You finally get a hyped rare bottle, do you...open it and share with buddies, or keep it sealed and bask in the glory of owning it?

Open and share with my buddies. Half of every bottle I get is split with my core group of friends that I grew up with and the rest is slowly sipped by yours truly thereafter

Open and share. One of my fav things to do is everyone brings a cool/rare/unique bottle and we do a tasting

Unless you plan on selling (which I am strongly against buying with the intent to flip but everyone is entitled to do whatever they want), I genuinely do not understand the desire to hoard sealed bottles just to brag about owning them. You can still bask in the glory of an open bottle/empty bottle AND you can brag about having drank something so rare.

Depends on your definition of rare - Hibiki 21 sure, Yamazaki 50 - no

Open em up whiskey is better with an audience. That said, I’m not buying anything that is so crazy rare that I’ll never see another.

Open and share. I buy whiskey to enjoy, not hoard like a dragon.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

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.
