AaronWF Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 My number of opened bottles has continuously ramped up since last October, and I think it's waaaay too many. This list does not include the half dozen or so open bottles of liquor which AREN'T whisk(e)y.Then again, while I've been trying to diligently finish off bottles, I keep getting a hankering for opening new ones; I'm trying to resist. I might just be at the point of accepting this as normal (thanks in no small part to seeing how expansive the collections around here are!). If I like a whiskey, I want to make it last as long as possible, so I would only want to push to finish a bottle if I didn't so much care for it, but with so much open that I do love, why would I drink something that's not as good?See, it's a Catch 22. I want to have Booker's and KC SB on hand. I'm not one much for delaying gratification... so I guess I fit right in here eh?:grin:Pappy 20Pappy 15Lot BEW SB '00OF Bday '10WLW '10ERVOB BiBOGD BiBHandy '10Handy '09VWFRRHW Double RyeRussel's Reserve RyeRittenhouse Rye BiBHudson Manhattan RyeKoval's Lion's Pride Dark OatDickel No. 9St. George Single MaltMichael Collins Irish BlendedCaol Ila unpeated CSGlenfiddich 12I... don't THINK I'm leaving anything out...

Please, step to the right and have a chocotini or whatever it is you probably drink.Priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrviognier Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'm hoping your wife doesn't check out your posts. If she does, next time you take a nip, your OGD 114 might have a slightly salty taste. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stayed my hand on a few: Old Rip 107, ETL 15, BT binny's, RHF, Ritt BIB, MM, some bunkered Weller 12's and VOB's, but I've either got one that's open or I've had it enough I know what to expect.

Jonny.Applebury Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 My wife encourages me to buy more than I am comfortable buying. Somehow, the guilt of not drinking it as fast as I buy it gets to me. Here's a list of what's open. I haven't been opening much, lately. I wanted to get down to a reasonable number of open bottles before opening more. Most of what's open is from when I began experimenting last year. I've since purchased a large amount of bourbon and rye, so the bunkers hold a better balance of American vs. foreign whiskies than is represented here in the open list. I was going to include pictures of the bar and bunker, but I think the images are too large to be attached.Canadian whiskyCrown Royal BlackAmerican whiskeyJack Daniel's BlackYahara Bay (whiskey made in Madison, WI)Maker's MarkJim Beam BlackBernheim WheatRebel ReserveVery Old Barton BIBRussell's Reserve RyeElijah Craig 12Sazerac RyeGentleman JackForeign whisk(e)yJamesonRed Breast 12Bunnahabhain 12Bowmore LegendGlen Garioch 8Tomatin 12Tamdhu 10Glenlivet 12Glenlivet 18Glenlivet Nadurra 16Glenfiddich 12Highland Park 12Dalmore 12Laphroaig 10Ardbeg 10Amrut PeatedMacallan 12Balvenie 14 Caribbean caskBalvenie 12 Double woodTalisker 175th Anniversary editionTalisker 10Talisker Distiller's Edition 1998/2009Lagavulin Distiller's Edition 1991/2007SMWS 4.145SMWS 24.113SMWS 27.87SMWS 76.74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
