smokinjoe Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Saying goodbye to a Pikesville Rye. First, and probably only bottle. It won't be missed. Too many other great ryes out there.JOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashPuppy Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Well, I was browsin through some bottles and realized that my Basil Hayden was looking extremely low. I poured it into a glass, and realized it wasn't worth even sitting down to drink. (enter Gillman mode) So I pulled out the Booker's and topped the glass off some. I must say, it is quite tasty. Almost tasty enough for me to pick up another bottle of BH just for Vatting with the Booker's. Hmmm... Maybe Gary is onto something with all this crazy vatting stuff.:grin: :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks Flash but I didn't invent this stuff. Four Roses does essentially what you did, so did Julian to make his fine current ORVW 13 year old rye (it is a mingling of two rye whiskeys I understand) and it goes on.

TNbourbon Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 My Black Maple Hill 18yo rye bit the dust tonight, following a coupla 2006 visits to Bardstown. While I enjoyed it well enough, its $80+ price tag will likely keep me from ever replacing it -- there are just too many other ryes I like as much or more for under half that cost (sometimes WAY under half $80) to justify it.

jspero Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 My last Weller 12 in the old style bottle bit it last night in a rare (for me) mid-week drink.Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkyBanjo Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Anyone know if there is a difference between the old Weller 12 and the new besides the label. I have a couple of spare old ones that I'll bunker if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Good bye to a Very Rare Old Heaven Hill 10 yr. I may never understand how a bourbon this good can be so cheap...JOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Anyone know if there is a difference between the old Weller 12 and the new besides the label. I have a couple of spare old ones that I'll bunker if that's the case.Although there's an ongoing evolution in Weller, as BT moves through the wheated bourbon made at Bernheim into the wheated bourbon made at BT, but I don't believe any specific product changed occurred simultaneous with the package change.

JDutton Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'm finishing an EWSB 95 tonight. Fortunately, I've got more, and there's plenty to be had locally.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward_call_me_Ed Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I put to old freinds to rest today. WT 12 year old that I bought last June in the duty free and a WT Russell's Reserve 101 that I have had open for about two years. Both tasted great. I will replace the 12 year old soon. May never have the chance to replace the WTRR 101. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyCritter Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 A bottle of Rittenhouse BIB has joined the empty bottle ranks tonight. More is on hand, but I'm preparing to go into BTAC mode for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T47 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 W.L. Weller 12 went to the recycle bin tonight. I still have another, and I am glad of that. I think this is a great Bourbon for $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtn Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Finished off a bottle of Baker's over the weekend. Making room in the cabinet for new selections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedVette Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Had a party Saturday night. Finished off my last bottle Sam Houston with the 10yr neck label, a gold wax Hirsch and a The Macallan 15 year old fine oak. Many, many wine bottles are history, but none that are irreplaceable. Saw a couple drunks going for the Van Blankle so I had to drag out the baseball bat. We had a few civilized pours so there is still a fair amount left.So Long, you Gold Wax Hirsch, I knew thee well.

gr8erdane Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Before he left to join his family back in St Louis for the weekend, my roommate finished off the bottle of Old Granddad 114 he bought when we first hit Colorado back in August. To show him that I felt his pain I finished off the ETL bought that same night. As I sighed and looked at the empty bottle, I saw the picture of Elmer through the front and he seemed to be saying, "Don't worry, you'll be seeing more of me soon...."

jburlowski Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 An old friend was passing through the area and stopped by last night. We finished off a bottle of Hirsch 16. Sad to see it go but it was for a good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedVette Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Tonight we say goodbye to the last 12 yr old split label WT in the collection. I have to admit I can't taste the difference between the split label and the joined label, but it still feels bad to let this one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I had a few bottles that only had a pour or so left in them so I finished them all this weekend. Goodbye to WTRB, RHF, and ER10. I’m sure I’ll end up buying all 3 again at some point but for now I’m glad to have some space where I keep my open bottles for a new bottle or 2 over the next few weeks.
