What whiskey have you bunkered the most?

[Enoch]

I don't bunker much modern stuff except maybe a half-dozen bottles of Pappy 15 & 20. I pick up any WT stuff from the 90s when I find it. But I do pick up most of the 80s and 70s stuff I find because I know I may not find it again.

[Smokewagon]

I don't think I really bunker, I open and drink/share what I buy, when I get to it. I currently only have one "duplicate" bottle. It's a 2012 BTAC WLW. I've got a few unopened bottles, but they aren't duplciates and will be opened soon-ish I just haven't gotten to them yet. I usually only buy multiple bottles at a time on limited release stuff (BTAC) or if it is somethign i buy regularly and is on sale or hard for me to find like Weller 12.

Not sure if this would be considered a bunker or not but here is a list of what I currently have waiting to be opened:

JPS 18 L&K Single Barrel Selection

Elmer T Lee L&K Single Barrel Selection.

Four Roses Barrel Strength OESO L&K single barrel selection.

Bernheim L&K Single Barrel Selection.

Four Roses Small batch gift set with the bottle signed by Jim Rutledge

Weller 107

Larceny 1.75 (still working on the 750)

2012 BTAC WLW

i'm mildly envious of your guys' bunkers. it's just too bad my wallet won't allow me to bunker as much as i'd like to.

I think this is really what got me putting things away this past year. We're buying a new house, thinking about having a kid. I'm never going to have fewer financial responsibilities than I do today, so why not pickup the best stuff I can and know that I can always pull out a special or old (or old and special) bottle whenever I want?

Of course, a house and some kids probably won't keep me out of the whiskey aisle. Might even send me there more often

I can attest to this.

[squire]

I can empathize with this.

[sailor22]

Not counting Willett SB's -- OGD by National and JW Dant DSP 113 and DSP 2/16 are the most numerous in my bunker.

[matthewdc]

S-W Old Fitz Prime, OF BiB (DSP-414), WT8/101, and WT86.8

[Kalessin]

Four Roses, as I discovered I had a liking for Mariage 2009 and FRSmBLE 2012...

[stevegoz]

Pappy 15. Don't think I have more than three bottles of anything else.

[ThirstyinOhio]

The only bottles that I have more than 2 are GTS, and Makers Mark, and the only reason for the Makers Mark is that I have a couple "souvenir" bottles from when my wife and I visited the distillery and dipped them ourselves. I am in awe of you guys with 6+ multiples, especially the Pappy 15, BTAC, and PH.

[JB64]

Not sure how many bottles you need to have set aside to be considered bunkered but I have a few WTR 101's, a couple of OWA with the age statement in the bottle with the parchment label, a couple of WSR's with age statements, a couple of WT101's with the old label, a couple of JDB in the old bottle and labels, and just recently added a couple of OGD86's. I know it pales in comparison to the other collections that have been described but I don't have the willpower to keep from opening the high end bottles that I buy.

[Yeti]

I'm surprised as I look back at my list that my most bunkered brand is Four Roses with 7 bottles (2x Gift Shop 17 year, 1x Gift Shop 13 year, 3x SmB LE 2012, and 1x 120th Anniversary).

Most bunkered distillery has to be Buffalo Trace with 17 bottles (4x Sazerac, 2x THH, 2x GTS, 2x WLW, 2x BT, 2x Weller 12, 1x OWA, 1x CEHT SmB, 1x ETL)

[miller542]

Surprised no one else has mentioned this one yet: Evan Williams Single Barrel.

Ok, technically, I only have one from each year, but its 9 bottles total 1994-2002.

I've had bottles of EWSB prior to the 1994, back when it was packaged with a nice rocks glass, but that was before I started to bunker, man I wish I still had some older year's bottlings and not just the rocks glass!

[squire]

I try not to be too fastidious about it, I can only drink one bottle at a time.

[soad]

Have five WTR 101, and seven 750's and three 1.75 of OWA (based on last year's "scare").

Given my O.C.D., I HAVE to have at least 2 of every bottle I like....that way I never open the "last" bottle of something.

I'm not big into the whole "bunkering" thing. However, I do have one bottle stashed away of Knob Creek Single Barrel. It has some sentimental value as I helped choose the barrel. Also, I have two bottles each of Weller 12 and 2003 Evan Williams Single Barrel (both bottles from barrel #21). That's the extent of my "bunker".

Don't feel bad. At the moment my "bunker" consists of a bottle of Willett Rye. I think I have about 20 open bottles, if you count only rye and bourbon.

[ebo]

At the moment.... nothing. I've drank what I had down, and I only have a bottle or two on hand these days. I can't justify tying up that much money anymore. If I get a hankering for something, I just go get a bottle, drink it, then get another as the need arises.

[OscarV]

I would have to say (in answer to the thread's question) W. L. Weller Centennial, I think I have a couple of dozen of them.

It's funny I have all the years from 1986 - 1995 including 4x - 1986 and 2x - 1987 and 1x the rest. I didn't really save them on purpose but ran across them over the last year. I haven't actually tried these older ones but decided to save them for gatherings in the future. Since 1996 on, I have gotten each year and drank them but not bunkered any.

[Barclay Beach]

I have the most bottles of what I like best: GTS.

[petrel800]

While I have a good stock of BTAC, CEHT Tornado is the one bottle I have the most of. Since that one isn't coming back around again and my wife loves it as well, I bought a case of it.
