[fishnbowljoe]

Wow! It's hard to believe no one's posted here in over a year. Reckon I'll get the ball rolling again. I've finished off a couple of bottles recently, and I opened up a couple more to take their place. In doing so, I noticed that I've shifted back to having all BT/Weller's opened. Yes, it's happened before, but it's been a while. I do have a couple of non-Weller/BT bottles opened, but I'm saving those to bring to the Sampler. Also, and FWIW, the reason I have so many PS OWA's open is because I'm going to try and do another of my Weller Blends to bring to the Sampler. 

Here's my list:

2012 WLW-123.4 proof

Stagg Jr Batch #4-132.2 proof

ER 10

BT

ETL

Weller 12

Weller SR-Private Selection

OWA-Private Selections- X4

Cheers! Joe

I try and keep my open bottles around 5, with a bottle open in my garage (usually a BIB).

At the moment, I have an RHF, EC12, ER10, JBB8yr inside, and a JWD BIB/EC12 vatting in the garage.

[Richnimrod]

Hmmm. What ain't open on the shelves?    I have many in the bunker unopened; but (nearly?) all are duplicates of open stuff.   So a short answer would have to be; "Everything".   HA!

Steve, that's just obscene! 

Why? With very few exceptions, it actually confused me!  Until I saw your signature at the end, I thought I was reading a list of my opens!

This is a good thread to see the 'state of the art'.  Also, if you see someone's opens and have a question about what their current thoughts are, you can pm them for an opinion.  Thanks, Joe, for restarting this.  

In my case the 'opened', omitting the 'closed', are

Weller 12

Old Weller Antique 107

High West Rendezvous and Midwinter ND

Willett 4 Yr Rye

Elijah Craig 12 and 12 BP (batch 5)

E T Lee

Pikesville, Ritt BIB, Rittlepig blend, Wiser's Legacy,

Steve, so do you prefer the Legacy to the 18yr?  Every few weeks I get a hankering to add a 'signature' Canadian to the bar but I can never figure out what would fit the bill.  I often debate one of the JP Wisers but in the end I never do pull the trigger. The Legacy seems to be the only Canadian you have open, is that by design? 

[Tony Santana]

Too many to list.  I'd guess about 60+ bourbons and at least another 25 whiskeys of other various stripes.

I've never had the 18 year. I've had it in my hand numerous times about ready to purchase and decided not to. Only having one Canadian open is not by design really. It's more a matter of me not being into ryes nearly as much as bourbon and not really being much into the Canadian whiskeys. I bought Legacy a couple years ago and do like it. I struggled to finish a bottle of Lot 40 purchased at the same time so I've not been inclined to buy more Canadians since then.

[PaulO]

I usually only keep a few open in the cabinet, meanwhile plenty unopened waiting in the bunker.  So right now it's:

Old Fitz bond

Old Grand-dad bond

Rittenhouse

Pikesville

Cutty Sark Prohibition (Man, it's taking a long time to finish that one.  It seems decent.  I guess I'm just not a malt whisky guy.)

[camduncan]

I started to write a list and gave up... took a photo instead.  Apologies for the bad lighting and photography.  It makes me realise I need to finish a few of these off!

A couple of open bottles are missing as they were upstairs: Willett XCF, Knob Creek, Nelson County.

FWIW, I really like the Wiser's Legacy.  It lacks that sweet, maple syrup overtone I often find in Canadian whiskey.  Just got an Alberta Dark Batch but haven't tried it.  The Hand selected is sweet also, as I previously noted - at least to me.

[mbroo5880i]

The open bottles on my bar are at their lowest level in several years.  I have plenty of bottles in the bunker.  However, I only have three open bottles of whiskey.  Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye, Larceny and Macallan 21 year Fine Oak.  The majority of the bottles in the bunker are not everyday type whiskeys.  I plan to add some every day pours this week.  I have other spirits open (e.g., rum, tequila, vodka).
