Out of curiosity, how often and how much do you drink from the bottles you get—especially the hard to find ones?

I intentionally open them early so I get the whole "should I open it" question over with (unless I already have one), because what is the point of owning it otherwise. I get the neck pour out, and then add it to the rotation. If you only pour .5 oz pours, you'll get 51 pours, so you can make it last. Also group the best on one shelf and when new folks come over it's limit one and host pours unless it's a special occasion, so you don't get a newbie filling up a glen with 3 oz of GTS and knocking it back like a shot (learned that the hard way).

Ouch and thanks for the insight 🥃

Keep ~3 very rare bottles (Pappy) open at any given time, only drink on special occasions. Keep ~5 rare (W12, CYPB) open and drink as I feel like it (2-3 pours a month). Keep ~7 regulars open (SW UCUF, ER) and drink a few times a week.

I replace open very rare bottles as I drink them, but have a pretty solid stock of rare bottles.

If it’s hard to find I tend to nurse them like crazy if i open them at all…

Just started my "collection" - hard to call it that because it's so small - in Feb so the one rare-ish bottle I have I haven't opened. Don't know that I will until I have the means to replace it and a few other trophies on the shelf. Doesn't mean I don't think about it every once and a while though.

drink the damn whiskey it's not baseball cards it's not a "collection" jesus

I drink them because it's not a collectors item. Fuck people who hoard whiskey. Assholes like that are the reason a bottle of weller that was abundantly available and 15-20 bucks is almost non existent and up to at least 50 bucks. Really wish all these hipsters would move on to rum or tequila and leave whiskey alone

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Sweet nose, but then a hit of savory spice on the tongue with an insanely long finish that is all cigar.

I wouldn’t drink this with a cigar, because you wouldn’t notice it, but it’s insane how much that finish lingers and mimics the mouth tingle after smoking a cigar.
