Empty Bottle Support Group 2014

[Quintilian]

An EWSB went to the recycle bin. It was good but not as good as the previous bottle I had, which was an '03. I did a comparison tasting between this EWSB and EWBiB, and I think I prefer the latter a bit more. Then again, I'm cheap, so EW White Label has a certain appeal. Regardless, EWSB is solid bourbon at a great price. I see more in my future.

An OGD 86 ... I reach for this when I want just a bit more bite than from the EWSB's I usually reach for when I just want something to sip and not think too much.

I was lamenting the passing of a bottle of the exceptional 2011 THH...but the bunker provideth!

There was a time when this lingered on the shelves at $59.99. Just imagine.

[squire]

Yes, yes it did, I prefer not to dwell on such thoughts.

Makes me sad I waited so long to embrace bourbon and rye. I missed out on so many deals relative to today's market.

I hear you, brother. Even as recently as 2009-10, all my pennies should have went into this hobby instead of whatever-the-hell else I was wasting them on. One day I'll hopefully learn the ways of squire and just stop yearning for what was.

Not really a bottle, but I finished off a small sample of HH 6 yr BIB the other night. I had this sample all ready to give to a friend, but I somehow forgot all about it. My bad. It was real good though. :slappin:

Cheers! Joe

Sooooooo. You decided to share a sample of this really good bourbon with a friend, forgot why you got this sample together

, forgot about your friend altogether, but then thought " I have no idea why i have this sample, but I need to drink this"

Works for me. .:toast:

I am really sad about this one... It grow on me, i ended love it... Although, not available where i am... NONE of the four roses products are here.

This is a sad day my friends...!

Strangely enough, that's the only FR product I can find in my county, and the only place it's sold recently jacked up the price from $32.99 to $37.99. I used to pay the $33 grudgingly because I didn't want to travel an hour to purchase a bottle. Then I stopped by a liquor store out by the Indy airport the other day and found FRSmB for $24.99. Bought a bottle right quick.

This little powerhouse put up a good fight, but ultimately went down. Would have finished sooner but started to enjoy batch 5 more and finished about half before realizing that I neglected this fine whiskey.

Just finished a WFE 8-year bourbon, #6165. At the end of it I'm pretty sure this one's DSP-354 (from the nose alone), but it's much richer than any Old Forester or Woodford I've ever had.

Luckily I've got one more of these stashed.

May need to move that one to the on deck circle. Sounds good. I'm down with barrel proof double aged Old Forester.

Old Scout 7yr completed its mission tonight. Picked up a replacement OS SB 7 today, so I'm looking forward to comparing the two.

[tigerlam92]

Another one gone. Maybe I should slow down on the ECBP but this is so yummy!

[ccleve23]

2013 George T. Stagg gone tonight. Hope to replace it soon.

I'm getting some déjà vu...

How many is that now?

Hehehe.

I've been fortunate, maybe 18 or more.

[HD 335]

I don't think I can even consume bottles at your rate haha. I'm now through 5 bottles since batch 3 and have 8 more tucked away under my bed.

I brought the Ritt 354 back from KY ~2011, before it was widely available in TX. Frankly, I found it underwhelming. The WSR (a mere Frankfort from '08) was somewhat "more whelming," but only slightly so.

[Quintilian]

Adios to the recycle bin Weller Special Reserve.

That must have been tough on you, E. It looks like you passed out from grief for about an hour between pics...

Well, as if you don't know what happened. Those make great "piggy" banks.

Another Old Rip 10/107 is done for as of last night.
