Empty Bottle Support Group 2014

[Eskwar]

Knocked off a pair of BT Mashbill #2 siblings last night. I much preferred the ETL (from late 2013) to the HPR (no date to be found on the bottle, though the box and labeling would make it pre-2009, perhaps). Great color and nose on the HPR, but the taste was way too mild and mellow. Nice packaging on the HPR, though...I guess my daughter could use it as a Barbie tanning bed or coffin, so it's not a total loss.

Polished off a standard BT this week. Figured why not, since it's currently on sale a a local and I can keep the bunker adequately stocked. :grin:

Continuing the end-of-summer purge. AB Gingerbread Beer Finished. Distilled 4/21/06, Bottled 8/14/13, Emptied 8/15/14. (Also, I've been going through my CDs alphabetically, so these tunes were yesterday's accompaniment.)

Said goodbye to an Elmer T Lee tonight. But luckily I have another on the way!

Poured the last of a FRSmB. This is really an incredible whiskey for the price.

[IowaJeff]

I finished off my last bottle of PVW15 (probably ever), AAA10, Rittenhouse Rye, and Old Scout 14 in the last week. Sad to see them go, but excited to have some open space in the liquor cabinet!

Nice music pick on the Gould. I ripped that CD to my hard disk last break.

Bottle of Larceny is heading to the recycling bin. It was a good soldier (and after the rebate, an insane value!)

Just finished off a VOB 6yr BiB. Nice value pour.

Yesterday I killed the very first bottle of bourbon I ever bought - CEHT Tornado. Opened last spring and the nose never wavered.

[dSculptor]

Been working through some near empties to make room for some new full ones, so OGD,and OC8 had to go.

[Mardbrown]

In last two weeks, I have finished bottles of Evan Williams SB 2003, Larceny (cant believe I got that for $14), and Rittenhouse Rye BIB. I'd buy all three of them again.

Killed the last of my bottles of WLW2013 and THH2012 while catching up with an old friend. Of note is that while I preferred the WLW, roughly 5/6 friends who tried both of these bottles strongly preferred the THH. I really came to like it in the end, too.

Last night was one of those sad, but joyful nights.....I said goodbye to a bottle of Dougdog's Black Ink rye.

Bittersweet for sure. But as a wise man said-it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. And your empty now gives the same tasting experience as all of the unopened "Collectables" sitting on people's back bars. But you have the benefit of having enjoyed every drop.

gotta be careful how you word things around here.....

[bourbonfoot]

Lost a champ tonight. I'm sure last private selection I'll see of this.

Yeah, at least for a while. But, Dusty said, at least you had the opportunity to enjoy it!

[Quintilian]

A bottle of EC12 to the recycle bin. Solid as usual.

Bazinga! You win fox.

WTRB went out in a blaze of glory, as it turned two newb's in its final breath.

[tigerlam92]

Finished a bottle of Willett 2 yr rye with friends. At home I didn't like it but with friends it's pretty good.

Drinking with friends always taste better whatever it is.

[Hawg73]

Just finished off a Very Old Barton BiB! Sigh....will need to order another one.

that last 112 WTRB i had, I shared with friends, and turned them into RB fans as well. I think the 112 is much better than the 108. Id like to know if there were any changes to it than just a proof adjustment, as I doubt many people will notice a difference in 108 and 112 proof.
