Finished off a 4 Roses Small batch select last night. Wanna know the best part? It was pulled from the bunker.

You have some work ahead of you to empty as many bottles of bourbon as I have of Bushmill’s, Tullamore, Jameson’s…..welcome aboard.

Looks like you went with the popular suggestion & took it to heart. Good Stuff Miss M...

What's next; A new one or a repeat performance???

I'll definitely be getting another Eagle Rare. I have a couple of different bottles here that will soon be joining the emptys.

Another one bites the dust...

I'm making a concerted effort to cull open bottles.

Keeping with the MM theme.  One back in the bunker and I know where one is in town some definitely heading there Monday.

I normally don’t drink bourbon over ice, but for some reason this ECBP was best with ice. Now, Weller 12 needs nothing but a glass, and maybe someone to share it with.

As usual, it seems like the final pour from the bottle is the best one.

Getting through some of my favourites recently.

If I'm sitting inside I'll add water to my ECBP but if out by the fire pit I'll drink it with a big cube.

I brought a selection of 8 harder to find bourbons to Easter dinner for people to try. Some did not live to tell the tale:

Been working on this one for quite a while.  Bottle from a private barrel for charity.  Did good, did well.

Celebrating being back in PR.  Finished a nearly empty bottle I have been nursing, rather like the last one above.  It was good, sweet with a bite (much like some of the local fauna).  I could be biased.  My son picked it up at the distillery for me, so sentiment is involved. 

 

I gave him a hard time over the name.  Until I tried it.

Killed off a 375 of private select myself right now with a heavy pour

Do you by chance have access to MM 101 in @MissMohawk?

No, I haven't come across it anywhere here. Makers Mark and Maker's 46 is all I can seem to find.

Here's the latest and greatest to say goodbye.

That's one heck of a goodbye!

Well, since I retired, I’ve gotten a bit lazy. Some of my empties end up sitting around a while before I decide to put them in their proper place. FWIW, I keep empty 200’s & 375’s for experiments, blends and samples for friends, family, and just maybe a liquor store manager or two.

Ah.  Makes sense.  Especially the store manager part.

 

Our empties seem to find their way (or so I've informally heard from the recycling outfit) to the fine people who make pitorro in the hills of Puerto Rico.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitorro

I'm sensing a theme.

I finished off an ER 10y last night.

This was good, not great. Big squat bottle clears up a lot of room on the shelf though!

I agree with your assessment, good not great as I revisted after you post.   There was so much hype around that bottle, makes you wonder the why often these days.
