I like the background bottles also. I just yesterday found my first bottle of ECBP. Everything I read indicates it is one of the easier to find allocated bottles, but this is the first I've ever seen. And for some reason even at restaurants that have decent bourbons, no one ever seems to have it in stock. Looking forward to cracking the bottle (though I need to finish a couple others before I start it).Unopened. My 2nd bottle
I almost literally have everything or have had. Although bourbon really isnt my jam.
I am on the kill a bottle buy a different bottle plan.
HOWEVER
Eagle rare 10, EH, Elijah Craig 18, Widow Jane the Vaults, angels envy and woodford master collection will always have a place on my bar and I will chase them when they are in stock.
Worth noting that EH Taylor is the straigh rye.
Then you get into my ryes or tequila which are where my heart is and the shitgoes crazy.
Yes the whistle pig has a Boss hog X stopper on it. I killed the bottle but kept the stopper.

Going further down your bar there... What you think of those tequilas? I just got a bottle of 7L blanco today and it's good but I had slightly higher hopes that it'd be a bit smoother. El Tesoro was right next to it and seems to be well thought of also. It'll be a few months before I grab another bottle though as I try to get most of the way through one before getting another...
For bourbon I like Eagle Rare, Blantons, and Bulleit Rye. It takes me a looong time to get through a bottle of bourbon to though.
Woodford reserveWho’s a bourbon drinker and what is your go to label?
That’s awesome!! Great setup with the lighting and mounts in the middle too!So. I might have redone my bar since that picture. I had quite a bit more stashed away not in that picture. Right top and right middle are all tequilas.
I asume you mean Siete Leguas. I like the one I have which is the decadas, HOWEVER. Its a crillio agave and not a blue weber agave so it has a bit of a different taste then a traditional blanco. Its been a while since I had the regular blanco but I dont remember it being bad. I rely pretty heavily on tequila match maker. And have been happy on purchases I made via scores and tasting notes.
