Looks more like an auxiliary supply depot!

I have never been much of a "bunkering" type. Rather than a lot of a few brands I have been trying for more of the ark approach, two of everything!

380 Roses (95 x 4)? I'm impressed.

Probably close to a third to half I have personally been involved in picking. All of the others with the exception of the Mariage/LE SmB/40th/100th are private barrel selections that if I didn't participate in, I personally know the people who selected them. FR's is hands down my favorite distillery going right now. After I took the picture, I reorganized them to bounce what was in the picture off my spreadsheet and I came up 3 bottles short...panic set in as 2 of the 3 that I was missing were OESO's from my favorite barrel...I found them upon tearing through a couple of my "PRIORITY" boxes! :D Edited by hectic1

The talk of your spreadsheet for FR's made me want to look at mine, as it has been awhile. Only 48 bottles, a mere pittance.

Bob, very impressive. Thought it was a picture of the 4R Gift Shop until I saw the ND sticker on the fridge:grin:

For me, "bunkered" means I have at least 5 bottles of it. That way I can enjoy it or trade away without worrying about running low. My single largest type is WLW. I have 20+ bottles total, but I don't have 5 bottles of any single year. Others include:

PVW20

PVW15

ORVW107

JRPS 17

JRPS 18

Weller Centennial (always searching for more).

Weller 12

ER17

Plus my MM collection, but that's not for drinking ;)

:lol:Yeah, you've got me figured out. Thanks to this board I stopped chasing my tail with all the bottlings available now-a-days. I concentrate on Wheaters for myself. I still grab other "collectibles" and good deals when I come across them...but they are really just fodder for trading for more wheaters.

:lol:

I'm the same way...heavy on the wheaters. Multiple VW's, Weller's and Old Fitz.
I'll have to come over for a closer inspection of that bourbon bunker b/c I'm not sure what "heavy on the wheaters" means. I'll report back! :D I would say that I probably have close to a 50/50 split on wheaters vs. ryed bourbons in my bunker.

Here's my seven-way tie as far as largest number of bottles of a brand (not all the same issue/year):

Old Weller Antique 107

Four Roses Single Barrel

Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage

Ezra B Single Barrel

Old Weller 12-Year

William Larue Weller

George T. Stagg (but one is almost gone)

I think by volume, for my ND-era Old Taylor and DSP-KY-16 Old Fitz BIB are in the lead for me. (Lots of hard dusty searching went into finding those.) Just in terms of single distillery, I'm heaviest on Stizel-Weller with Wild Turkey in a close second.

Ritt 23 yr and EWSB Vintage 2000. The Ritt 23 yr is always good to finish the evening. Not much of a bunker but I hope the EWSB Vintage 2000 last long enough for another good year to come around.

I liked my first bottle of FRSB so much, I ran back to Binny's to buy three more bottles from the same barrel: ME / 8-5R

Good stuff!

I did an inventory and updated my spreadsheet yesterday. I decided to break it down a little just to see just what was what. No big surprises. Mostly wheaters and BIBs. :grin:

Just under 50% of what I have are wheaters. The largest number of wheaters I have, are of course Wellers. I have 32 bottles of Weller, 13 of which are Weller 12's. Just under 25% of my bottles are BIB's. The most of those I have are 10 JW Dant's and 8 AA's.

I bunkered 15 bottles of Wild Turkey 101 Rye when it was announced it was going to be discontinued. I also keep a good stock of Rittenhouse Rye, Pikesville Rye, Old Ezra 101, Old Heaven Hill BIB, and Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye. I also have 2 bottles of Elijah Craig 18 floating around in the cabinet. I also have enough Michter's Sour Mash from Pennsylvania to float a battleship, but that's all in the "collection" and off-limits for consumption (Unless a leak develops...).

Joe, that's a sweet liquor cabinet. Looks like you're down to one EW BIB though...

Midleton Very Rare, Glen Rothes 1975 and any Van Winkles I find. Oh, and 12 ounce bottles of Chimay Blue, but only to let it bottle mature for a year.

PVW20 x 5, WTR101 x 4, EWSB2000 x 3 I don't mind making space for a few that I know are great and hard - or impossible - to get anymore.
