Pulled the cork on my last 15 WLW. I think I'll cry when it's posted on the Empty Bottle Support thread. Yes, I'll need support from my bourbon family when it's done!

I think I can actually relate to this... ? 

Enjoy!

Opened the mythical LL/G bottling of WT101. Decanted the handle into JTS Brown and KS birdie bottles. 

 

The heel will go up against the LL/H and 2002 dusty bottles in a shootout. 

 

Drink the good stuff while ya can!

Not as premium as some of the previous openings.   But I have found the 1.75L bottle in WSR to be the most convenient.

And if you get a bottle with the hints of red hots candy on the finish, it cannot be beat!

All look good to me... I would open Booker's because I haven't tried that batch yet. But ECBP and WTRB are the top 2.

I've got 2 of those 4 open now. Open them all.  Hunker in the bunker and stay safe.

The Belle Meade would be my first pick, followed by ECBP, Booker's and WTRB.  I have a bottle of BM batch 19 open and it's superb!  Full of MGP goodness...

popped the top on this Belle Meade a minute ago. It's my first dance with the Belle Meade lineup.

If you've never had any of these, just let your own curiosity be your guide.  It's simply more fun that way. 

For me, the one that I would find myself  drawn to is the Rare Breed.  It's always a bottle that, once cracked open, disappears the fastest.  It's my all time number 2 most consumed bourbon, right behind WT101.  

Enjoy them all!

I do love me some WT101. Out of the 4 bottles in the pic I have polished off a Rare Breed and am most of the way through a bottle of C917 ECBP.

In that case, I like your choice to open, the Belle Meade.  I'm sure it's good too.

Freshly cracked! I’m digging the spiciness.

Technically the second pour but who is counting these days, Frankfort (current BT) distilled, bottled at Stitzel Weller J.W. Dant, all butterscotch and dusty notes, looking forward to coming back to this one.
