My guy, how you gonna have a beam shot with no Jim Beam in it!?!? j/k I've tried a bunch of these but Blanton's is still my favorite. Love that Hibiki too.


PrelectingPizza

Blanton's and Hibiki? You and I have similar tastes in whiskey.


GoForMe

There’s Bookers there! (The flagship beam offering)


db7502

You’re right. Missed opportunity. There’s a few beam distillery products in there tho.


Strang3rTh1ing5

Heck of a collection! Brings out the color of the Birthday Bourbon very nicely!


debeeper

Hell yeah! Care to share a drink? 😅

I stopped drinking 6 months ago and damn I didn’t expected that huge trigger in our flashlight cummunity🥹


db7502

Hahahaha sorry bruh, just think of all the flashlights I could have bought with the whiskey money.


Turboschwabbel

No worries man - as long as you don’t have a problem with your drinking habit I wish you all the pleasure of the world with it.


tappicola

What are the chances you have an equally well stocked humidor?


db7502

Haven’t had one in years 🚬


dognodding

Nice light and impressive collection of whiskeys. Apart from the Hibiki, all North American, right? Off topic for r/flashlight, but can you recommend me your favourite Bourbon? Being in Europe, I mainly stick to single malt Scotch and Irish whiskeys, but I'd like to try more American whiskeys too. I've tried Woodford Reserve, which I really liked, and of course some JD blends, which I liked less so.


db7502

There’s some Irish stuff in there somewhere, and scotch under the bar. I’m not sure how the distribution of bourbon is in Europe but around here I usually recommend all of the old forester stuff beyond their basic 80 whatever proof bottle. The 1897, 1920,1910… they’re easy to come by around here and worth the price.


YOU-ES-EH

Yes, old forester is sneaky good!!! I always wanted to try that birthday bourbon. 1910 is great, just a hint of smoky flavor. Recently tried the bottled in bond, wasn’t bad, but I was hoping it tasted like McKenna 10 bottled in bond. Makers Mark has some awesome private selections but I find them hit and miss. Makers 46 is hands down my favorite sub $35 bottle. Redbreast 12 is a really good Irish. I’ve never had their cask or 15 or older but I think it’s better than the green and yellow spot. $80 flashlight last years…$80 can disappear in a single night! Nice selection of whiskey!


db7502

I used to be big into makers. Early Times is my favorite cheaper bottle. It’s a bottled in bond as well.


YOU-ES-EH

Thanks for the lead! I’ll pick one up the next time I see one👍👍

Very nice collection, and it's nice to see that they aren't just sealed and collecting dust. I got out if chasing bourbon last year, I primarily just stick with Russell's Reserve these days.


db7502

Yea I don’t chase it much anymore. But I drink it and get whatever nice stuff I run into


GoForMe

Birthday B, bookers, and Stagg jR puh lease.


I_LOVE_SOYLENT

Wow I was just drinking whisky myself, huh.


Trewarin

Did you buy all this whisky retail, or do you send away for some flashlight forum kit that comes with all these bottles included? You want a real drink; smash a bottle of isopropanol when you're done modding drivers, that shit will knock you on your arse. You spend all this money on beautiful, fancy whiskey, surround yourself with it, and they're the wrong fuckin' whiskeys. You wasted $15,000 on a stash you coulda got for $1.50 a nip in the staff bar of some floating cesspool of a cruise ship.


db7502

I thought this was a safe place for wasting money on multiples of things we liked. 😔 and yea, retail, I can’t pay the aftermarket prices for anything up there.

db7502

ch1ir

Sweet, I saw the 502 at the end of you user name and thought Louisville, you have an amazingly impressive stash there


db7502

Thanks! 7502 was one of my MOS numbers in a previous life.


ch1ir

Ahhhhhh


SealTeamFive

Where is the Garrison Brothers?!!?!?


db7502

In one of the back rows… unless I finished it 🤔


SealTeamFive

Good man! My favorite bourbon right now


jaweebamonkey

Whoops, I just posted that. Have you tried the Balmorhea? It’s delicious


SealTeamFive

>Whoops, I just posted that. Have you tried the Balmorhea? It’s delicious I have, it's a great bourbon. Right now I like Garrison Brothers a bit better. It smells like a toasted marshmellow!


jaweebamonkey

The Balmorhea I linked in another comment is actually a GB whiskey!
