How big is your stash?

You really should have a chat with Harry.

yea, his stash will grow when he figures out there's room in the broom closet, under the bed, behind the refrigerator, in the refrigerator, in the oven, around the TV, and that's just the normal places.  Creative among us fill the trunk of car and all sorts of convenient easy to reach spots

This many.  

 

I’m actually at capacity and have another WSR in the closet next to the cabinet. Pretty much every bottle is open except for a few in the back and everything in the bottom along with a couple douplicates on top (vob100 ) I’ve been trying to eliminate “clunkers” and only buy what I like (for the most part) and replace with same bourbon but I will on occasion get something new.

My bunker once had over 150 unopened bottles. It currently stands at around 50, having sold or gifted about 100 bottles a few years ago. I cringe (ok, cry) when I think about some of the bottles I let go of. Long story short...bad advice from a doctor. I've now found a new doctor. I'm drinking less lately so I only keep three or four open bottles at a time, typically a few bourbons and one really good Irish. Most of the bottles I'm keeping are GBS barrel selections, various FR LESmB, and BTAC.

As someone who ended up with a couple of those bottles of Irish, that makes me sad.  We will definitely open one or two and share together at the next GBS St. Patrick's Day gathering!

Glad you found a new doctor (and more importantly, that you're comfortable and feeling well whether drinking a little or a lot!)  I'm at close to 200 bottles in total, with roughly 25% of those being unopened.  Most of those are GBS picks as well, although I have some first release ECBPs, current ET BIBs (in case Saz screws the pooch on those), Bakers, and a few CB Flaming Hearts.  With a LOT of open bottles, I'm trying to employ the same strategy in spirit and place a few bottles "out" so that when I'm in the mood for a pour - I try to reach for those.  It brings some order to the chaos, although doesn't prevent me from reaching into the cabinet when the mood strikes.  Right now on the "out" table I've got a Bakers, Old Fo Rye, Loch Lomond 12r, and WTRB.  Had a Knappogue Castle 12yr pick out until that strategy worked and the bottle is no more

I'm down to only a few bottles of Jim Beam White...

Seriously though, I did finally finish getting my spreadsheet up to date earlier this year (trying to remain busy in retirement I suppose!) so I could crunch some numbers! We talking bourbon? American whiskey? Whiskey in general? Distilled spirits in general? Everything but the kitchen sink?

 

Should I count bottles I have paid for but are still en route? Seems like there are always a few bottles en route lately!

 

I log them all as it helps me remember what's still en route

Frank, whenever you come to Georgia we end up have snow and shit.  You can come as along as you leave the Yankee weather up north.
