bigdhornfan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Is EHT BP easy for you to find or something? I’ve never come across even one....I’ve been lucky and have gotten 2 at retail. Used one in a trade and slowly drinking the other.Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You best believe I swiped it up in a hurry & felt like I hit the lottery that day. Especially because I paid $65 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfochs Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I know it doesn't compare to some of the other collections, but it is decent for what is available in my area 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried rye? Grab a bottle of Rittenhouse BiB or WT Rye 101 if it’s available around you. Occasionally a rye is all I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’ve posted many times about my drinking shelf, but don’t think I’ve ever shown an actual photo. Top left are open bottles with my “4R experience” shelf below. Top right are various BA cocktails. The Fonseca box is full of sample bottles I pour off to help make room and get through bottles faster without having to drink em all. Rest is storage. There is one more shelf above that I have not expanded to yet. But otherwise am pretty close to capacity. And I confess to having a few boxes stored offsite in a basement. That consists mostly of my stash of EC12 bottles, a few OldFitz BiB handles, and some older label W107 and WSR which I think will make really cool gifts down the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 @Bob_Loblaw what a shelf. How did you get all those boxes, any chances the contents are the same as the what the boxes show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodytek Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It doesn't really hold a candle to a lot of what I see here, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Or pour. Or something. Carry on. [emoji14] I think that McKena BIB deserves to go up a few shelves. Maybe swap it for the Crown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyce Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 No way I'd ever post a pic of my bunker. I keep telling GBS guys I only have Jim Beam White, Bartons, Ten High and Early Times stored up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I once again took some time today to rearrange and take an inventory of my stash. In the past two weeks, I've emptied a few bottles with my spur of the moment Old Bottle Weller Blend, and making more of my 2018 Weller Blend. I also had a bottle swap with a co-worker. On my advice, he bought a bottle of EC. I told him that I'd take it off his hands if he didn't like it. Well, he didn't like it. I took it off his hands, and gave him most of a 750 of Larceny, and a 375 ml of KC. After that, here's my stash. I feel that I have a pretty decent stash, but it's probably not as much as what a lot of you think I have. Total bottles-96 Open bottles- 19 12 from BT and 7 "others" Bunkered bottles-77 55 from BT and 22 "others" I also have 1 BHC 50 ml set, and 2 Old Forester Prohibition sets The pics below are from a couple of weeks ago. They are of all my BT stuff except a bottle EHT Warehouse C Tornado Surviving Bourbon that I forgot to grab. Biba! Joe 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get all those boxes, any chances the contents are the same as the what the boxes show? Thank you! I am lucky to have a great LS who is understanding of my little obsession. It took quite a long time to assemble and I was more than a little disappointed to find out all of the Van Winkle Boxes are the same generic box unlike the BTAC Nerd that I am, I call it the Iceberg because you can only see what has been pushed above the surface. However, there is always a chance . . . I will say that I never took a box of something that I did not also get the corresponding bottle. But I also ain't getting full cases of any of those so much of the space is filled with other bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
