Fort Smith, Arkansas...where else? :cool:

Interesting to see Old Overholt - a rye that doesn't get a lot of love here. So little, in fact, that I'm going to buy a bottle and try it. Have you liked it a long time, or is it something you're just trying?

And welcome to SB!

Overholt has been a standard for me for some time. I don't really get the off-putting taste that some people do in drinking it. I'm probably more won over by the nose (which I find rather refreshing) than anything else. It's not life-changing, but at around $14, I'll continue to restock empties.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

Josh, wait a minute!. What about the PHC 10'? Don't tell me you haven't opened that badboy yet?

Last time you posted a picture, you were using the top of the washer as your liquor cabinet. Need an update.

Damn Josh, any room left for the mice?

No, thank God. I would store them in the crawlspace, but I don't want the rats to develop a taste for the good stuff.

No, I haven't opened it yet but I probably will next week. I'm using the cabinet under the sink as my liquor cabinet currently, and there's pretty limited space under there. Ah...the joys of a "cozy" home.

Thanks for the warm welcome. :rolleyes:

Guess this is the wrong place for someone trying to branch out a bit, then?

Theres always room for more. Whats a decent $30-40 opening purchase? Keeping in mind I live in a control state, and our selection is poor.

$30-40 opening?

If you want to open that high you can't go wrong with Four Roses Single Barrel, Wild Turkey Rare Breed and/or Old Rip Van Winkle 10/107.

I suggest OGD114. It is big, it is bad, and it will probably kick the shit out of ya. If you survive that, you'll be ready to go a few rounds with whatever you find on the shelf.

I think he meant that your post should have been in the New To SB Forum. Regardless, welcome to SB. Have fun and enjoy. Cheers! Joe

Back to the present. :grin: I've been trying my best to finish a lot of the open bottles I have. Seems I've been doing a good job as I've gone from 39 bottles open a couple of months ago, to 22 as we speak. :shocked: I know. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it. I will say that I've had a lot of help from my bowling team on Wednesday nights. I make sure Gary and I have some "good" stuff, and I bring the "so-so" stuff for the other guys on our team, and to share with a few others. :lol:

So here is my list as we speak.

1. Canadian Club

2. Crown Royal

3. Crown Royal Black

4. 08 FR Mariage

5. Gibson's 12 yr old Canadian Whiskey

6. Jack Daniel's

7. 1977 Old Crow

8. 1982 Old Fitz BIB

9. 1988 Old Fitz Prime

10. Tax stamped ND Old Taylor

11. 1970 Old Thompson Blended Whiskey

12. Kahn's Old Weller Antique

13. Pappy 15

14. 2010 Parker's Heritage Collection

15. Wild Turkey 8 101 Export

16. Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve 10/101

17. Wild Turkey Joe's Reserve 1:1 vatting of WTRB and WTRR 10/90

18. Willett's 5 yr old-Gonano

19. 09 BTAC William Larue Weller

20. Weller Centennial

21. Weller SR

22. WRMC Sonoma Cutrer

FWIW, I have opened a couple of bottles in the last couple of weeks. The Canadian's I keep around because that's what I was weaned on, and my son likes them. I still like them occasionally too for a change of pace. The JD is for when some guys I used to bowl with come over. The WRMC SC is because, well, we're all allowed a screw up once in a while. :grin: I'm not counting J.T.S. Brown BIB because it's the last pour from this bottle. Cheers! Joe
