Empty Bottle Support Group 2012

[fishnbowljoe]

You asked for it. Here it is. Deposit 2012 empties here. I'll start it off with some 50 mils that the bowling team helped me drain last week.

JB White, JB Black, WT 80, WT 101, dusty Old Forester 86 proof, and current Old Forester 86 proof were all finished last Wednesday.

[M Pickle]

Polished off the last few pours of Bulleit and VOB BIB over the weekend.

[cards81fan]

A 375mL of OWA 107 was just killed off. One tall glass for the evening emptied the bottle out.

I will say the 12 ounce hip-flask-shaped bottle is darn cool. It's just my size for an evening It got kept and may well be reused.

[Young Blacksmith]

A mini WT 101 and a Col EH Taylor Sour Mash was emptied over the weekend. Glad I have another of both!

[AaronWF]

It's 50 degrees in Chicago in January. The trees are bare and the birds are gone, but I'm trying to do some Spring cleaning! I finished a recently found bottle of 2005 OFBB (cost less than $30). A very nice expression, but the bottle took up way too much space in my liquor cabinet; it wasn't quite good enough to warrant all that real estate.

I also killed a bottle of Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve, to my great relief. The bottle was a bit of a puzzler for me. I really didn't like it until the last few drops of the bottle. I would definitely not spend the $60 for another one, but I did start to pick up on a subtle seasoning behind the broad, woody entry. It wasn't my thing, but it did have an impressive amount of complexity for an 80-proofer.

[Gentleman Racer]

Polished off my bottle of Wathens single barrel over the weekend. Charles Medley, the distiller, signed it when he visited Vine and Table here in Carmel, IN.

[Chris24]

Russel Reserve Rye 6 year and Willett 14 year.

[Eth3rStrik3r]

Polished off a bottle of Rebel Reserve, RRBIB and WTRye. Sucks having so many bottles with 1-2 drinks left in them, feels like shit when you empty them.

[Gentleman Racer]

Yeah, I display this strange phenomenon where all my bottles seem to go empty at the same time.

[Parkersback]

Took a 3/4ths full liter of ND Old Taylor to an Epiphany party to some guys who appreciate good bourbon. It did not make it home.

[JayMonster]

A 375 ml of JBB went to the recycling bin, and with the wife out of town and with a number of "1 drink left" bottles, it will certainly look like I am going through a lot soon. (at least it will make room for all the new things I want to try without raising too many eyebrows when she gets back)

[Josh]

Been putting a lot in the bin recently. I seem to go in phases like this when I'll finish off a bunch of bottles that have been sitting around for a while.

Heaven Hill White Lael BiB

Zeppelin Bend Malt Whiskey

Old Rip 90 (bottled in Lawrenceburg)

Geo. T. Stagg (fall 2005, see dusty finds thread)

That and bottles of Connemara and White Horse.

Next on the chopping block is Four Roses Single Barrel and a Kahn's Rock Hill Farms.

[Rikilee]

Polished off my bottle of MM 46. will have to wait awhile to spend that much again. For now I'll stick with the bottle of Old Forrester I have

[Parkersback]

Finished an Ardbeg Uigeadail. I enjoyed it very much, but when I get another Scotch, it'll either be the Ardbeg 10 to save $20+, or maybe even a Highland Park 12 or Glenmorangie 10.

[yountvillewjs]

killed the last of my 11 THH while in chat last night. Sad to see it go, glad to see reinforcements en route.

[BMartin42]

OC 101, David Nicholson BIB, and quite sadly the very last of my FR Marriage.

[yountvillewjs]

baby Saz just met its maker. replaced by.. another baby saz. need to find some Ritt BiB.

[Tucker]

I just poured the last from a JPS 17, Batch #2. Good bourbon, and I know where to find more, but I made a resolution not to overpay for bourbon this year.

We'll see how long that lasts. :skep:

[jersey12]

Just finished off a bottle of ETL. Definitely my favorite everyday pour as of now and will be replaced shortly.

[jcg9779]

Finished the bottle of FRSB OBSV that I mentioned in the "What are you drinking" thread. I only have one more bottle of this, and it won't be opened for a long time!

[jcg9779]

I just poured the last from a JPS 17, Batch #2. Good bourbon, and I know where to find more, but I made a resolution not to overpay for bourbon this year.

We'll see how long that lasts. :skep:

A very worthy resolution, just like exercising and eating right....something that everyone says they'll do and very few actually follow through with!

[CaptainQ]

2009 Saz 18 gave up it's last pours tonight. :cry:

Very sad to see this one go. Excellent rye.

[Bentrod]

Bottle of Baby Saz gave up its last drops making Manhattans. Won't replace anytime soon. I know that this rye has a lot of fans but I like the Rittenhouse BIB and even Wild Turkey Rye more and they both cost less.

[cds]

KC made its last bourbon and tonic last night. It did not prove to be much more than an expensive mixer for me. Maybe the single barrel is better.

I do highly recommend Fentiman's Tonic water though!

It makes an incredible drink.

Cheers.

[gblick]

Three bottles gave up their last pours in chat last night: OGD114, Lot B, & VWFRR.

All were delicious!
