CaptainQ Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I finished off the last of my one and only bottle of 2008 William Larue Weller 125.3 proof. Delicious wheated bourbon to say the least.:yum: This was my first experience with a barrel proof wheater and it was love at first sip.:kiss: You will be missed my friend :cry: and with no more in the bunker I will move on to the 2009.

Special Reserve Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 A Weller Centennial Louisville fit the recycle bin this morning. Fortunately there are some more in the bunker.Back in August when Weller Centennial was the bourbon of the month, I opened a Louisville and a Frankfort for a scientific comparison. I've had several tastings and I could not appreciate any difference between those bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Said goodbye to a bottle of OGD 114 last night. I'll miss that big ol' cork (but probably not for long, though, it'll be replaced in due time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robmo Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I recently bought four new bottles so that means I'm going to have to finish off my last drops of I.W. Harper, EW 7 yr, FR yellow and Old Overholt. I'm really reluctant to finish off bottles because I like to compare what I have to my new purchases. It'll be interesting to compare the EW 7 to JB Black and Buffalo Trace and FR black label, for example. Anyway, time to clear out the old to make way for the new. The bottles they are a changin'.

George Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Finished my bottle of the 2000 EWSB. It was actually a little disppointing. I loved the 1999 bottles I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Rebel Yell Reserve... actually a pretty easy to drink wheater for under $20. Not sure I will replace it but decent juice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrel_Proof Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 The very first bottle of A.H. Hirsch 20yo that I owned and opened bit the dust tonight while in the chat room. I was lucky enough to share this bottle with many SB.com members, most recently with Jeff Yeast.In view of recent developments, I guess I should add that I enjoyed my last $90 pour!!!

hectic1 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Finished off a liter of ER 10/101 NOLA and a liter of ER 10/101 Frankfort in the past week...I had about an ounce left in each bottle and I allowed myself to finish them both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I finished off an ER 101 Frankfort this morning.To think that a decade ago it was easily available at less than $20/bottle.How times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Er 101 was less than $16 here and when it was discontinued I went around and bought all I could find within driving range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Er 101 was less than $16 here and when it was discontinued I went around and bought all I could find within driving range.From a Texas monthly magazine ad from 1976 (previously posted here http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14743&highlight=texas+magazine+eagle+rare) the Eagle Rare 101 introductory price was stated to be about $10 which is $40 today. $20 ten years ago is $25 today, so it certainly did not retain its initial expected retail pricing between 1976 and 2001 and you guys were getting a great deal.

CaptainQ Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Finished up a 2009 ER 17. Not really impressed when I first opened this bottle, but it got much better with more air. The last pours were shared among very good friends and all agreed it was a great bourbon. No more in the bunker. Another empty hit the bin. 2010 Old Forester Birthday bourbon. Not impressed by this one. Glad I tried it, but will not be buying it again. I think the OF Signature 100 proof is just as good and a much better value.
