At $30, that Slane Irish Whiskey is fantastic!Nice, getting a head's start on St. Paddy's day
I currently have 32 open bottles... I have no restraint
I probably have 45 or so open bottles. That's my max...only because I am out of shelf space.Serious Friday question. How many open bottles are you comfortable with? I own 6 (most I've ever had as I'm a recent bourbon taster). 4 of my 6 are open. Can't lie, until this new little expedition I never opened the next bottle until the last one was finished. Of course I was a single bourbon kind of guy. Always had a standard Makers Mark until I discovered 4 Roses SB. Drank through 6-8 4RSB (found a supply at $42/btl) in 2020 covid until this thread peaked curiosity.
Just asking (and avoiding starting the next work task).
I was going to say, I don't have any unopened bottles. I only have opened ones. Not sure how many.I probably have 45 or so open bottles. That's my max...only because I am out of shelf space.
I have about 125 open bottles. Everything I buy gets cracked and neck chugged as soon as I get home. Sometimes sooner!Serious Friday question. How many open bottles are you comfortable with?

I don't understand this term....unopened bottles
I've never viewed it as a competition. I could never win at either.Wow, I feel like such an amateur!
Kind of like my chipping .

And here I thought there could be only one......I've never viewed it as a competition. I could never win at either.

Oh yeah, backups...about 30-40 unopened. Because why have 2 opened expressions, unless they're true single barrels...40ish opened and about a dozen unopened - and the only reason why those are unopened is because they're back-ups of open bottles. My philosophy on booze is the same as chips - they're meant to be used, not just sit on the shelf!
Yep I have couple ECBP releases both open at once. I like doing matchups!Because why have 2 opened expressions, unless they're true single barrels...
This is the part I am going to struggle with. I like to compare as wellYep I have couple ECBP releases both open at once. I like doing matchups!
Purely by memory, here are my open bottles:
I have 5 different ECBPs open...Yep I have couple ECBP releases both open at once. I like doing matchups!
Well, it took a while, and I did it by visualizing my cupboards. Then putting them in alphabetical order. I'm pretty sure I'm still missing a few, but I can only confirm the 8-10 that are here in Brooklyn. The others are at the strategic whisk(e)y and chip reserve upstate.You're a better man than I, no way I could remember all that. I've resorted to creating a little google sheet with my list (including what I'm looking for), so I always have it on hand in case I drop by a liquor store.
I think @kmccormick100 has some.Has anyone here tried Four Roses limited edition small batch? My local store has a few bottles, but at $150 retail it seems a little steep.
I’ll pay you a $50 finders fee per bottle if you grab me some. I’ve been paying ~ $300 retail and to me it’s worth every penny haha.Has anyone here tried Four Roses limited edition small batch? My local store has a few bottles, but at $150 retail it seems a little steep.

Thanks Paolo. I think I’ll give it a try.That's super rare to find, David. I have had a few releases that I loved. Haven't tried the 2020 or 2019 yet.
