I forgot one. :rolleyes: A HH 6yr BIB is also now in the blue bin.

I like it. Great mix of old and new, top shelf and middle/bottom shelf.

I made up my mind a while back to cut back a lot on my buying, and to start drinking more of what I already have. As you can see, I have been enjoying myself. :grin:

Recently emptied my first cask strength bourbon .. Booker's (Batch C04-A-28, 7yr 4mo)

This is the first Beam produced product that I have enjoyed. Always added at least a little water and on hot days I could really dilute it down to ease up on the heat but it was still enjoyable. Made for a great spirit-centric Manhattan or Black Manhattan (with Averna in place of red vermouth).

Been purging lately. Finished off varying levels of juice of a Bookers, OWA, ER10, RHF, Blantons, 2 BT and 2 CEHT SmB in last couple of months. Also effectively finished a PVW20, though out of necessity (it was starting to oxidize so I moved the last 4oz into two-2oz minis.) Will finish off a MM46 I've had for YEARS this weekend. Finally getting some room back for new bottles, it's nice.

Drained the last of a Knob Creek last night, it was by far the longest lived of any open bottle I owned. Started it before I got heavily involved in this hobby last year, so there have been plenty of new things to try that kept on pushing KC to the side. I've started to develop a fondness for Bookers lately, but KC had always been my favorite Beam product and these last three fingers were tasty. Good night, sweet prince.

Haven't even opened a new bottle to replace it yet. RHF is next in line for execution.

regular KC? I find the KCSB and Booker's to be fairly similar. I imagine I could only tell them apart if side by side.

I just finished a bottle of JB White. I've had it for a long time and have been using it for cocktails.

Finished off a bottle of Stagg Jr. last night. I enjoy it and have a couple more bottles. Good value for a barrel proofer, IMO. No it's not Stagg and it's not even ECBP, but I think it's priced right for what you get.

Blanton's, then BT, then ER10 on consecutive nights. Lots of dead buffaloes around.

Polished off a TPS Four Roses OESK tonight. Sad to se it go… but that opens room for something else!

Finished off a George Dickel 9 year tonight. It lost something in the last quarter of the bottle - a bit more bitterness toward the back and on the finish coming through than when first opened. It was opened maybe 3 months or so.

A bit of water smoothed that over and brought out the sweetness, so I probably drank the last quarter of the bottle between 90 and 95 proof. Still a very enjoyable bottle. Made me think though that the GD12 @ 90 proof might still be the best of the GD line for my taste.

ECBP 4th lasted only 3 weeks, yummy! Will open another shortly. One is always open.

OWA to the recycle bin. Modern production version which will get replaced by my last paper-label bottle from '08.

Killed the bottle of Henry McKenna BIB last night, decided to open a Weller 12 and OWA to make a little SB blend to fill the empty spot on the bar.

Some HH6BiB just hit he bin. I really tried to like this but it's just not my cup of tea. I will purchase another but not something I will bunker for a rainy day.
