Tell me about your favorite whiskey or bourbon

You have to open the bottle for the genie to come out.
Which one????

I definitely have an Antique 107 and a SR open right now.
 
I keep checking my mailbox and wondering if my invite to taste that line-up got lost in the mail.
Well tbf brother I only got the final key tonight so…. Keep checking!
 
Got the Total Wine Grand Reserve email today ... I have pretty much everything that they're offering Grand Reserve members to buy, so not sure it's worth standing in line and wasting a chunk of my Saturday morning to get a backup bottle. Half tempted to go if I can get a Blanton's Straight From the Barrel or Gold, or Elmer T Lee.... Sadly the ones I'd most want have pretty low quantities, so unless I want to get there before 4 a.m. they might be gone. Plus prices are a bit inflated.

174 bottles - Blanton's Bourbon $95.99
102 bottles - Blanton's Barrel Select Bourbon $95.99
102 bottles - WL Weller Full Proof Barrel Select Bourbon $80.99
84 bottles - Blanton's Gold Bourbon $174.99
19 bottles - Elmer T. Lee Bourbon $69.99
19 bottles - WL Weller Bourbon 12 Year $47.99
14 bottles - Blanton's Straight From the Barrel Bourbon $214.99
3 bottles - Michter's Single Barrel 10 Year Bourbon $244.99

Been waiting for the right moment to crack this one open. Been sitting here in the cabinet for 6 years.
 
2nd & 3rd backup bottles are always good to have. 🥃🥃

Two is one & one is none !!
I am too far down the road on my whiskey journey for a change in strategy to make sense for me. I know a few people who have a narrow set of distilleries and specific bottles in their collections, favoring quality over quantity. They like what they like and keep a good inventory of those bottles on hand. Ain't no shame in that game.

I've taken more of the explorer approach, favoring variety which has led me to getting everything from many of the "must haves" as well as bottles that are off the beaten path. The problem for me about having back-ups is I will likely never get to drinking them and they end up on my gift shelf. Sounds a bit ridiculous to say that, but to put it into context, if I drink 2 oz of whiskey a night it would take me (alone) over 24 years to consume the bottles I currently have. That presumes I never take a night off or do not add any additional bottles to the collection. I'll admit I have a stupid amount of whiskey in the house, but its a fun (albeit expensive) hobby that my wife and friends also enjoy.

With the Grand Reserve sale, I'm really trying to figure out if its worth it to stand in line to get a nice bottle (limit 1 per member) for a future gift that is more difficult to find or are even more expensive on the secondary market.

I hear you. My wife & I are in the same boat. I too also have way more than I will ever drink in my life time. But, if it’s something really good we like or something that’s a bite hard to come by, I try and have 3 bottles. (Except for Tremor Single Barrel) I only have two. 🤣🤣😩
 
Sounds like you're celebrating something if you waited for the right moment to crack that bottle. If so, congrats!
Still haven’t found that moment quite yet. When it presents itself, we’ll know 😉
 
Oh boy I have quite a few I really enjoy. I have more ryes than bourbon. I don't know if I can pick. Stagg, some OF single barrel's are so tasty, bardstown disco #11..

Last month when I was in KY would have been good. 🤣🤣😩

I’ve used this as a guide for a number of years now. Mine may be outdated as it’s definitely been around a while.

Well just finished up a super fun/ intense day.

My wife and I volunteered for a “Trek for Trout” sponsored by Trout Unlimited, Native Fish Coalition and our States Department of Environmental Conservation.

Basically they needed signs hung at about 400 ponds dispersed throughout the Adirondack Park.

They were Offroad and or Hike in ponds that needed signage to promote conservation and lay out some rules for the fishery. Left home at about 0630 and got home nearly 12 hours later.

It was a lot of fun and access wasn’t too bad really. The driving rain and clouds of bugs definitely added to the experience.

Figured I’d tip a glass tonight showing the fish we hoped to protect.
 
Decided to pass on the TW Grand Reserve event and popped into a different location to pick up an order. Manager offered me the Caribou Crossing since I didn't have a bottle at home of it and also decided to come home with the Lasso Motel 18 year. Also, completed the lineup from Hardin's Creek (well, at least the ones from the series I want) with adding the 184 month Jacob's Well to go with the 211, Frankfort, Clermont, Boston, and Golden Origins.

Also stopped by The Whiskey Blendery and picked up a few bottles there. The members there are all really nice and super generous. One of the guys there shared some Bomberger's PFC and Jack 14, while another shared a Staff Jr. Single Barrel pick and cracked a bottle of George T Stagg from 2011. These were all awesome pours. The 2011 Stagg was 142 proof and drank like it was 115. A truly incredible pour and one of the best I've ever had.
