My Humble Beginnings

[Tracy Hightower]

A few short months ago I took an interest in Bourbon in particular and spirits in general. Before I came here, I owned a few miniatures I had collected over the years and a bottle of Pappy 23.

I know that my little collection cannot compare to some of you guys but I am proud of it regardless of the size. Give me a little time to catch up.

It is time to buy a new cabinet as I have filled the first one.

Thanks for all of your help and for this vast database of knowledge.

Nice work Tracy! I don't know if I would call all your top shelf stuff Humble :grin: but that is a great collecion and it looks awesome!

What's the gold foil bottle on the top next to the Four Roses? That's the only one I can not figure out!

Keep up the hunt! You look like you got the hang of it!

My question, exactly.

[smokinjoe]

Ambassador Scotch, maybe?

Thanks guys.

The top shelf consists of the Blantons that I bought recently, the Four Roses that was a Christmas gift, the Bulleit that I found signed by Tom Bulleit and thought was cool in the 1.75 liter bottle for $29.00 and finally as Smokinjoe guessed is a bottle of Ambassador Scotch.

The Ambassador I picked up for $37.00 and thought was unique because it is an 8 year old that was bottled two years before I was born in 1956.

What you cannot see behind the Crown display on the bottom is a 2005 WLW and Saz 18, a 2006 Handy and Eagle Rare and two additional 2007 Stagg and Eagle Rare. Those are for trading or drinking, which ever happens first.

I agree, a great collestion indeed !!!!

However, it seems all of them are unopened. Are my eyes deceiving me ?:bigeyes:

Very nice collection. And artfully displayed, to.

[Tracy Hightower]

Yes Birdman, you are correct in that none of them are opened.

I have never made it a secret that I am more of a collector than a consumer. With all of my years in law enforcement, I just never drank that much. I do however have a few bottles open that are not on display.

I admire your restraint !!!! (and your collection)
