What’s your starter kit for starting a decent bourbon collection? Price ranging from 30-100. I’m a huge Woodford, EC and Buffalo Trace fan but haven’t expanded much beyond this.

I got time so going all out here and building your whole collection.

I generally make sure I always have a bottle of - WT101, McKenna BIB, Old Grand Dad 114, Russels SiB, 4 Roses (Yellow and SiB), Basil Hayden, Rittenhouse Rye and Makers 46. Those should all be $20-40, with Russell’s a little more and Mckenna being a wildcard depending on your state, so that’s a full bar for ~ $300.

Definitely grab an ECBP if you haven’t tried it for another $75.

Grab an ancient ancient age (make sure its 2 ancients) and EHT SmB to try two others from BT distillery. You could go for a Weller (WSR or more expensive OWA 107) or Stagg Jr over the EHT if you wanted to spend a little more. This will cost you another $75-150 depending on the 2nd bottle choice.

I’m not sure where to go with your Woodford preference. You could certainly try their rye or wheat versions but they won’t taste like the straight bourbon that you like. A masters collection or batch proof will set you back $125+, but if I’m starting a collection, I’m not choosing any of these to be most expensive bottle.

If you still have cash burning a hole in your pocket, you will need another barrel proof / cask strength. I would go with WT Rare Breed and/or Makers Cask so that you can taste those with their lower proof brothers I initially recommended and should only set you back another $50 a piece.

4 Roses I enjoy their low end and high end but not their mid tier. Gentleman Jack while not a true bourbon is good one meat for those that like something smoother.

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long? I’ve always just submitted each timer as soon as I finish a task—“call with x re y” really doesn’t take that long even if I’m busy, and if I don’t do it immediately I’ll forget all those little I did in the morning by the time I go to bed. No shade at all to those with different systems, just genuinely curious because I see a lot about catching up at month end on here and I have no idea how that works??
