Empty bottle(s) support group ~ 2019

No, I dont remember EWBIB being similar, I just want to compare how different they are since they're all the same mashbill and the same proof.

Ok I remember it Dant being very different, EW seemed more sweet, vanilla, while Dant seemed more dry and earthy. Might of been something with the bottle I had though. When you get a chance to compare please let us know your thoughts.

It was goodbye to a HMcK BiB this afternoon. Now I have to see if the fame has caused a famine so to speak.

Had a horse with a broken leg, had to put it down..... 

[smokinjoe]

A really, really, really, good whiskey gone down tonight...

 

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Not very good, glad it’s gone. Seemed to get worse as it “aired” out. Reminded me of the Three Wiseman shots from college. A mix of Jimmy, Jack, and Jose.

Another one bites the dust.....

 

[Postal Grunt]

Another one hit the recycling bin as an excellent 13 YO KCSiB gave up its last 3 ounces of goodness. It was a worthy bottle and it will be awhile before I find one that drinkable again.

Lost my first dog today, Andy. Got him as a sophomore in undergrad. Was a good boy and will be missed. Here's to him.

My condolences. We lost our Olde English Bulldog last year and we still heartbroken.

Sad to see a solid value bottle hit the recycle bin. I liked it, not sure why people were paying $20/5th for it when HH announced HH6 demise.

Blanton’s store pick bit the dust on this rainy day.

4RSB BS OBSV - TW pick just bit the dust. Don't worry, I have a backup...

I traded an OE7BS plus shipping for a bottle of the HHBiB.  About $60 total but I always wanted to try it and it was never available here on the west coast.  Will it be worth it?  Probably not but, it's worth it to me to try something that, for me, is unique.

Sorry for your loss. Animals always find a special place in our families and our hearts.

Poured the last of my first bottle of ECBP A119. Very lucky to have another bottle of this in the basement.

[HoustonNit]

A OF1910 and a RYSB10yr. I was surprised how much I liked the 1910, figured all these double barreled bottles that BF was putting out was gimmicky and would taste like sawdust. However it works quite well.

Saw this on a low fill MM PS bottle. I think I must of left the cork somewhat open and this NCF has an odd black mold like dark sediment coloring building up. Really didn’t want to risk it so dumped the remaining bottle. Kind of sad as I really enjoyed it, probably more so than OWA which I find comparable. If the Antique has really hit the $50+ price range and is hard to find I’d rather drink these.

Yeast that can live in 55.35% alcohol!?! 

That is some nasty yeast.  Sounds like the beginnings of a Science Fiction "B" movie.  :-))

Probably just a little barrel char.

The bottom of the one I drank looked the same.  I believe it is barrel char or sediment as Kevin mentioned. 

Ever looked at a bottle of GTS/WLW/THH that has been sitting vertical for a long time?

if you flip it over and swirl (like a tornado), you’ll see the same thing, and it will fall and mix back into the liquid. 

I only mention these bottles, because for me it is the easiest to see on these, since they are round wine type bottles. 

 

Someone much wiser once told me to always shake up s barrel proof/cask strength bottle before pouring from it. 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Worth the $32 to try. Probably wouldn’t buy again.

[BMartin42]

Couldn’t replace it if I wanted to since I bought it on clearance but it was actually pretty decent.
