Empty Bottle Support Group 2015

Finished another bottle of WTRB. I'm definitely a WT fan.

I was thinking about keeping this bottle for vatting because the top is easy to pour from but I think smaller bottles with a screw top are probably better. Problem is I usually don't buy 200ml or 375ml bottles. Guess I will have to pick up a OGD BiB or WT101. I'm going to need the bottle to make the Fozzy Blend next month (for VOTM).

I bought some 200/375 just for this purpose. I like the WT101 bottles the best as they have the curved side for a stable base when holding them on an angle to pour from a measuring cup. This reminds me I just got some funnels from amazon I need to put in my liquor cabinet. For bigger mixes of things I know I like I like the fifths with wide mouths and a lip like OGD114, 4RSmB, 1792. etc.

So you like the lip on the 750s? See, I don't. I find it hard to pour from those. That's why I thought the WTRB was good for me, no lip.

I've been pouring WTRB more and more these days as well. But as for your vatting bottle, I prefer screw tops because then you can give it a shake every once in awhile without worrying about wetting the cork. Probably all for nothing, as I'm sure the shake doesn't do much to the vat anyway, and that little moisture so rarely probably doesn't hurt the cork, but ceteris paribus I'll go with the screw top anyway.

Yes, but mostly because they are easy to pour into with a measuring cup. It doesn't much matter the mouth/lip, I always end up with some running down the bottle when I pour so I keep a paper towel under the glass and measuring cup and another to wipe off the neck of the bottle, but I am bit OCD about some things I suppose.

See ya Old Forester Single Barrel store pick bottle.

[fozzy71]

Emptied my GD12 this morning by turning it into two partial pint vattings: one with OGD114 (killed that bottle also) and another with '05 EWSB.

[LCWoody]

Put a very good bottle of bourbon to bed last night at the Duck Camp.

[mbroo5880i]

Not a bourbon but I finished off a bottle of Woodford Reserve Rye. I liked it and would buy one (this one was a gift), if it were available in Indiana and the price was in the mid to upper $20s. Otherwise, I can find suitable alternatives.

[latech15]

Killed a four rises single barrel tonight. Sad day. Luckily, I have more waiting in the wings.

[fozzy71]

05 EWSB is done and a EC12 will be empty in another pour or two. OFSIG is next in line but don't think it will get drained tonight.

WTRB is a goner. In a related story, I'll save a post in the "what bourbon did you purchase today" by saying I'll be getting a WTRB today...

[Paddy]

4RSmB, HMc BIB, and a RITT BIB hit the can this week.

[rcs86]

HHBiB 6yr

[flahute]

Solid evening. 4RSB standard and a PS OESV both hit the bin this evening. Multiple backups of both so life is good.

[Jazz Nut]

Two bottles of ECBP have served their duty honorably. Hazmat, and 128 proof will be missed dearly. Luckily I have a few left in the bunker, but I will not be opening one for a while, it's become too difficult to find them on a regular basis.

[OldDrinker1978]

Rare Breed 112.8 Proof done.

[unclebunk]

Old Charter 101 hits the bin and makes room for his twin brother. One of my new favorite everyday pours and cheap too!

[jeffrey r]

OGD 114 hit the bin tonight. OGD 114 was opened tonight as well.

[Louisiana]

ETL hit the bin last night. Really enjoyed this one!

this is a great thread. bottle of Old Forester Signature was recycled last night. will be bringing a fresh bottle of OWA to a cabin this weekend; guessing nothing will be left to bring back.

[TunnelTiger]

LS&B. Got this bottle two years ago and I have really enjoyed it. Was my first purchase over $100. There are still plenty of bottles here on the shelf for $119 but I don't think I'll get another. Well maybe
