Collecting

[onewman]

Okay, I admit it. I’m a collector. I don’t drink bourbon or rye, but I have what many might consider a fair collection. Unfortunately, I have none of the old collectables (ok, maybe a few) but I have made a concerted effort to collect all of the current collectables (Van Winkles, BTAC, etc.) over the past 3 to 4 years. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I had a drink of bourbon or rye (scotch is another story), yet I feel compelled to collect all of the whiskeys that all so eagerly seek. Why do I collect do you ask? It’s simple, because I know it’s a limited commodity and because I can. I collect because I may want a taste of something that is no longer available (or will no longer be available in the future) and I don’t want to pay a bigger premium in the future or rely on another’s generosity. That said, no bottle I own is sacrosanct and is available to any guest, but I would never sell a bottle that I own. I may be willing to trade in the future, but until the right time comes along, I am collecting – or is that hoarding. Any other collectors out there?

[bjbronwyn]

Im sure that most of us are collectors, I know I certanly am!

The thing with some of us is we cant help but crack some bottles.

I have been a JD and WT collector for a fair while with about 250 bottles (most full) in the collection. This makes its quite hard to purchase drinkers, but I have about 12 bottles that are open from a variety of distillers.

I love collecting but I love the whiskey just as much, and Ive realised that all whiskey is made for the enjoyment of the cosumer. Some of us enjoy the collecting side, but most enjoy the taste, and the good times that tend to go along with them. JMO

[Bmac]

I started off just wanting a full bar. Then I started researching what was "the best." When I hit bourbon it was like an entire universe had opened up. It started with my one and only Pappy (15yr from 2008). Since then I wanted to taste the best of the best. Then I realized that I lacked the connections to really buy a lot of these bottles so I started hoarding all I could. I knew the collectors were out there because the best were always gone but none of the people I hung around had even heard of them. Most everyone I know is scared to pay more than $25 for any one bottle of anything, so would never buy GTS or ORVW if they saw it.

Then I started trying to buy two bottles at a time. One to drink and one to keep. The only exception was JPS18 and WLW where I have two spare bottles.

I may or may not continue collecting. It's getting harder and harder as it is catching on. I have a small location that can get some hard-to-get bottles but he can't get much. For the spring release this year he only got Lot B, and that's it.

I have to come to the realization that the collectors who had long established contacts may have finally won the race. I think they see the trend catching on and are now more fervent than ever to buy as much as they can. Here in Texas it's hard enough to break into the circle. Even after 4 years now I am a diamond in the rough to the small time and a blip on the radar to the big names.

Regardless...my appreciation of the well crafted spirit will remain and I am thankful for the experiences I have had and the bottles I have acquired.

[bgageus]

I think that once I passed the 100 bottle mark I started thinking I was collecting. Most bottles that I have I do intend to drink at some point, but I seem to buy 4 for every one I drink. Maybe I need more friends.

I think I realized I had a collecting problem when I went out and got a 2011 Saz 18, when I had one and a half bottles of the 2010. I knew it was vatted, and the same stuff but I needed to get the 2011 release, and I cant wait for the 2012. Or maybe it was when I bought the 2011 handy and have never opened the 2010 to know if I even like it. When did you realize that you have a collecting problem?

[AaronWF]

I don’t drink bourbon or rye, but I have what many might consider a fair collection.

[BradleyC]

If you don't drink it, it's not a fair collection.

+1

I have only collected anything that I had a personal interest in. I do have a "bourbon collection" of bottles that may not get opened anytime soon, but I also have a bunker and a cabinet full of opens. The bunker is a lot bigger than the collecton and is for drinking. I have the collection and the bunker because I have a sincere interest in the product, the process, the history, the people, the consumption, and the overall experience and satisfaction. I can't understand why someone would bother otherwise

I too have a sincere interest in the product, the process, the history, the people, and the overall experience and satisfaction. I just choose not to consume at this time. I fully plan on opening and experiencing even bottle before my demise, but if I don't have them now, I know that I can't taste them later.

[Max Power]

I'm a collector, but most of the bottles are open. I can't wait to try them to see if it's a well priced gem that I need to bunker. I'm a bit different than most of you because my collection is tequila. I've never posted it anywhere before. I only post it now because of all of the questions that I've gotten from you good folks regarding tequila in the Non-Whiskey Forum and in chat last night. Here it is:

There's probably 15-20 empty bottles not listed. Plenty of crap that I drank when I didn't know the good stuff was out there.

It's fun to collect because of the hunt. It's more fun to share with friends the stuff that you can introduce them to. If you have questions about anything on this list, ask away (probably in PM or Tequila Forum...I don't want to totally hijack a thread).

[onewman]

Great to see another collector - I started collecting tequila also, but it got very expensive, very quickly as I am somewhat of a completist and had to have the blanco, reposed and anejo of each variation. I have collected some and continue to collect a few, but these are not on my hit list.

[macdeffe]

I'm a hoarder

I simply purchase faster than I can drink. Soon prices will be so high for everything and I will be happy with my cupboard

If you want Port Ellen, Caperdonich, SW-juice 5 and 10 years from now its a good investment to buy now, thats what I make myself believe

Steffen

[ebo]

I suppose if I had the income to collect, I might. I had around 70 bottles of scotch and bourbon at one time, but, I've drank them down to around 15 or so.

I'm more of a "replacer" these days. I drink it, and then replace it. :grin:

Thanks to Max, I now have another spirit that I have to explore and replace as I go.

[T Comp]

Im sure that most of us are collectors, I know I certanly am!

JMO

I mean this to be in an informative and not argumentative manner but this is not true and there is simply no "most" of us. Some (:grin:) of the most () informative, long standing and valued contributors here have little to no bunkers.

As to the original poster...I'm just not gonna go there :skep:.

That is my thinking, but on more of an everyday level. While I have a single PVW 20 and VWFRR, & 2 JPS 18s, my real hoarding consists of WSR7s, WTR101s, and W12s. It would be nice to have a bourbon budget that would allow more bunkering of occasion bottles, but the reality is that long term, I place as much or more importance on having a supply of quality everyday pours. It is sad for bourbon lovers as the classics die off -ie. SW- , but every bit as sad as reasonably priced standards go away. How much longer can we expect the see whiskey such as AAA for $17.99? Under $20 solid pours with age statements seem to be a dying breed.

This doesnt include JD stuff, Scotch, Irish, or Canadian whiskey. It also doesnt include my Rum collection or the Tequlias or Vodkas.

[Young Blacksmith]

I have purchased quite a bit over the past few years, but mostly to clean out desirable to me dusties or things I've never tried or want to. I'm transitioning to the phase where I stock up on what I want to, no matter if it's collectable or not. I also pass up items others salivate over as I don't enjoy them.

I would not call myself a collector, as I'd love to get down to 5-8 opens with just a few bunkered items that are not produced any more (think 4R special editions, but one day they will be opened).

[redbear]

Old Grand Dad 86 2018 - open

How does that OGD from the future taste?

[Max Power]

I love seeing the lists of bourbons. Being fairly new to bourbon, it tells me some things out there that I need to check out. "Show us your stash" threads are always fun. Sure, it's showing off a bit, but I think we all like to look and drool a bit.

[Trey Manthey]

I'm a collector in a way, but not in the manner that you're describing. I know I'm a lousy collector. I already got burnt with baseball cards, comic books, and Beany Babies (kidding).

With regard to hoarding, it's not for me. I feel like if an apocalyptic whiskey craze is about to make it hard to find certain prized bottles then I don't want to be the guy slinking in and out of his bunker whispering "My Preciousssss..." There will always be pretty good juice available. For me that might be Weller 12, Macallan 12, and Baby Saz.

The draw in this hobby in my case is that there are tastes I want to experience, not that a certain bottle is in my possession. Every bottle I buy gets opened and drank. If a whiskey is hard to find, I'm only interested in tasting the contents, and if it's delicious, then I'll worry about trying to procure more. However, if an elusive bottle turns out to be rubbish, I have no more interest in "collecting" it than I do hoarding mucus samples. If I have to drive way out of my way or pay a ridiculous amount of money, I'm probably going to pass as well.

Take that last bit with a grain of salt, as I made an hour round trip drive and paid over $100 to buy an elusive 27yo bourbon just earlier this week.

[wadewood]

Okay, I admit it. I’m a collector. I don’t drink bourbon or rye

OK, since no one has said it, I will. I think you are a little weird. It's your choice, but most of us here have a passion about whiskey and enjoy drinking it. There are tons of current things you could collect; I would think it would be more enjoyable to collect something you love.

God I love this guy...aren't you the same one who single handedly shut down bourbon sales on Ebay? I have to agree though...it is a little weird IMO!:skep:

[onewman]

I know many people that would agree with you that I am weird and I won’t deny it. However I do have an appreciation for all spirits and I drink at least my fair share of them. I find that I move from one spirit the next even though it may take a year or so to make the switch. I’m currently on vodka and have gone through scotch and rums. I’m sure I’ll get to the bourbons and ryes down the road. I participate here because I enjoy reading about the other member’s experiences and opinions with bourbon and rye – vicarious thrills if you will. I enjoy reading about the history of the distilleries and the past, present and future offerings. I’ve read enough to make me believe that these are the glory days for bourbons and ryes and I’m late to the party. Age statements are disappearing, limited production bottles fly of the shelf, older releases are disappearing, and the prices are increasing. If I want to taste any of these older aged whiskies, then I need to get them while the getting is good - I have no desire to pay $150 for a PVW 15 year old (if I can find it) when I can buy one now for $65. Maybe I should have said I have a whiskey bank that I’m saving for a rainy day.

Nothing weird about that. I collect IUDs. Sure, they have no practical use for me, but I find them facinating. And if any guest needs to use one, my cabinet is always open.

You have some nice bottles in your collection. That said... Why do you collect the one's mentioned above? If you were a drinker of bourbon, then I could see having them in your collection. It seems odd that you would "collect" bourbons that are easily available at any liquor store. Now drinking them is entirely different, and I have many of the same in my DRINKING collection. Cheers... :grin:
