1792. But I gave it away as a present. Since that might happen again, I've taken the precaution of adding cheap but good stuff to my "bunker" as well as the really good stuff: currently bunking Canadian Mist, Distiller's Pride Bourbon, and Jeffersons.

The first bottle I bought for bunkerring was OF repeal. So far I have 5 total. The way I see it is I can not get OF signature here and 10.00 for a 375ml+ 10.00 for a Glencairn= great deal.

Hirsch 16, 3 bottles @ $75 ea. I've since traded one for a Pappy 23 but I still have the other two in the hole.

My largest bunkering purchase was 2.5 cases (15 btls) of Julio's Centennial 13 yr. I loved the stuff and couldn't believe it was going away. I still have 6 in the hole and 1 on the bar.... I refrain from drinking it like I used to.

Five bottles of Pappy 15 when I stumbled across them at $37 each! Then a few BHC's (two VSOF's and a Weller Centennial). I also put away a hefty stash of VOB BIB and AAA 10 when rumors circulated that they would no longer be available in Chicagoland. After that things went seriously crazy!

My first bunkered bottles were OFBB 07 and 08 which I bought last year. Since then the bunker's grown to those two bottles plus the following:

1 PVW 15

1 Lot B

1 OFBB 09 (bought 2 at the same time, not so sure I need one in the bunker)

6 200 Ml bottles of DSP16 Old Fitz BIB

3 Weller 12

4 OWA with age statement liters

2 OWA with age statement 750's

6 JPS 17

And after re-reading this thread...I don't think I have enough in the bunker....I'm sick!

I've seen your stash of bourbon and you have enough...you could drink a bottle a day for a year and still have some left...I on the other hand am still in need of additional supplies! I checked today and I'm only at the 62 bottle mark in the bunker...I will stop when I get to 100...;)

I dont know about stopping but I feel you. I counted them last night and I'm around 65.

Yeah, that's what I said. Currently 110+. Haven't taken an inventory since I got back from the KBF. Joe

269 unopened, plus more on the way this weekend and later down the road.

Probably will hit the 300 mark by year's end.

And then my goal for 2010 is to see how few bottles I will add.

It all started with a bottle of ORVW 15 (Lawrenceburg) that I stumbled across in an LA wine shop. Can't stop adding more Van Winkle and BTAC. If I find any more OWA 7/107, it is going in as well.

I recently started an official bunker with my extra bottles of WC, I do a few unopened ones still, namely EWSB 94/99 and EC12.

Welcome back Jason, how's the kid?
It is good to be back! Sydney is doing great, however I have my nephew coming into the house tomorrow (6 month old) for a couple weeks while his mom has brain surgery. Should make for an interesting time at the house but we are happy to help out the family. Hope all is well with you and the family.

I'll add another bunkered bottle so it isn't a total thread jack...ER 10/101

Well, my first was Midleton Very Rare Irish, but the second item was Pappy LotB.

Shamefully, the third bunkered item was GlenRothes 1975 sc*tch (grin).
