Oh man, oh man,.... I was afraid you would say that.

Now I will have to do a search for a Japanese seller and pay a ton of bucks for one.

That bottle is the US Tribute, the Japanese one is in the same bottle as KY Spirit , bottled at 110 proof opposed to the 101 proof with the US bottle.

Okay, I'm new to this bunker concept, so I only just started mine. Right now it consists of 2 bottles:

AH Hirsch 16YO

Pappy Van Winkle 20 YO

Not a bad start. More to come as poker winnings permit.

I plead tempoary insanity,

I doubt if my bunker will ever be very large, but I will probably include items that I can't get easily. At the moment I've got

Jacob's Well

Eagle Rare 101

OFBB 2006

There's been a pretty good supply of EWSB 95 around here, but if it starts getting scarce I might stash a bottle or two.

Four Roses Yellow Label

Bunker!? BUNKER!? (Think Jim Mora)

I drink my bunker....don't have enough cash to stock a bunker AND enjoy bourbon. My bunker is 3 bottles of WT RR 101 which I will open for special occasions, hopefully every couple years or so. I envy many of you.

Oh, I have every intention of drinking every bit of my bunker. For instance, my current bottle of Lot B was a bunker bottle, now it's an open bottle. My bunker is in constant rotation.....one bottle in, one bottle out....maybe two out.

Whiskey is unique in that it can be bunkered, as opposed to beer, the other alcoholic beverage I care about. Beer that isn't fresh quickly becomes terrible. Whiskey keeps - which makes it fun to have 15 or so open bottles, and nipping from them all! :)

I don't really bunker much... at least compared to some of the folks here. I purchase mostly to consume. Having said that, I've got a couple of bottles of S-W ORVW, Hirsch 16, PVW 20, and the odd GTS or two set aside.

According to these posts, not enough.

:slappin: :slappin:

I hear you. Though I have this sinking feeling that I'll be posting a decent sized list hear pretty quick.:skep:

Bringing this back since now I can post in it:

BTAC '06:

GTS x2

Saz

Handy

ER17

(looking for the Larue Weller)

Four Roses:

Small Batch

Single Barrel - in Texas

Small Batch Collection:

Knob x2 (1 open @ 19.99 this is an everyday pour)

Van Winkle:

Lot B x2 (1 open)

I think a 10yr 107-but it's in Texas

15yr-only bottle I've ever seen of this, scored it today (8-13)

Old Pogue

ER10 (open)

Noah's Mill (open)

1792 (open)

Mitchner's Rye (open)

And from my memory recall that's all I can visualize in the box/cupboard/top of fridge. Thankfully I brew and am generally having a pint off my kegerator vs. a snog of bourbon so this stuff tends to stick around. I do have 1 more bottle in TX my sister got for me on a trip to KY but for the life of me I can't recall what it is.

Very nice, Phischy. Bunkers in multiple states is very impressive! The next step, when you know you've made it, is to be like Cliff, and establish an off-shore bunker!!:)

Biggest problem with bunkers in multiple states is the fact that you always want the bottles that are where you aren't....:smiley_acbt:

My sister is a fan so if I hear of something in Houston I can always send her out. I'll be bringing those bottles back at christmas time for sure. Thankfully no one other than my mom really likes bourbon but she's a wine gal. My dad hasn't touched the hard stuff since college, likes my beer and is a wood smith in his spare time. He enjoyed the process when we visited BT, esp barrel production. Good thing, as I dragged them 2hrs in the wrong direction on a recent road trip.

The plus side to an out-of-state bunker is you won't be dipping into it!

Nice start. I too started off with a respectable yet small bunker. It's now grown to a state that I have a hard time finding places to store the bottles. Keep collecting....it's great having a broad selection of bourbons; especially over varying decades.

Considering I only recently latched on to the concept of "the bunker", mine is modest currently, but Im slowly working on it.

Pappy 20

AH Hirsch 16 x 2 (foil)

Berheim

WT 101 (it was a rescue)

Baker's

Eagle Rare 10 (1.75L)

El Tesoro Anejo (still a soft spot for Tequila)

Open bottles include:

AH Hirsh 16

WT Kentucky Spirit

Bernheim

Buffalo Trace

Thos. Handy Rye

I suspect the WT 101 will soon be joining the ranks of the open bottles.
