How many bottles do you own of the Antique Collection?

[Klepackage]

I'm on that same mission. I try and clear out the bottles I don't like as much though. I'd rather get through them and reward myself with something good once I'm done.

I slowly work my way down. When I finish two bottles, I'll open a new one.

[leebo]

Uh, haven't counted in awhile. I'm guessing around 20. Have saved 1 of all the GT stags made. Most of them are the ryes. Cleaned the bunker last week and found a hirsh and a 101RR that I didn't account for.

[luv2hunt]

I refuse to go count because I don't want to know :blush: :blush:

I probably need to get rid of some :bigeyes: :bigeyes:

[The Boozer]

TJ, I would agree with the Josh comment...As for you, well I'll help you where I can!

Tony

I'm working on it Tony, up to two Handy's and a WLW.

Opened one of the Handy's - gooood stuff!!!

TJ

[chefnash51]

a wee bit of the 07 Stagg left.

opened:

08 Handy

08 WLW

Bunkered:

2x 08 Handy

WLW

2x 08 Stagg

might pick up one more WLW.

I kept passing on the few Saz 18s I saw and bought the extra Handys.. The only ones I still see on the shelves are WLW and Handy.. saw only 1 ER17 since the release.

Someday I will pick up a bottle of the Saz

[camduncan]

I've got two. A 2004 Saz and Stagg - both open. Lately I prefer to put my money towards bottles I know I can find again if I take a liking to something. That pretty much crosses the Antique Collection off my shopping list.

[MissingKY]

I've only got one, an as-yet-unopened 2007 Stagg. I tend to stay out of the $50-plus pool, but after recently having a particularly nice pour of Handy, I think I might have to bend that rule a bit.

[chefnash51]

went ahead and added one bottle of Saz 18 and ER 17 .. making my BTAC 08 collection complete! :bigeyes:

[OscarV]

Add another one, '07 WLW, that makes 18 for all the BTAC's.

And another one for a total of 19, I got an '05 WLarueW last week.

[funknik]

In da bunker:

3 Handy '08

1 ER17 '08

1 Stagg '08

1 Stagg '05 fall

Would love to add a WLW or two, but can't find any of those buggers.

[squire]

Tried and liked them all but don't really keep much around, like to keep things simple.

[The Boozer]

At this stage of the game, the BTAC score card reads:

Grag's Friend: 95 bottles

cigarNV: 58 + 12 opened

ACDetroit: 55

Virus-of-life: 40

barturtle: 36

ggilbertva: 33

Luv2hunt: 25-30

Blue robot: 22

jburlowski: 22

Illfarmboy: 20

OscarV: 17

The rest of us are just amateurs!.:grin:

[tommyboy38]

I picked up 8 dusty bottles yesterday which brings my total to 18 or so.

I may add to that total today.

[docbible]

51 bottles unopened and 5 open. tim

[The Boozer]

And we have an update; docbible moves into 4th place and coming up fast on AC Detroit.

tommyboy, is that dusties or BTAC bottles?

PS: Its Greg's Friend, not "Grag" -

maybe I should learn to spell and proof read better

TJ

[tommyboy38]

That's 18 of the BTAC, Boozer. They were all 2006 or earlier so I called them dusty.

And I think i'd like to crack the top 5 so I'll update asap.

[tommyboy38]

I came home and counted...the total is 19

[TNbourbon]

Mine have thinned. I have three open -- the '08 Stagg, ER17, and Saz. I have a backup of each. And, if I recall correctly, I still have an unopened '07 Stagg.

Now, historically, I'm sure I've owned 100 or more individual bottles. Long gone, though, via consumption (by myself and others), trade, gift, or sale.

[tommyboy38]

I have yet to crack one open as I usually wait for a good event to celebrate with good friends. I do have plans on opening some special bottles when we sell each of the two houses my wife and I own and buy our next house. Currently, those will be a VWFRR, a 2006 WLW and a Handy. PVW20 is awaiting the birth of a child...as are my wife and I.

[OscarV]

I was up to 23 after buying a few last week, but I shipped 4 over the Pond.

[tommyboy38]

I'm up to 20 with the addition of a bottle of 2005 ER17.

That makes it 19 closed,1 open.

[DeanSheen]

2 07 Stagg

1 07 Saz 18

4 08 Handy

2 08 WLW

9 and counting. Lot of work to get them. A Handy is getting popped this weekend since I finally have some backups.

[Josh]

I have five times as many as I had this time last year.

Sadly, that still equals zero.

Josh

[funknik]

I picked up three each of the '09 barrel proofers this year, so that brings it up to:

3 '08 Handy

1 '08 ER17

1 '08 WLW

1 '05 Stagg (fall)

3 '09 Weller

3 '09 Stagg

2 '09 Handy

so 14 in the bunker, plus an '08 Stagg, '09 Weller & '09 Handy open.
