Anyone got any in their collection they are too scared to open?
The ones for sale seem to be about £1500 a bottle.

You’re obviously a person of taste, can’t you get like a cabinet or something for those beauties instead of a plastic tub? 😜

Love it. Was just giving you a hard time. My cabinet could use an upgrade

Opened a Lot B and ER17 last week on the day that I got them.

like

Sounds like a great night.

Lot B = 12-yr Van Winkle. ER17 = Eagle Rare 17-yr and part of Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC), an annual release. Both bourbon.

I bought a bottle of Yamazaki 25 (Bill Amberg Limited Edition) at auction in 2016 for £2,800 ($3,400). I very nearly opened it that Christmas. Somewhat glad I didn’t, the last time I checked a bottle was going for $30,000.

But missed opportunity to earn the epithet yamazaki kamikaze

funny

A few, yeah. Each now worth 10-15x what I paid. EH Taylor Seasoned Wood, Four Roses 50th Anniversary Al Young, 2016 WLW.

I’m sure they’re amazing, and life is short, but that’s a lot of dough.

Looking back, would you save them now?

I’ll admit I have no plan for this bottle. I got it as a wedding present from my bro some years back. I would never buy it for myself. So this is my only real chance to enjoy a bottle. But it is very expensive and worth a lot. So I am just sitting tight right now. I think, when the world inevitably ends soon, I will drink it as the bombs start falling.
