0895 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) This isn’t even close to the most interesting thing happening today, but it happened. Really darn good. Arguably an equal rival for GTS. Edited January 7, 2021 by 0895 Yes Im still using the same glass. Yes I washed it in between. :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledInBond Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I need support, for an empty box, of bottles..... I moved recently (11/30). Great opportunity, need renovations but the new house is going to be amazing eventually. But, as I have unpacked and settled in for 5 weeks, I have finally come to the conclusion that one of my boxes of whiskey is just not here. How could it have happened? Could it still be hiding somewhere? Several searches tell me I’ll never know, and imm not going to find it. What was in the box? 12 bottles of Four Roses store picks. At least 4 of them were from my favorite barrel. Thankfully I had one bottle from that barrel in another box, but this will go down as by far my worst loss of whiskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it eventually reveals itself. Did you use movers to transport your stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had friends and family moving me in. However, the sellers hadn’t moved out on time, so there was overlap for a few days where they were in and out, and they were getting divorced and each had their own set of professional movers. So, a variety of people could have grabbed that box which is why I am now assuming it’s a goner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone calls would be made escalating to doors kicked in if I were looking at a similar circumstance. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still may come to anything, but it's worth a try at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double C's Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 gotta make room in the cabinet for a different bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Fan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Finished of my bottle of Larceny, always have some Larceny in your heart. Part of my nefarious plan to make room in my liquor cabinet for the ginormous bottle of Willet in the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Not a classy picture, but it’s going in the trash can. I Really like HM10y, especially when it’s a good one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 A healthy final pour to sip on while cleaning the house a bit. The delicious aromas from the glass are only bested by the LCD Soundsystem album playing in the background. Sad to see this one go, but knowing me, I probably have another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I'd gotten in on SAOS when they still were putting out 11 yo MGP stuff. The new 5yo MGP releases are pretty good though, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Today saw the last pour of the Lot B I opened to celebrate our 12yr anniversary back in October. Wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad either. Off to open the next bottle and trying to think about which bottle from the bunker I will use for the 13yr anniversary this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 It’s midnight and my wife decided to have a dance party with her brother in our living room. Who am I to object? She even brought out her LED party light from her old DJing days. Oh, and this 4R PS OESQ bit the dust just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an easy one, D. - Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 13yr Rye! All we have to do is find you one (was this a hint???)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
