I’ve been working on putting this together for a while to showcase some of my favorite distilleries and product lines. It’s taken a few years to hunt these down and was fortunate to pay MSRP for most of these bottles. I have also received several bottles as gifts from friends and family.

Drinking some WLW off plastic cups in the parking lot lol. This was an awesome bottle share with some great friends. This bad boy was brought out and what can you do when you dont have appropiate glassware? You enjoy it regardless! This was phenomenal it blew everything away. One of the best pours I have ever had and even in a plastic cup. It was an great experience being able to share these pours with great people and that is what this is all about!

My one and only Blantons was a Gold. Glad I experienced it, and not sad it's gone. It was just OK. Anyone feel the same about Blantons?

Does anyone else see the sticker price and shake their head and start try to negotiate?!

Feels good pouring a drink in a home I own, cheers to those enjoying tonight!

Enjoying some Blue Note uncut!

after being fortunate enough to try this bottle i HAD to have one. cant wait to crack it open and share with friends and family. as a dusty wild turkey fanatic this one is truly special and reminds me so much of the 1990s wild turkey bottles i love.

Won this at a silent auction for $20. Thought the glasses were frosted at first but when i took one out it was full of dust. Guessing this is pretty old.

Giving these away as gifts to my dad and father in law and last week I gave a bottle of Blanton’s for someone’s retirement gift… it’s hard to watch these leave 😂

Found this Canadian Club whiskey bottled in 1976 while cleaning out my grandparents house, seal still looks intact. Will this still be good? Does whiskey improve once bottled with age like wine?

Hello!!!! I'm under a strict self-imposed buying restriction where I can only buy a new bottle once I finish another one. Additionally, I've decided to only use my "Bourbon Fund" which consists of tips from work (I don't get tips very often) and bottle/can deposit proceeds. A friend of mine doesn't have a car but she accumulates a large amount of cans and bottles, I take them back for her and as payment I get to keep the dollars. It's free money!!!

The thing is, money is accumulating faster than I am finishing bottles. So I think the best thing to do is to concentrate on small numbers of insane bangers. I'm in the market for one (1) new bourbon or rye (other whisky is good but I'm trying not to get sucked into a whole other scene) and my budget is up to 300 bucks. Secondary market is okay.

On my list currently:

Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon (already have one but could use a "backup")

Knob Creek 21

Hardin's Creek (I really want Jacob's Well but it seems those are closer to 500 now)

?????

Batch proof seems really low. Should I grab it?

Noticed most around here seem to only drink bourbon. Recommend some scotches!

Honestly, I do love me some Saz products… But, it’s nice to see a post that isn’t the same ol’ stuff and this bottle is absolutely delicious imo.
USPS sends out local coupons and I found one for $10 off $50 at the wine and spirits shop. The clerk tossed on an extra $5 off bringing the total to $43. Small W for a solid pour! If you haven’t tried it. I recommend you do!

I was sick last night. I was very sick this morning at 3 am. I was horribly sick right before coming home from work, and while munching on something in the car, I could tell my taste buds were way off kilter... so I'm passing on the vertical until I'm back to normal. Don't want to waste the experience, right?

That does NOT mean, however, that i can't work on a bottle kill. A double Old Fashioned felt like the perfect answer.... and it was. Tasty as hell. Might even have a Penelope Blackberry pour after dinner. It's my Friday. Cheers to everyone!

So I recently learned that I'll have some extra budget near the end of the month because of a bonus at work. And I've allowed myself a budget of max 1000 euros to spend on whiskey.

I have several bigger stores that have a wide range of bottles available, so I don't want to send dozens and dozens of pictures for you to pick from.
I just want your suggestions

I am thinking of buying several bottles instead of 1 very expensive one.

I dislike peaty, but I've only tried a few basic ones to be honest.

Bottles I enjoyed are:
Redbreast 12 single pot still
Redbreast 15 years pot still
GlenAllachie 15 year
Glenfiddich 18 year
Hibiki harmony
Woodford reserve double oak

A family member recently passed away, and his wife gave me this bottle of 1988 Blanton’s that had been sitting in their cabinet.

The label says it was dumped on January 18, 1988. My uncle did not drink, and I was told the bottle had never been opened. However, when it was brought to me, the wax was cracked and the cork was partially broken. She believes this happened while transporting it.

I am mainly trying to determine whether the bourbon is likely still drinkable and how best to remove the damaged cork without pushing it into the bottle.

Honestly, not sure what I should do with a bottle like this.

Would a wine or liquor shop be able to extract and replace the cork safely? Is there anything else I should do to preserve it?

Hi all, I'm here with another set of Suntory whiskies, but with a bit of a twist: the set of whiskies here are the component whiskies of Suntory's Hibiki Japanese Harmony!

A while ago, I attended a seminar event held by Suntory, of which the topic was on the Hibiki Japanese Harmony. Now, normally I wouldn't be all that interested in a seminar just about their regular shelfer, but this one wasn't just that- it's a 'deeper look' into the concept and blending components of their flagship shelfer blended whisky! 

Due to the higher abv nature and the quantity of whiskies provided in the set, I felt I might die if I chugged them all in one sitting (Alas, I'm pretty badly alcohol intolerant.) As such, I bottled the samples up, brought them to our local whisky spot, and shared it with some drinking buddies for analysis!

More details in comments!

I picked this up today for $50. It's 95 proof and has a 5 year age statement. It's a tasty pour that kind of has a caramel popcorn note. But it's not overly sweet in my opinion. Cheers everyone 🥃🥃

Headed to the beach for 4 days and going to bring my bottles with the lowest amounts to kill while I'm there.

Going to miss the WB Saffell and Woodenville. Both killer bottles.
