What whiskey have you bunkered the most?

[KyFriedChicken]

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.

Very nice Wall Eye. Definitely some favorites in your bunker. EWSB2000 is a steal for the quality. I bunkered about 5 of those myself. Great stuff.

I have to update my list. Having acquired a couple bottles of OWA barrel selected by Brass Mug in Livonia, MI I now a clear bunker winner: OWA 107

[GaryT]

I think the only labels I have more than 1 of include:

Johnny Drum Private Stock (2)

EC12BP (2)

THH (2)

OF1849 (2)

Bourbon De Luxe (2)

In most of those cases, one of the two is half or better dead :grin:

[Yeti]

After my haul yesterday it's Weller 12.

[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.

I decided to do a rough count of my favorites so here goes (all are pre-govt warning - 1980s or earlier unless otherwise noted):

AAA 10 80 proof x12

AAA 10 86 proof x7

Beam's Black 101 months x6

beam's Choice 8 year x9

Benchmark-Lou x20

EC12 x5

EW 1783 10 - year (1990s) x16

EW Black 7 year x6

EB Black x26

Fighting Cock 8 year x10

IWH 80 prf x3

IWH 86 prf x8

JW Dant x10

Jim Beam 7 year special reserve x8

kentucky tavern (1970s) x4

OC 7 year x8

OC 10 year x13

Old Forrester (various) x26

OGD 114 ND x10

OGD bonded ND x16

OGD 86 ND x29

Old Setter x13

Old Taylor 86 proof ND x24

Rebel Yell 90 proof x9

WTKS (1990s) x4

WTRB (1990s) x4

WTRR 101 (1990s) x2

WT Old No 8 (1990s) x5

WT 8 year (1990s) x2

WT 80 pf black label x5

This does not include a bunch of singles that were too hard to write down.

How much was their barrel? I sent some people to get me a bottle and I want to know how much extra $$ they are taking.

[jeffrey r]

So I decided to count my Weller 12's last night. Thought I had 6 or 7. It's actually 12 (oops...). Have plenty of other stuff bunkered, but that is clearly tops for me (V17 wheater is probably next at 4 bottles).

[barturtle]

I'm pretty sure the current leader in my bunker is Saz 18, something like 18 of 'em, with Four Roses Barrel Proof LE's following at around a case, then we get into a dead heat of WTRR101/VWFRR/Weller Cent/OCPR/ORVW10-107 Lburg/WT12/Handy/ER17/WLW/...so on and so forth around 5-6 of each of those...

[c2walker]

One can never have too much WTRR 101.

[barturtle]

That is completely awesome! Do you have any of the pre-tanked stuff?

[humchan2k]

I have all of them. Every year starting with 2000.

My jealousy knows no bounds.

It's kind of funny how you can get caught up buying, but never really keep track of what you're buying (even though you keep a spread sheet), until a thread like this appears. So you check the sheet, and say to yourself "are you fkin kidding me, I've bought that much????..I don't bunker to sell or trade, I bunker to be able to enjoy 20 yrs from now, God willing. So here goes:

-various VW's x 38...long story, I just bought 35 bottles from one man who bought them to flip, found out its more hassle then worth,and I paid below MSRP...perfect. .:slappin:

-FRLE's x 22...I loves me some FR's, 'nough said

-HH BIB 6yr white x 20...the age statement is going away, so thanks to our most recent BOTY, its my most favorite summer frig pour

-Ritt BIB DSP 354 x 15, its going to DSP 1 soon, I really dig the 354

-FRSB standard TPS x18...last years bottling really hit my sweet spot, and at $28.50, a no brainer

-Various AB's x 16...Truman (RIP) did some fantastic stuff

And so many 8-12 bottles bunkered of one bottling

Drink, share, enjoy

35 bottles in a single haul!! Well if you ever want to share with a fellow buckeye, let me know!

Nothing I have is sacred, Thirsty. Its all about drinking, sharing, enjoying. You're welcome anytime, Piqua being my home base. Stop by for a pour!!

[HP12]

Pretty much a tie between OWA and a variety of Willett expressions.

[devillighter]

The most I have bunkered is ND OT 80 proof - a dozen 750s + some handles, which I picked up for $5 a piece. Most have torn or missing labels. For the price it is unbeatable.

I tend to bunker for breadth rather than depth, with a decent amount of bourbon, whisky, and rum. If I find a good price on something I stock up... I have a decent amount of Ritt BIB, FRSBLE, GTS, WTR101, Appleton 12, and Mount Gay Sugar Cane Brandy. Also a bunch of Compass Box Asyla I picked up cheap for cocktails.

[MauiSon]

Phil, do you mean the FR TPS Private Barrel distilled on April 8, 2004? That's the only FR1B I've had and I like it.

A flipper ate a loss on 35 bottles of Van Winkle? I think schadenfreude properly describes my feelings about this.

This news brought a smile to my face, too.

Phil, please tell me the guy is in Alabama.
