Found several bottles I had forgotten about:} Started collecting long ago. Feel sorry for the newbies starting from scratch. Share and Enjoy! If you have so much bourbon that you forgot that you had several bottles of VW then . . . you have way too much bourbon. No. Wait. You can never have too much bourbon. Carry on my good man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is to get everything in one secure room, including the bar (not pictured)-- and in one piece. You live in a liquor store? All kidding aside, that is one impressive collection!

Clueby Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Spent a chunk of the day reorganizing, cleaning, and documenting the bunker. Not near what some of you have stashed away but I need to start drinking more! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLamb Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Not nearly as massive as @Clueby but here is my labor of about 2-2.5 years. Here’s to many more lol. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, if you check back through some previous posts I already hold the dubious title of "Weller Slut". Clueby can be the "Weller Skank" if he so desires.

Hopefully you guys will get to play yourselves in the straight to Netflix release movie. I'm thinking a high school rom com type situation where you three start out in fierce competition for the attention and affection of one Billy L. Weller. Eventually you join forces and conspire together to obtain a key to the Weller family distillery personal rickhouse.

Rockefeller Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi all - decided to slowly come back to the Bourbon community after a 3-4 year break (feel free to read about why I quit and why I'm coming back). Pulled the collection out of storage for a recent move and thought it would be a good opportunity to document what is left. It's about half of what I used to have at peak collecting since I gave away and drank the other half. Looking forward to rebuilding. Will probably open one or two bottles of the old collection each year to enjoy with family and friends. Going forward, will be avoiding the famous allocated bottles (and hype) unless it isn't marked-up to simply focus on what I think is delicious + presents good value. But it's still fun to look back at what was sourced years ago. Pulling boxes out of storage, luckily nothing was broken or destroyed JPS17, JPS18, 4RLESmB 2012, 4RLESmB 125th Anniversary, PHC Golden Anniversary, PHC Cognac Finished, PHC Blend of Mashbills Various bottles of BTAC (2007-2013 releases) including the 2003 GTS aka Haz1 If you want to know whether bourbon is a good "investment", it is not. I wrapped WLW with a newspaper I had for storage -- just look at what I could have bought Amazon stock at instead of the bottle Some Van Winkles. Of course, the rye is my favorite Assortment of Stitzel-Weller PVWs I don't usually keep empties but this was so hard to find back in the day and I've never seen one in the wild Miscellaneous: EWSB 2000, AH Hirsch 16, EH Taylor Tornado, Macallan 18-1985, Macallan 18-1978 Please don't hate me. I had numerous discussions (arguments) with my girlfriend at the time why paying $500-700 for an MSRP $350 bottle was justified and a good idea ... and why I should actually buy more than one. Nose on this is exquisite and a reminder of why I fell in love with bourbon to begin with 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
