What's Open On Your Bar?

[Crowes]

I generally keep my open bottles to around 8-12. Right now, open:

OWA

ER10

FR1B OESO Barrel Strength

Bookers

High West Rendezvous Rye

Noah's Mill

WLW 2012

Jefferson's Reserve

EC Barrel Proof

Angel's Envy Rye

Aberlour A'Bunah

[Tony Santana]

Way too many opens right now.

EWSB '04, EC12, EC21, Ritt BIB

ER10, RHF, Well 12, Stagg Jr.

PVW 15, Lot B

WLW '13, THH '13

CEHT SmB, BP

SA OS 7, VOS 11, VOS 19

HW Bourye, APR, 36th Vote

KC, OGD114

4RSmB

WTRB

WR 4W

OF Birthday '13

MM

Bulleit

Will Rye 4 yr.

Jefferson's SmB

Prichard's Double Chocolate

Add to that some blends, JD, Irish, etc. I've got some I'm dying to try - Booker's Roundtable, Dickel 9/103, 4R OESK, VG The Fox - but I need to cull the herd first. Based on fill level, RHF and KC are the next candidates for elimination.

Sorry guys, but I just can't post all my opens it would take up way too much space,just took a count and there's 70 open different bottles,some near extinction others just in their prime, and others recently released. I totally enjoy being able to pick amongst them whenever I wish... After all when they're open is when they're the best! What good is a bottle that's closed? IMHO

[Tucker]

Surprisingly little...

FR 125th

FR OESV, Jackie's

FR Super Premium

Handy (2011)

Stagg (2008)

Hibiki 12

Hibiki 17

Dalmore 15

Redbreast 12 CS

...and it's been several years since I haven't had an open Weller of some sort.

I'm the same way. I usually open a bottle the same day I bring it home. Lately though, I've been trying to clear out some of the near-empties to make some more room in the cabinet. Out of about 80-odd bottles, the only ones currently unopened are all recent pickups (2013 GTS, 2013 OFBB, ORVW10/107, Lot B, Bookers 25th, both Orphan Barrel releases, Parker's POH, Redbreast 12, and a Green Spot). Boy, when I type it all out, I really need to do some drinking this weekend!

Thought I would post a pic of the "Whisky Wall", part of my office,bar,jam room,this is what I have to look at while I'm working or playing!

[fishnbowljoe]

I am down to a very few bottles open right now. For those that saw my post in the "Empty Bottle Support" thread, you'll understand why. Below is my open list.

Binny's Willett 8 year old wheated 122.1 proof

It will probably be a good while before I finish the Willett and PHC. Those barrel proofers seem to last a heckuva lot longer for some reason. Still, you just never know. :skep:

Agreed. I had four open but they have been hit hard. Another PS, a 2012 SB LE and a SmBLE 125th have all bitten the dust lately.

certain bottles have a way of jumping out of the cabinet and into your hand-I'm sure you have experienced a similar phenomenon:grin:
