FacePlant Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 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! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guss West Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMonk Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Not as premium as some of the previous openings. But I have found the 1.75L bottle in WSR to be the most convenient. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you get a bottle with the hints of red hots candy on the finish, it cannot be beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would open Booker's because I haven't tried that batch yet. But ECBP and WTRB are the top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Double C's Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 popped the top on this Belle Meade a minute ago. It's my first dance with the Belle Meade lineup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinbrink Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
