I used to do that also, but it gave my wife more ammo against me about how much I drink, buy, hoard, etc. when she can look through a whole bag of empties. plus these days I really need to make some space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I've got a bottle of batch #011 that's almost gone too. It's good stuff, and the Dickel provenance has become more recognizable as the bottle gets closer to empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 This proud Turkey let loose with gobs of butterscotch and sweet oak with his last pour. He certainly did not go gently into this good night. He was great from first pour to last. Tribute is Wild Turkey in it’s finest form. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, this "Gobs" thing might catch on. We might even see it used in a Bourbon Magazine. LOL Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp55 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Finished off the last pour out of each of these this evening. The ECBP was release #11 (5/16), 139.4 proof. A wonderful brown sugar bomb! I love this stuff. Fortunately, I have three more releases (A117, B517, and B518) in the cabinet. The bottle of Clyde May's 110 proof whiskey is a first-time experience with this one for me. My wife and I tasted the Clyde May's line at a whiskey festival back in March, and we both found the 110 proof ("Special Reserve") to be the only one of the four that we really liked. This is the last of the bottle we bought that night. I like the combination of hints of apples along with a nutty background taste. It's a tad overpriced at $60, but I think I'll still pick up a replacement due to the unique flavor profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It's been a bit of a slow summer, but................... I haven't had as much help as in past summers, but I've still managed to finish off a few bottles over the last couple of weeks or so. FWIW, only one empty is going to the recycle bin. I can hardly bear the thought of disposing of a WLW, so my empty 08 will be put alongside an empty 07 on my shelf. An ER is the only empty destined for the big blue bin. The empty Weller 12 handle I used for my (batch #3) 2018 Weller Blend will be kept for future Weller Blends. (If I can find any more Weller Antique. ) The MM 375 empty will be kept for experiments, vattings, samples, etc.... FWIW, like Vosgar stated in another thread, the 08 WLW was a mighty fine pour. I'm hoping that the 2017 I have on deck is it's equal, if not it's better. Hey, it's a Weller. I know I won't be disappointed. Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvin0791 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Finally polished this off last night. It may be sacrilege, but I'm not sad to see this one go. Just not my cup of tea, so to speak. Sorry, @fishnbowljoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako254 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Cracked this July 2. Took it to supper club and send a sample out. Other than that, this one was quick. More fruity notes toward the end. Reminded me of OF bananas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 This stuff flew under the radar here for several years. 6 year AS MGP @ 92 proof. I found it quite enjoyable and somewhat different from other MGP offerings of similar credentials (SAOS 7 yr. , Hirsch, etc. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourbinvestor Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 This was just so good. I am glad to have another of the same barrel in the bunker. Will be saving that one for a special occasion. Maybe college football opening day? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako254 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This one got better as it went along. I must say of the Russsells I’ve had this year, this one was solid but didn’t finish in the money. It was a great second or third pour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
