nor02lei Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well, I had some time over the long Thanksgiving weekend to take an inventory of my stash, and update my spread sheet. Since I had the time, I also decided to do some cleaning, rearranging, and take some new pics. Here's my stash for now.#1. Glasses, shot glasses, and flasks #2. Decanters. The only one that still has bourbon is the JB Bowling Pin #3. Van Winkles #4. BTAC #5. A flock of Turkeys #6. My Wellers #7. A flight of Eagles #8. Four Roses #9. Old Forester and Old Fitz #10. Miscellaneous 1 #11. Ryes #12. Miscellaneous 2 #13. Maker's Mark #14. Some dusties #15. Miscellaneous 3 #16. Canadians #17. My cabinet. This was before I added some recently acquired bottles and rearranged everything. This is my stash with the exception of about a half a dozen oddball bottles that I have tucked away in my basement. I dunno, I think I may have to make some room for some more Weller, and ERSB. Joe Interesting to see that you have both the versions of WT 8 export Joe. What do you think about them and witch one do you prefer? Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Good show Joe, I especially like those 4 WTRR101. Happy to see they are still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
independant Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Very nice Joe. I don't know why I was thinking that you didn't have any WT. Glad to see you do. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nor02lei Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Actually they are identical one liter bottles. Must have been the angle/lighting when I took the pic. I really like the WT 8 export. Lot's of flavors going on. Very nice balance of smoke, spices and sweetness. :yum: JoeSorry my mistake Joe. I did mistake the US 101 bottle for the current WT 8 we got here. I did miss that it didn’t have any 8 years statement.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westernboys Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Joe,How long have you been building your stash?? That is one sweet collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hectic1 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 You should also be able to find somewhere locally that sells Glencairn glasses -- ask your Chicago peeps to point you in the right direction. I would imagine Binny's would have 'em but I don't know -- I picked up 2 at Julio's last weekend for $5 apiece. I like the Glencairns for "tasting" -- especially in small amounts and snifters for big pours -- rocks glasses for big flavor profile or less expensive bourbons (OGD114, WT101, etc.).I picked up a couple of these from Em today...should have them towards the end of the week...just in time for the weekend.

IronHead Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I picked up 4 from him and should have them toward the end of the week. They are also all over eBay. I checked with one seller about glass Glencairns but he did not have any, just the lead free crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 This is some of my mini collection. Most are from the 50-70s. The good thing about minis. Most are metal caps and no risk of cork taint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westernboys Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Very nice collection of minis. Ever felt like tasting some or don't want to ruin the collection?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are metal caps and no risk of cork taint.How's Old Joe taste? My grandfather used to work at Old Joe Distillery (now Four Roses). I picked up a couple unopened OJ minis on eBay, but not planning on opening them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Old Joe is quite good if you happen upon any. Unfiltered and oil with a nice bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1bomber Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Those Blantons represent one of the great injustices of the world... export-only versions that are available in Europe and also Japan, I think. I landed a Gold version a while back, but haven't yet acquired the Silver, Special Reserve, or Straight-From-Barrel varieties. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchie66 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Rx was available until 8 years ago.I have bought another one, unopened, 2 weeks ago. Blanton's do have several varieties that are only available in europe but guys, my list of bottles wanted (and not available overhere) is a bit longer than your list of wanted Blanton's. I'm working on it. Where there is a will there is a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm not sure but I think Blantons has (had) 10 different label variations. I've had the silver, gold and SFTB and in my opinion, better than original. I know it's the same product but the higher proof makes it a better pour. Here's the list of various proofs that have been released over the years:Blanton’s originalBlack 90 proofSilver 98 proofCask varies in proofGold 103 proof Burgundy 1998 93 proofPrivate stock bottle 182 barrel 126, 93 proofSingle barrel 93 proofGreen 80 proofSuper gold 103 proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
