ND Faux stamped OGD 86 gave up it's last butterscotchy rum pour tonight. Good to the last drop!

[Tico]

Finished up a bottle of 10' WLW

Had to put the last pour through a coffee filter as there was a bit of barrel char and sediment at the bottom of the bottle

Four Roses Single Barrel gone yesterday. Sad to see it go, I seem to like anything Four Roses makes.

Best regards, Tony

I'm with Tico. If a coffee filter blocks passage, I don't need it in my body. The only whiskeys that seem to need this are the three unfiltered BTACs.

[Tico]

Unbleached coffee filters do not impart any flavor into the beverage that is being filtered. I've noticed that the barrel sediment/soot can impart off flavors into the last pour of an unfiltered bottle.

If I want the last pour to be as good as the ones that came before it, I use a coffee filter.

Yum, the last grit filled pour from a Stagg or WLW is my most cherished one. The more shtuff at the bottom, the better. Grind it around on my teeth. Give's 'em a good polish. I like my juice with the pulp in it...too...

I finished off a 2010 WLW this week as well. After getting a very bitter pour from my last couple ounces of a Thomas H. Handjob Unfiltered Straight Rye, I strained the char out. I don't mind that it's in there, but by the time I killed the bottle it was like a black sludge. Also, this time around I tried to remember to swirl the bottle a little before pouring so I could distribute the char more evenly across the whole bottle. Stupendous!

I couldn't agree more, just like Cracker Jacks there is a prize waiting at the bottom of every bottle!

I finished up an ORVW 10/107 last night. Sad to see it gone, but its last pour was a friend's first pour of ORVW, can't think of a better way for it to go.

Said goodbye to the Tornado tonight, but like the previous poster it died with a final pour for me and half a pour to a bourbon newby. It was enjoyed by both. Fortunately we will meet again.

Finished off bottles of Redbreast 12 and Tyrconnell Single Malt. Never did fall in love with the latter, though that shouldn't dissuade others from giving it a try. I just found its nose unusual and I never figured out why.

[fishnbowljoe]

Finished off a few more in the past two or three weeks. WTRB 01-99, ORVW 10/107, WT 101, Weller 12 and a Weller SR have all gone to the big recycle bin in the sky.

[HighInTheMtns]

Old Forester Signature bit the dust today. This was a new one to me, not too expensive, and I went in with pretty much no preconceptions. I went through it fast and it'll be replaced soon. Just a good everyday pour.

[Young Blacksmith]

Charter Private Reserve hits the bottle wall today. We take our old bottles, mix a little concrete or mortar, and continue our retaining wall beautification project with them.

[AaronWF]

I just took the last taste from my bottle of FR 08 Mariage. I am crying. On the inside. A lot. I'm bawling my eyes out. On the inside. I don't know that I have lamented the end of a bottle of whiskey as much as do this one. It was really just so perfect. Sweet, syrupy, blackberry bubblegum, full, coating body, spicy finish with a slight bite but heat at a minimum. I loved it. There I said it. I have no more. No more...

[T Comp]

CEHT Single Barrel...I'd consider another if I could get it out the door at $50. Its shorter finish does frustrates following the superb promise from the nose and initial entry.

[Tony]

Four Roses Single Barrel, really enjoyed this bottle.

Best regards, Tony

Settling in and getting ready for some football, putting the finishing touches on a WLW 12.

[HighInTheMtns]

Polished off Dickel #12 today. Don't know when another (or any other Tennessee whiskey, although I'm somewhat tempted by JDSB) will make it to my shelf.

[George]

Just enjoyed the final pour from a bottle of Weller SR.

[Tucker]

Finished up an ETL and a Ritt 100. I've never had a bad bottle of ETL. The Ritt, on the other hand, just never did it for me; almost unpalatable.
