Empty Bottle Support Group - Spring 2010

[callmeox]

Here's where we can mourn the loss of a bottle, either a favorite or something that you were happy to get out of the way to make room for another.

No matter what, we're here for you. :cool:

I wrung out the last of an EC12 last night after watching basketball all day. It will definitely be replaced.

Drained a PS 13 yo Willett SB last night. Always sad to see a barrel-strength bottle go.

[p_elliott]

I killed a bottle of Blanton's the other night

[RamblinWreck007]

Elmer T. Lee bit the dust during Sunday's tournament games, following my beloved Yellow Jackets........

[cowdery]

A Weller Special Reserve, but I've already christened its replacement.

Knocked off my worst bottle of ORVW 10/107 to date. It was medicinal from the start and only the last few pours resembled this fine whiskey at all. I have another 3 bunkered from the same store and I fear opening any more. Good Riddance!

Wow! Sorry to hear about this. What release do you think these bottles are from?

The Autumn 2008 are very good, I have a few more bunkered.

This one was No. B2006. I'd have to check the others I have bunkered. I have to say that it has been my first disappointment with the ORVW 10/107's. I had a chance to bunker another 1/2 dozen recently and I walked away. The 10/107 has been a favorite everyday pour of mine for a number of years and I usually have a good number in the bunker. I'm hoping it was just that bottle

I drained the last bit of Old Weller Antique 107. This was a 2006 bottling. It was intense. Every sip was an explosion of dark brown sugar, oak-n-smoke, black pepper and all spice. I also detected fragments of buttered cinnamon toast and vanilla. I thought there might be a bit of menthol in the the finish along with some big bite of oak.

Unfortunately, it's not sold in my neck of the woods so I'll have to pack up and head to another state and nose around for it if I want to try another bottle.

Said farewell to a WT Tradition. Sigh, to the bunker for another.

A good OWA is a thing to behold. Sorry to hear about your fallen friend. I'll have a pour of 03 later this evening to honor your loss.

I am about to kill a bottle of OWA tonight. Very interesting notes Sir. I get the dark brown sugar, and the menthol/minty finish as well. Just a hint of burn on the lips to last to the next sip. Absolute joy in a bottle.

[ErichPryde]

Gotta join the weller crowd here- the last of a Weller centennial (the first, and one of few!) was poured into my glass this evening.

I'm down to my last two pour of PVW20. I am going through this bottle way to fast. Luckily I have a bunch more. For celebrating a happy Friday, I think I'm going to finish it off later. Perhaps I will swing by and buy a PVW15 and PVW20 to bunker up.

I'd bunker PVW15's at two for the price of one vs PVW20 but that's me...they're both good juice I just tend to prefer the 15 to the 20.

[George]

Finished a very enjoyable bottle of EC 12.

[ggilbertva]

Sadly, my '77 Yellowstone is now gone. Brown sugar on the nose and one of the tastiest bourbons I've had.

[Vosgar]

Said goodbye to a Lot B this evening. I had kind of forgotten about this bottle, but once I got back into it last week, it didn't last long.

[hectic1]

Finished off a bottle of WTRR 90 last night...man at first I was skeptical about that bottle but switching from crystal to glass GC's really brought the best out of the Turkey!

Finished a bottle of Berheim Wheat Whiskey last night. Glad to have tried it, but not something I want again real soon. Anyone know the mashbill? Is this all wheat (or wheat and malted barley)? Any corn or rye in there for flavor? I think a touch of rye might be an interesting variation. I guess I should have tried some personal vattings before I finished it.

I don't know the mashbill on this I would like to. I think this whiskey has found a permanent place in my cabinet. I think any novice bourbon drinker should have it to understand the interaction of wheat and corn in whiskey.

A bottle of William Larue Weller (2008) is now an end marker on the bookshelf. The bottle had been open for a year and a half, and the last pour) a couple of nights ago in the gazebo) was the best from the bottle. One thing I love about uncut, unfiltered whiskey- they just don't seem to oxidize as badly. Not to mention that it's wheat, and that always gets better with age...

[CaptainQ]

Well, my first empty bottle of a Van Winkle product. It was one of the tastiest bottles of bourbon I've had, liked by all that sampled her goodness. We will miss you Lot B, RIP my friend.

[ggilbertva]

Empty WT101 now residing in the trash can. I'll have to admit, I liked this bottle and I may have to pick up another.

[MamaTried]

Down to one last pour of PVW 15. Not sold in NC. Just broke up with my honey in Florida, so no longer have a good way of replenishing. Life is sucking just about now.
