Favorite Whiskey?

For me it depends on several factors.

Any other plans that morning? No? I'm down to wait in line. What bottles? Something I haven't tried or something I really want? Yep, let's go. Guaranteed a bottle or is it a slim chance? Slim chance I'm probably out on that deal unless I don't mind hanging out with fellow nerds just for the hell of it.

I waited 2.5 hours for Old Forester barrel strength, and that's the longest I've waited in line for a bottle. I knew that my spot in line guaranteed me a bottle though. I probably wouldn't wait in line much more unless I was guaranteed something special.

 

Ain’t got shit to do.
Store opens at 9AM. Plenty of bottles, hundreds. First come first serve, 5 bottle max for the first 20(?) people in line. (2) bottle max for everyone after that.
Likely plenty of bottles I really want. Like badly.
I’ve never actually waiting in line for a bottle. But my dad has for me, waited in line for 5 hours for EH Taylor Barrel Proof

 

Sounds like you've got a date with bourbon destiny then.

I'd probably wait 5 hours for EHTBP. Beats paying 4x-5x retail on secondary. Your pops is a champ!

 

If they've got the good stuff, I'd wait a pretty good while...like all day. I ain't got shit else to do, might as well improve my drinking experience.

 

I would’ve waited that long for it too. I felt super bad for it but he knew I’d do it so he didn’t mind too much. He may have gotten a nice bottle of wine in return

Pretty sure I’ll be there the night before, after work. Dog will be at the trainer and I’ll be responsibility free

 

I would wait quite awhile for EHTBP and a few others that I really want

 

first 20 get 5?

I’d make sure I was in first 10

 

Little Friday night sipper!

 

Who doesn’t like a little dry fly action?

 

How’d it go?

 

Finally opened the Garryana. Also, had a buddy try a few others

 

Later this month

 

Did a whiskey secret Santa, received my gifts today. Pretty stoked on it

 

I just realized I have an ex that I’m still good friends with somehow that lives right beside Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace distilleries.

I’m so excited that she is cool with hunting for me.

 

Xmas present from the wife. This stuff actually smells really good!!!

 

Slowly killing a bunch of these opened bottles.

 

Opened up a birthday gift to enjoy while I wait for the power to go out

 

Killed a bottle of this and basil Hayden. Pretty much decided if it ain’t bt juice I don’t like it. The Hayden is pure Jim beam which I’m not a fan of. The woodford is decent but not my style. Back to the bt, blantons, weller, and pappy i go!

 

Little saz Manhattan

 

I think I’m a little too green in my bourbon journey to fully appreciate this, but I couldn’t pass at the chance to grab one.


And a little Buffalo Trace by the tree last night.
