Empty Bottle Support Group Fall 2009

[cowdery]

As always, we're here to help you swallow that last swallow and send the empty to its just reward.

but we can't help you until fall starts....

Ancient Age Barrel 107 will be missed; although it was kind of heavy in that distinctive musty BT trait. Still a damn good bourbon.

[George]

Finished my bottle of OGD BIB. Good value.

[JamesW]

Just killed off my Wathens. A good value and it will be replaced.

[Josh]

Finished off my VG 90 last night. No it's not Geo. T. Stagg or a pewter top WTKS, but it's a great sipping and mint julep whiskey. I will miss this furry friend!

[DeanSheen]

Yamazaki 12 gone. Man that stuff is good, I gotta stock up.

(hey it's a bottle!)

[JamesW]

Polished off a Weller SR. Pretty sweet for a sub $20 pour. One bunkered @ $15 but the price is rising up to $20 in most parts here.

[B3Nut]

Had the last dregs of my bottle of ETL in an Old Fashioned. Tasty end to a damn good bottle. I'll be replacing this one, I think...after I finish stocking up on OWA.

[independant]

EW 1783. Not a bad bottle but will probly not be replaced because shelf space is at a premium

[JamesW]

Killed my WTRR90. Nice bottle, better if it was the 101 proof though. Why they messed with it is beyond me. 101 is the WT trademark, what a loss.

[cowdery]

Ridgemont Reserve 1792. Man, that's a heavy bottle. Whiskey's good too.

Four Roses Yellow Label, good whiskey, good value, often overlooked amidst the small batch, single barrel and special editions. This, after all, is why they make 10 different bourbons.

[JamesW]

Pappy 15. Always tough to throw that bottle in the recycling. This one was a bit on the woody side, more so than any other I've had to date.

[dhs3]

Finished my first bottle of EC 12 yesterday. I really enjoyed this whiskey; it's the oldest bourbon I've had yet. I'm planning on picking up another on the way home just to make sure I have one on hand.

I'll probably pair a WLW SR pour tonight with a Padron Maduro 2000 stogie while watch Army of Darkness. Should be good night...:woohoo:

I killed my very first bottle of Booker's tonight. When I got just the right amount of water with it (about 3:1) it was simply sublime. I love this stuff.

[JamesW]

Killing off all my dwindling bottles.... tonight it's ER17 hitting the recycling bin. Nice bourbon but I prefer the higher proof BTACs.

[hectic1]

Finished off a VW Lot B...sorry to see this one go...good thing I have a couple more in the bunker!

[JamesW]

My recycling bin looks like I'm an alcoholic. Killed off my ER90. When I poured the last I thought, well it's a nice enough bourbon but I'll probably not replace. But that last pour was pretty nice, so now I'm not so sure....

[StraightBoston]

I don't have a personality that lets me kill a bottle -- I'd rather leave a couple pours in and try something else in the collection instead -- but tonight I had to make room for some transferred decanters.

Finished off my 1968 Bonded Beam in a green glass genie bottle (also the subject of [thread=10255]VBT#139[/thread].)

I moved over a Beam's Choice that was kin to the one Gary mentioned in the VBT thread (purchased at the same store in Las Vegas, in fact!)

[Rake]

Killed the dregs of an '06 Handy and an '06 Stagg. Out with the old, in with the new.

[theDon]

I straight up murdered a 3rd of a bottle of RR 101 last night (my wife helped). First bottle I ever had and I opened it in the hospital 5 months ago when my daughter was born.

3 more lay in wait.:grin:

[gblick]

A bottle of WTRR101 gave up its last pour yesterday evening.

I've really grown to love this one, and it always makes me sad to finish a bottle.

[George]

Just finished my bottle of EWSB 1999. I found it to be excellent, and I look forward to getting another bottle.

[Josh]

It's been a sad week. Two great soldiers fell this week: Weller Centennial (Bottle Barn), and 4R 120th anniversary.

Now, a moment of silence...

[jburlowski]

Emptied a bottle of Henry McKenna 10 yo SB BiB. (It's got perhaps the cheesiest packaging of any current pour.) This one's been hanging around for a long time and I'd forgotten how good this HH juice tastes. May have to replace it.
