I dno he might be able to drink this all if he really wanted to. Just making some assumptions, I'd guess he's about 45 and looks to be in decent health. The majority of those bottles are 750 ml. Just a rough estimate, say on average they are about 75% full. That's 563 ml in a bottle, which would comes out to about 2.5 ounces a day, which is a little over two and half fingers. He could drink those bottles of bourbon and whiskey neat one every week which would be 48 a year. The hard stuff he could drink easier with mixers. Give him another good 30 years to get it done so he'll be only 75, assuming he buys no more bottles and doesn't drink anybody else's booze for any reason and that's 1,440 bottles of booze. And probably liver disease. But _still_ do-able.

Mr. Hound: Enjoyed the tour. How much do you think you've spent on your collection over the past 20 years? What is your favorite spirit? Mine is Tequila. I also age my own tequila in small, medium char, 1 gal American oak barrels with really good results. I start with inexpensive 100% agave base, like Zappopan, etc and end up with delicious extra Anejo style about 6-12 months later, which usually renders closer to fine cognac. Quite smooth and minimal burn. Probably $100+ per bottle equivalent. I was amazed at the amount of evaporation during aging, about 20%+ "Angels share". You might consider adding Bacanora and Sotol,etc. to your Tequila shelf. They are a wild harvested agave spirit other then the Weber Blue agave. Regards, J
@LiquorHound10 жыл бұрын
GereDJ2 - Thank you J, and great job on maturing your own tequilas. Right now my favorite spirit would probably be a Whiskey/Whisky. I'm really torn between single malts and bourbons right now since there are such great bottlings in each category. But my first love was Tequila, so it will always be near my heart. As for how much I've spent on my collection, while I do know the exact amount, I usually don't mention it (since my wife doesn't like hearing that big number). ;) I can say that if I were to have all that money back and had to start my collection all over, I'd save myself the time and trouble of all that searching and just buy my wife and I a couple of new Nissan GTR's (and throw a few bottles of cheap booze in the back).

Thank you Dwayne. I do have many open bottles but I use argon after every time I pour from them. This resealing technique has made my bottles last 5-10+ years without a loss of flavor or alcohol by volume. An important note is not to disturb the bottles once sealed and to keep an eye on their cork conditions. See my video "Glassware, Corks & Spirit Oxidation" for more information and a taste comparison of a bottle that's been opened 5 years versus a brand new bottle. Cheers!.

Jeremy Hevey - Thankfully the 1824 series is not in the US yet (as far as I've heard). ;) I have noticed that the distributor here in Texas has begun to dump their inventory of the age stated 12's onto the retailers (a few stores sitting on 12-20 cases in the store). I'm a tad worried that after awhile there won't be any more 12's distributed, but rather the 1824 series will replace them (but that's all speculation). As for the 18's, they seem to be readily available, but most have seemed unwilling to drop the $200 on them. Cheers!

You're correct. If you don't take measures to prevent oxidation, you probably should finish them within a year or two. There are many variables though. If it's a high abv bottle or if it drinks hot (big spice), you could probably extend that a bit as it could use some calming. I use a tank of argon to gas roughly 95% of my open bottles to prevent oxidation/flavor loss. For smaller home bars, a wine preserver spray works well. Cheers!

You have a great and extensive collection/bar, and I see that many of the bottles have actually been opened and ‘enjoyed’; which is great. I can’t stand people that just buy liquor for the sake of collecting. That said, experimenting that many bottles (that is if they are merely for your own private pleasures vs. running a bar open to the general public) posses a couple of potential dilemmas: 1) controlling the oxidization and the loss of the intricate characteristics of the opened bottles, and 2) the long-term hepatic (liver) impact of experimenting and enjoying that many bottles of liquor. There are many methods available to combat the oxidizing/deteriorating effects of oxygen on air exposed liquor, which I’m certain you’re already aware of. Now, whether or not you actually have the time to take care of that many bottles is a different story. As for the potential liver problems, my recommendation would be for you to do an annual ultrasound of the liver and also have your liver enzymes checked periodically.

It’s definitely something we should all consider so thank you for the info. I do use argon to preserve my open bottles, so even though I’ve acquired many bottles and have tasted/shared them, I don’t drink from them all the time. As a matter of fact, I still have the very first bottle in my collection that’s 3/4 full from 1994. That said, I agree that being safe and proactive is a good idea for anyone who drinks alcohol. I also advocate drinking in moderation/responsibly. Thank you and cheers!

Wow, awesome collection! What yould you define as you favourite kind of liquor? To me its definitely Scotch followed by Bourbon and then rum. What would your ranking look like?

Any chance you can review (or have reviewed) Basil Hayden bourbon?

I have 30 bottles and half aren’t opened yet due to fear of not drinking them in enough time before oxidation changes them. Do you ever worry about having so many bottles open for long lengths/years at a time?

I've always used argon to reseal most of my open bottles. The only ones that don't get it, are the ones I want to soften a bit more. That method has protected my collection for decades. Cheers!
