SAOS gave up the ghost tonight.  Bottled by the famous Sarah.

An empty bottle is a sad sight.  However, it is also a cause for celebration, especially if it was a bottle enjoyed by a member of SB.com.  We shed a tear for your loss but embrace a smile knowing you enjoyed it.  We wish you fond memories.

Polished off another bottle of my go-to, KCSmB; lots more where that came from.

 

I see the MM101 is nearly empty, looks like it'll be joining the party after dinner...

The work conference bottle took its final  bow tonight.  I had some help from a coworker.  Heading home tomorrow morning.

Bottle kill of MC.  My wife always asks me why I drink that Mellow Yellow?  Today it is gearing myself up for the onslaught of candy hoarders. 😀

A 1978 bottling-- 40 years of plastic cap taint created something far beyond bourbon. Surprised that the drain didn’t spit it back out.

Yes-- makes me very hesitant to open these two. it's been 30+ hours and I still can't get the weird plastic taste out of my mouth.

I think this speaks to the notion that this stuff is made to be drank.  Not hoarded away in cases for decades to later be bought off of widows for a fraction of what was paid and then thrown out for funky taint and rotted corks.  Drink up boys!

Finished off a bottle of BT Kosher Rye Recipe last night. Absolutely loved this bottle. Wish I had a backup, but every time I've seen it since, it's been at secondary prices, which I cannot abide.

This bottle is gone and will not be replaced.    I have come to really enjoy WT products in the past year, but for me I really enjoy the "creamier, fuller flavor" of RRSiB even though it is pricier.  Drank both in the same night a couple of times this week, and to me there was a significant difference.  Could be that the RRSiB was from a fantastic single barrel, never to be found by me again, but I will continue to search.

Third night was Buff Trace mash 1. not pictured is an empty vessel of Stagg jr./Eagle Rare blend, which was a close second to the GTS in blind tastings.IMG_7953.thumb.jpg.d554ba57d2527e2912944dd6a7988b63.jpg

 

I brought all these, and the fellas were very appreciative!

Following in Joe’s footsteps.

 

I think WSR has gotten significantly better since the bottle changed.  Maybe it’s all in my head. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This bottle (2018) had a delicious balance of syrupy sweetness & red hots candy.  Love it!

Killed two.  And sorry to see them go.  The price jump on Booker's lost me a while back, but I still like it everytime I have it.  And the Beam Bonded is better than Old Tub, IMO.

Still in shock that we beat the Bucs.

Just unpacked the tailgate gear and killed this one.

Yup.  Game was a surprise.  As was the ending.  A promise of things to come?  I don't think so.  Wash's running game reminded me of the George Allen years - four yards per play on average wins the game every time unless the other side is getting five per.  I'm not expecting a repeat next week.

 

Started with the dregs of a WT 101 KSBW then switched to a basic BT.  About three ounces altogether.  Got so engrossed in the game I forgot to drink up.
