The other part to the frustration is some of these guys get upset if you drink any bottle you bought that was hard to find.. Hey boss I don't spend my money on this to look at it.

Should be a crime. I have a buddy that acquired a bottle of van winkle 20 year and it's locked in his safe like a precious artifact. I get it's a $5000 bottle but why buy it if not to enjoy it

Some of these guys are finding Blantons and paying upwards of $150+ and have several bottles but won't drink it..

Someone said people who's never had it wouldn't understand.. I said I've had it, it's ok, I think it's overpriced for $60/bottle (normal going rate).. Boy did I create an uproar..

That stuff pisses me off. These guys who buy it up just to sit on it when others (like myself) would gladly drink it are ruining the point of them making the bourbon in the first place.

I'm not a collector... I mean I don't buy stuff to look at.. Now granted I have two bottles of Old Forrester sitting in my cabinet I haven't opened, but I wanted to kill a couple of other bottles first..

Before you ask they're both Whiskey Row bottles.. Ones 1910 and the other is 1920.
