really enjoy the current OGD expressions that much but this stuff drinks like premium bourbon! Sucks, I have another but I can't remember if the tax strip broke before or after I bought it (This is the first thing I look at with an older bottle like that and I don't think it was broken when I bought it but when I got home I couldn't remember specifically checking that one... :/ ) so I'll probably never drink it. Maybe if I leave it open it can serve as an air freshener or something... :/

[BourbonJoe]

Just finished off a bottle of Four Roses Mariage. It was excellent stuff, albiet a little bit pricey at $70.00.

Joe :usflag:

[dts]

I've got a couple of drinks left in my bottle of Bookers, I save it for special nights, made an old fashioned with it the other day WOW.

[smokinjoe]

Buh bye, to an ER 10yr 101...

[fishnbowljoe]

Joe, :usflag: I know it's the Memorial Day weekend, but I can swear I hear taps playing off in the distance. :usflag: You've laid to rest some pretty good soldiers lately. Keep fighting the good battle. Joe

[B3Nut]

Finally killed the KC. Going to fill the vacant spot with a rye, I think....

[JamesW]

Another ORVW 10/107 gone. What a great whiskey this one is - a great value. I have 3 bunkered and none in the acquisition pipeline. I hope MA gets more soon.

[fishnbowljoe]

Had the last pour from a bottle of Binny's Weller 12. If I had been a few minutes faster earlier today, I would have had one to replace it. I have one in the bunker, but it's not from Binny's. Joe
