Ha. Does whiskey go bad? Clear bottle in direct light or heat can't be good, but I imagine it'd last a really long time. I do have a bottle of Scotch that I've been working on for more than a year. Hasn't seemed to change at all.
My last bottle of Oban lasted over 2. Great at the start, great at the finish.
A fun story is when a buddy of mine who "knew whiskey" had an old bottle of CC Reserve that he had found at his dad's house, probably 30 years old, unopened. He "aged" it and told how good it was going to be after he pushed it to 35/40 years.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that the process stops once it comes out of the barrel.

Now that you mention it, I had the same conversation with a friend. His grandfather found a bunch of unopened liquor bottles, including a 40+ year old bottle of Crown Royal. He was so psyched about having a 40 yo bottle of whiskey. We drank some, and it was identically horrible to a new bottle.

I am still a bit of a newbie when it comes to bourbons (although there's usually a bottle of Woodford reserve on my drinks cart), so I found the bourbon tasting I went to last night to be both educational and a great way to get pissed.
It was run by the "Drinks Ambassador" from Beam Suntory and featured Jim Beam Black, Basil Hayden, Jim Beam Signature Craft, Makers Mark 46, Knob Creek 12 year old Reserve and Bookers.
Enjoyed all of them, but REALLY enjoyed the Knob Creek.

Double the bourbon and go for it. I love a good cocktail and that looks like a good summer bourbon drink. Obviously, don't use top shelf bourbon for a mix like that, IMO.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.

I have no idea about bourbon. They all taste the same to me and all I think about when I taste them is throwing up Jack Daniels in a field by a bonfire and that is enough to keep me away. But that's not important right now.
Pathfinders for Autism, who I work for, has been awarded a bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon to auction off at our big fundraiser this weekend. I am being told that these bottles can sell for upwards of 5 grand. Has anyone heard of this stuff and is it really that rare and valuable?

Maybe call Buffalo Trace and explain the situation to help with setting the reserve amount, and value?

That's the plan. I have to see if I can get the stuff here by this weekend for our big event.

Interesting. Looks like this is a special release given to charities only. That makes it impossible to estimate the value, but the distillery rep expects they could sell for over $10,000. According to their website, they did a similar charities release in 2011, and the highest bid was over $7,000. They have some great verbiage to use to convey how special these bottles are. They used whiskey from They only made 200 bottles, and used whiskey distilled in 1980, 1982, or 1983. Not sure if they aged them that whole time, or how thy were stored. Let us know what you bring in, curious to hear.

Bought a bottle of Bulleit (and gin, and light rum, and coconut rum) this afternoon. Needed to restock the home bar in preparation for a party this weekend.
If you have the chance to try the Bulleit 10 year, do it. It's outstanding.
This seemed like a better idea at the VA ABC Store than actually in the glass tonight. Especially when the package that came with the BBQ sauce was the same price as without the BBQ sauce.

The only thing that would make your wife cooler would be if that's her in your avatar.
She's German/Italian, so darker and much bigger tits.
When I met her she was a wine drinker. Now she's all about barleywines and big ass stouts. She broke into out stash of Uncle Jacob's tonight (an imperial stout aged in Makers, this was the 2014, so only 15%) and had an epiphany.
Well, it is still available because the guy is skittish about a wrinkle in the top left corner of the label. So, she still has a chance. For her, $6500.

At the parents house and the same brandy I didn't finish in high school still in the same spot. I'd put the purchase date at 1983. Says 10yr on the unsealed half drunk bottle. Still OK to drink?
