Empty Bottles Support Group New & Improved

[OscarV]

My computer was down from Tues afternoon until yesterday.

Thursday I came to the end of a Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit and had no where to go for support.

I was a spine-less weeping mess, I needed some support and could not get on-line to SB.com for it.

The best way to handle the problem I thought was to open a new bottle of WTKS.

So I did, it helped a lot, but I thought what if I had no more, the results could have been tragic.

Maybe we should form a phone tree like AA has when you need to call someone to talk you through the night.

Oscar, just checked my missed calls and history on my phone!! No calls from the (517). You know I'm here for you brother, now I know it's a drive but I also have a WTKS open on the bar and it's here to help you through as well!

Should have some more tonight from the South (:toast:). So that will help both of us out.

Cheers!

Tony

People helping people. That's what it's all about.

Reached the bottom of an A. H. Hirsch 16-year-old gold foil last night. There are more in the bunker (not sure how many, not ready to look), but each drop is precious.

Last night spun_cookie and I finished off my 1969 Old Fitzgerald BIB from the "Sons of Erin" decanter -- it held up well against a mighty array of other S-W expressions!

(Although the decanter had long been, er, decanted, into a wine bottle, I kept it -- since it says "The Emerald Isle" it now belongs to Emerald!)

ANd thank you I do sir.. I have replaced teh cork on it and it will soon be full of some 80s/90s Old Fitz - yummy

on a sad note... my MM Black will die tonight... :grin:

[CorvallisCracker]

Finished of my first bottle of ETL. Last shot went into this morning's coffee.

Now I only need to finish off an OHH 8/86, a Weller Antique, a Weller 12, a PVW 15 and a Hirsch 16 BW and I can start buying bourbon again!

Notice I just said bourbon...when the 2008 BTACs show up I will grab a bottle of Saz 18 regardless.

Finished off a Bernheim Wheat Whiskey last night. I really like that whiskey, and will replace it, but I'm not looking forward to dropping the $40 on it.

But, I was able to pry off the cool copper label, and it has become a nice adornment to the door of my beer fridge.

Wish I could find it for $40 here in FL. Cheapest I've seen it is $47.99

And great idea about the label - I don't have a beer fridge, but I'm sure I can find some place to put mine.

Well, the last of my MM Black wax met teh bottom of my reidel tonight. This is a bourbon that is hard to beleive that is MM. Great stuff. Cherries, vanilla, caramel... buttery... under first blush it is near a SW....

Killed another Julio's Weller Centennial. 9 left but I'd have to check.... maybe 8, Yikes!!!

[Stones]

Over the weekend a few of my drinking buddies passed away too:

R.I.P.

WTRR/10yo/101proof

Blantons Special Reserve

May they be replaced in great haste... :cry:

[fishnbowljoe]

Finally finished that bottle of Ezra B 12 yr old. Now I'm going to work on my bottle of WTRB. Joe

[SBOmarc]

Does a Pony Keg of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale qualify?

It's Gone!!!

[fishnbowljoe]

7 and 3/4 gallons down, and unknown quantities yet to be consumed. Glad you're enjoying the kegerator. Joe

Nice work, Marc! Was that all you, or did you get some help from those "friends" who just happen to "drop by"?

As they say: A friend with a Keg, is a friend indeed.

:toast:

JOE

[SBOmarc]

Well, let's just say once the word got out there were more than a few " drop in " guests.

A Good Time Was Had By All!!!

[fishnbowljoe]

And the bottle of WTRB tonight. Joe

Last night my bottle of Weller 19 (1980/2000) gave up it's last pour.

That bottle was open for over 14 months, which is longer than any bottle I've ever had. I liked it more every time I had a drink of it, and it will be missed with no replacements in sight.

[JamesW]

Killed another Pappy 15 last night after 3 delicious pours. I have only 4 bunkered at this point. This fall I will really try and stock up these puppies.

You killed a Pappy with only three pours? What the hell kinda glass are you using man!?!?!?:bigeyes:

[callmeox]

Must be those stemless glasses from World Market.

[barturtle]

Number 161 of 204 Willett Family Reserve 4yo East Bay Study Group #1...a bottle I have much enjoyed and will miss.

[cowdery]

A Four Roses Small Batch. It will be replaced but I feel less urgency knowing the nearest bottle is within a mile of me now, rather than 350 like it was not long ago.

[spun_cookie]

Basil died and trying to kill off a 1/2 bottle of Woodsford.... so close to a new opening spree
