Sorry to open the New Year with a farewell to a Binny's pick of WT Kentucky Spirit, barrel 871. This was a refined Turkey with balance between their signature  sweetness and char. At times it also tasted as a Dickel without the vitamin.

Nothing near as good as these guys ^^^ for me, but I did finally kill off a Michter's Toasted Barrel and a Widow Jane 8 year old in the last few days. Don't imagine myself buying either of those again.

I just emptied a Jefferson's reserve store bottling, but I haven't finished the last pour yet. It was good. I will probably save the bottle because it was the bottle that turned me back onto bourbon earlier last year.

Out with the old continues here with a rather infamous bottling by Kenwood Liquors of an 8 year old SA Old Scout back in 2013.

Finished off a CEHTBP 129 proof--or to be more precise, poured the balance of my 129 into my newer 127.2 when I was in consolidation mode this past weekend.

And when was that little jewel bottled? I see a tax stamp peeking in at the top of the frame.

Plus, I want some of those glasses!!!!! :D

Best I can tell, probably bottled in 1970, 71.  Great S-W whiskey.  Unbelievably thick mouthfeel.  

Glasses on the way!

Finished off a ETL, and a MMCS.  I struggled through the ETL, completely enjoyed and cried a little to see the MMCS leave.

Had a buddy mule me back a few bottles of JTS Brown from Binny's a few weeks back...they didn't stick around long. Wish they'd sell that stuff around here, all I can find is the lower proof stuff.

Polished off a bottle of WT Rare Breed this evening. This was one of the older 108 proof batch and just tasty to the last drop. Wish I had more than just 1 bottle left in the bunker to enjoy. Oh well, looks like I will just have to see what the 112 proof tastes like in the not so distant future.

Been busy with work so I haven't hit the forums much other than to lurk.  In "thinning the herd" mode again, finished off a bottle of RHF over the holidays and a bottle of FRSB tonight.

just finished a weller 12 Yo.   Well kinda.   Part of it is it is ina 60/40 SBblend and mart of it is in a 50/50 SN blend.  Regardless ( due to a better half and and self imposed do not open another until  I finish a full one ban) .  I'm having a SB OESK SB (My store to be absolutely and transparent) 9yo11 yo choice.  DAMN ITS good.   Not tooting my own horn but somebody needs to hire me as a professional taster at $200K a year.   (I'd take it honestly).

A CEHT BS and EC12 BS both hit the recycle bin this weekend.  I strongly preferred the CEHT BS.  I'll buy more if I can find it.

I need support not because an awesome bottle is now empty but because I need a below average bottle to be empty. Cocktail month for me I guess.

This is why Wegman's and Giant, et al, sell those lightly carbonated, Euro-style sodas (Sicilian Lemon, Blood Orange, etc.).  Also, do not forget Vernor's Ginger Ale - both the regular and the diet.  (Vernor's Diet GA saved my marriage when "she" insisted we go on a crash diet - if I hadn't found it, I'd have snuck off to McDonalds every chance I got, and she's too good at finding me for that to have remained a secret).

Just saying . . .

Empty?  Yet another cork OGD BIB decanted into an orange cap screw top.  Yeah, I know it's silly.  But I'm old and crotchety so suck it up, kids.B)

Last night (enjoying one of the best National Championship games I've seen) I emptied a 375 bottle of OGD 8y. I've got a few more in the bunker.

This seemed appropriate tonight. Really going to miss these when they are gone. (Supposed to be a picture of EC12, no idea what's going on).

The photo fairy must have whisked it away. I agree though - I'll miss EC12 also.

I tracked the mighty Stagg for about a year,

I let him breathe my own air,

I slowly withered him down,

But when it came time,

I had to bury him in the ground.

 

Lucky he's got some brothers to take over his reign! 

And so the saga continues....
