Empty Bottle Support Group Summer '09

Old Weller Antique and WT Rye.

Really enjoyed the OWA, will try to pick up a handle (or 2) when I am down at the KBF in September.

WT Rye was enjoyable, but I have other Ryes to hit prior to circling back.

It was the first Rye I had since WhiskeyFest 08 and really enjoyed it. On the WT note, I am looking forward to trying a Kentucky Spirit bottled in 06 after I finish up a couple of other bottles.

Just finished off my 1st bottle of Sazerac 18 from the 2008 release...good thing I have a backup.

OGB BIB, always a faithful friend.

Last night I asked the wife if I had time for a drink before supper was ready. As it turned out, I didn't. I finished it, a hefty pour of Baby Saz, afterward. Then, I thought what the heck there's only about four fingers left in the bottle. A couple hours later the bottle was empty and I went off to bed. I guess we had a hell of a storm here last night. It kept the wife up half the night, but I slept like a baby.

[B3Nut]

Sent my bottle of OGD BIB on its way. Might have to regularly stock that one...

Just killed my Handy 2007. Like hot cinnamon candy. It will be missed.

Couldent agree more Chuck, i like it more and more with every bottle!

[Hondo]

Just buried my bottle of Eagle Rare SB 10/90. I really enjoyed this bottle and sure am sorry that it's gone. I'll pick up another one soon!

[ggilbertva]

Polished off a small 200ml of '84 Old Crow 80pf. It's warm here in VA so I wanted something light and delicious and this one fit the bill. Here's a pic of the empty.

[fishnbowljoe]

Had the last pour from a bottle of Weller 12 tonight. Man, I sure finished that one pretty fast. :skep: Joe

[JamesW]

Last night I put down my first bottle of Wathen's. Not a bad pour. I got it for $21 and I can get another for about $23 now so I think it will be replaced. I also killed an ORVW 10/107 which was fantastic as usual. Only 2 more bunkered... starting to rethink this one as the prices have gone through the roof @ $39.99/750ml. I used to get this for $28 when I stocked up a case.

Had company in over the weekend so several bottles took a hit. To the recycle bin went:

Lot B

Ritt Bib

Weller Cent

Handy

Antique

Guess it's time to go shopping again. I need som ER and 4RSmB but I've been wanting a Blantons for some time also.

[unclebunk]

I had to bid farewell to bottles of Ancient Ancient Age 10, Pappy 15 and Rare Breed this past weekend. Lots of grins drinking 'em though, so I don't mind. Will slowly start in on my bottle of WT12 CGF but will hit the OGD114 at full throttle.

[fishnbowljoe]

Finished off a couple of odds and ends I had open. Said bye bye to a 1992, 200 ml of Old Fitz Prime, and a 375 Old Forester Repeal. Joe

Maybe more to come. :skep:

[callmeox]

Recent empties (the last couple of weeks) are 200's of Heaven Hill 6yo BiB and gold label BIB, a 200 of Very Old Barton, the last two pours of a Curtis/Hightower FRSB and a WTKS pewter top.

What did you think of the Repeal Joe? I had one bottle and i think it was the worst tasting whiskey ive ever bought! It had an extreame licorish taste that i thought was gross, i let other ppl finish it for me, at least i got a free glencairn out of it

[fishnbowljoe]

Jon, I thought the Old Forester Repeal was okay. Not great. Not bad, but an okay pour. I got a medicinal, acetone taste, but I can see how it could be characterized as licorice. I have some older bottles of Old Forester. I can taste hints of it in the Repeal bourbon. The Repeal just doesn't have the earthiness and depth of the early 90's bottlings. Joe

A bottle of Michter's Small Batch (7K-11) cashed in tonight. Very tasty.

A tear is shed, as I drop a Handy bottle into the......no.....I will not say that tra#$ word for this beautiful bottle. Tra#$, demeans it. I will not do it. Rather, I laid to rest, this fine rye.

I thoroughly enjoyed the last couple of ounces, char included. It's the best part! The pour in my glass, was as dark as coal. Peppermint, surprisingly sweet, and flavor that went on forever.

The Handy rye may be the best offering from BT's star-studded line-up.

I feel your pain, and agree in saying Handy is my fav from BT.

Bye Bye WLW 2008. Can't wait for next year's release. I think I have 1 or 2 in the bunker....

[JamesW]

Another good one falls.... Pappy 20. I still have 3 in the bunker. I snapped them up 6 months ago because they were only $70 ea. They go for about 110+ now around here.

[indyrider]

No support needed....just wanted to say good bye or good riddance to the WRMC Four Grain, _down_the-drain_!
