The PVW is all due to my cousin losing 25k -50k everytime he goes to Vegas . He tends to get the hook up. I told him to ask for some PVW for the bar and his room . Brought home the stuff in his room. Luckily he is a beer drinker. 15yr ORVW was a payoff/trade for something else that has nothing to do with bourbon. Everything else is store bought, gift shops or lotteries. Ha. That's awesome. Your cousin went to Vegas and you won! I'd be bringing him beer every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I store two dozens of empty bottles in my closet. Nice variety, might not be the biggest stash but no clunkers there either, I could get by with those no problem.

The PVW bottles are very thin, crappy glass, compared to some of the others. Did the WLW survive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorzo Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Every bottle hit the floor and only the Van Winkle stuff bit the dust. The Larue and everything else survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I've got a buddy that a few of the board member know who keeps his bunker in an old IKEA Billy shelf with Billy doors. I see thousands of dollars of whiskey on a $60 shelf and think of the pictures you sent Gorzo. That's some shit luck man. I'm really sorry that happened to you. After the first time I saw Bruce's set up in his basement I immediately switch out my Billy bookcases for commercial grade metal shelving.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardwood flooring soaked up the bourbon so the house smells like Buffalo Trace tour..... always looking at the glass 1/2 full! Does make an interesting case that if you do want to display stuff may want to obtain or save some empty bottles and fill them with tea. The real stuff (if or when I get it back) will be in fail proof storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably still get crushed or something with my luck. The best laid plans and all that. Sorry to see it, Gorzo. Everyone take a pour out of their best tonight. A bourbon drank is an experience that can never be taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I just shed a tear at that. Cut that floor out and soak it in a barrel..similar to what they do to extract Devil's Cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
