You need high end stuff but you need to weight the collection appropriately. So for every 1 Pappy you have 100 Turkèys. That is why it's special. Is an expensive bottle better? Absolutely. Without a doubt. It's just not a value bottle. Is a $150 bottle better than a $50? Yes! Is it 3 x better? No! So the collection should be 3 to 1. As of now, my collection is sitting at 93 total bottles. Bourbons, Whiskeys, rums, Tequilas, Gins and Vodkas. My average price per bottle is around $95-$110 but my favourites are the lower end of $60 or less. My sipping bottles are all lower end but they're also my faves. I am keeping my fancier stuff for fun events, milestones etc. The Cavehill Rabbit for my friends birthday, my only Thomas Moore/E. Lake or McKenzie and one bottle of Pappys for like ym kdis graduations or weddings etc. But in between I have my 4 roses, buffalo trace etc because they're so tasty and guilt free sipping.

Bourbons are for sipping neat. That's how I like it. My issue with Scotches and essentially irish whiskey's are that I drank so much low grade J&B when I was younger (you remember, drinking to get drunk as fast as possible) that almost all scotch tastes exactly the same now. I literally burned my taste buds off on crappy scotch as a teen and just can't find the enjoyment anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told I am not allowed to spread it out and show it off.....So it sits in wine boxes now. Scary thing is, I keep collecting I'll buy 2-3 bottles a week of new stuff and one to sip on. I usually make a bottle last 2 weeks or so; 2 fingers a night only, but it's definitely out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my quick drinkers and slower ones. As far as bourbons go I have Bulliet 10 year, Four Roses, and Russell's 10 year.

I have tried Bulleit's 10 year but found it to be a bit sharp. Could just be the bottle I was sipping out of at the pub though, so I do have an unopened one here to try. Dollar for dollar, the Jim Beam's Black is actually one of the best sippers I have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dirty secret with Turkey 101. I find bourbon a bit boring. It's good and is drinkable year round but is very one dimensional. For whatever reason I like Bulliet. It is rough maybe because of the rye but I do enjoy the 10 year. I like the Bulliet bottle it is so frontier haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
