Gorzo Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It is a Japanese export bottled by KBD in the early 2000's. Some of the bottles I have are for collectible purposes like that , the older Van Winkles and a few other. I like collecting stuff for whatever reason. All the recent stuff Like the limited additions, PVW 15 or W13 I already have a bottle open or will open in the future. My post was more to show my pride of being able to use my closet as my Whiskey vault. Figured each shelf has been rated to hold about 500lbs of the ex's clothes so a few bottles will should be safe.

Bourbon Fanatic Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 My humble beginnings! Below is a picture of all of my open and bunkered bourbons (at home) - I still have a couple small bunkers at relatives and friends houses and I didn't include any of my scotches. (Please excuse the messy table in the background - this is what the fiancée would have wanted me to say) Currently, a total of (31) bottles, opened and closed. I had to take this picture while my better half was at work, otherwise she'd realize just how much I actually have. This is why I have multiple small bunkers around the house - it's harder to tell how much you have collectively . Cheers! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is not to leave any bourbon you wouldn't want to be drunk without you in those satellite bunkers. Lost a half bottle of Blanton's learning that the hard way Cheers!

They are all wine and craft beer drinkers. Should see there faces when I put ice in their good wines.... I may have been adopted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to never offer them Pappy or BTAC, unless you want to see it mixed with Coke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I took the time this past weekend to do a complete inventory of my "stash". With finishing bottles, decanting, vatting, samples and bottles I had that were destined for others, I wasn't exactly sure what I had. I even went so far as to go and get the bottles that I had in storage elsewhere. It turns out that I was only a couple of bottles off. It all evened out because I was plus one and minus one. Counting opened and bunkered bottles, I'm now finally down to under 100 bottles! I have 99 open and bunkered bottles. My plan is to curtail my buying, and keep on drinking and sharing what I have. Pic#1. Pappy and BTAC Pic#2. Some nice odds and ends. Pic#3. BIB's Pic#4. Other odds and ends. Pic#5. Buffalo Trace. Pic#6. Weller SR Pic#7. OWA Pic#8. Weller 12. I do have a few other things that aren't pictured that I keep on hand just 'cause. Other than that, this is my stash. Sláinte! Joe 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hot Damn Joe! That's a mighty fine collection you have there. I need to come up & visit you sooner than later! Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 ^^^^That's a hell of a stash Joe! Now come on and load up on some good Beam and 4R while the getting is still good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Joe, I really like all those older versions of WSR, OWA and W12. I know you are very proud of those. All those bottles of WLW and Pappy are also certainly enough to give anyone a sense of bourbon zen...especially the resident Weller whore! Cheers!

HoustonNit Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Wow Joe just wow. Also a man that knows what he likes BIBs and obviously wheaters. Somewhat suprised by some of these bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Government Beard Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 One stash area. Some was purchased. Others were free from the connections we have in the alcohol industry. Some trades. huzzah 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
