Empty Bottle Support Group Winter 2009-10

[cowdery]

On this, the longest night of the year, I offer once again the theme of this long running thread. It's hard to finish off that last drink, especially if it's a special bottle. We've all been there, we feel your pain, and we're here to help.

Emptied an Old Forester and a Weller 12, but only to fill flasks. Those will be dry soon enough.

Matt and I killed off the last bit of an 09 GTS last night

[BBQ+Bourbon]

Sure did. It's laying in the basement still, and I'm trying to work up the nerve to trash it.

[independant]

A WTRB bit the dust last night. I figured I had to make my last Bourbon drinking night before visiting the in-laws a good one, and it was.

[Special Reserve]

Last night I took that last of a WLW 2008 over cracked ice, tonight I took the last from a 2005 WLW also over cracked ice. Tomorrow I might go for a trifecta, and have a 2006 WLW hit the dust.

I killed a Binny's Weller 12 last night. I would be deeply saddened if not for the fact that I have back up.

To end a good day yesterday, I had the last pour from a bottle of ER 101. :frown: Farewell to a good friend. Joe

Finished the WR that really got me started on tasting bourbon, rather than just drinking it. Currently the bottle is a flower vase, and its place in the cabinet has been replaced by a much larger collection.

Good thing...that well is running dry quickly...only 4 bottles left on the shelf as of yesterday!

[fishnbowljoe]

And another hits the recycle bin. 08 ER17. Joe

[George]

Finished a bottle of ERSB.

[ILLfarmboy]

Saying good-by to a bottle of GTS (144.8) tonight.

[jburlowski]

Ended a bottle of Weller Centennial... only two left in the bunker (sigh).:cry:

A J.T.S. Brown BIB that I could have sworn I just opened. Maybe it had a leak.

[Westernboys]

Elmer T Lee . I'm sure it was close to full before Christmas....Santa must have taken a nip or two!

[Sin]

Well fellers, it's about to happen. My first 'real' bottle of bourbon is about to be emptied. It's 'good-bye and so long' to my Basil Hayden's Bourbon bottle. (Actually, I'm going to keep it) It was a fantastic experience. I cannot believe I waited this long to try premium bourbon. At least, now I know.

Second, I'm so glad I came here. You guys are more than helpful. I appreciate your experience, knowledge and support. Cheers to you guys! :toast:

I can honestly say, I don't think I'll buy another premium bottle of scotch anymore. At least not for a while. Again, I'm not much of a drinker. I call myself a 'sipper.' That's all I do now; sip bourbon, scotch whiskey or rum. I don't even drink beer, much at all anymore.

So, with that, here's to the next bottle of bourbon; whatever it's going to be (though I've been trying to purchase a bottle of Maker's Mark for the past two weeks).

Bottle of 86 proof ND OGD fell over in the trailor and the cap broke.

I salvaged the last 2.5 oz... Tasty bottle of juice... there was only 50% left...

[jburlowski]

A PVW 15 and a FR Mariage 2009 went out with the old year last night (with the help of our neighbors).

[SMOWK]

Emptied a bottle of Willet 5yr 121.8 proof that was selected by Mr Gonano. Gone after 2 sessions with my dad. SOME GREAT STUFF! Celebrated both Xmas & New Years with it, along with some others.

[docbible]

WT tradition bottle to the bin and cork to the jar with the others that have fallen. tim

[HighTower]

Tradition to the bin?? I don't think I could throw one of those out!

An ETL bit the dust tonight, Binnys selection.

[spun_cookie]

Parker 1st Gen died tonight... Might be the longest open I have had. I kept cutting it down into smaller bottles to save it.... fortunately my good buddy Erich scored me 2 more bottles

[birdman1099]

well, not really a whole bottle, but I finished my 375 of ORVW 15..... she will be missed.
