Because of the shelf space I have available, I’ve decided to target a total of 125 bottles in my permanent collection. The initial breakdown by category is:
50 Scotch
35 Bourbon
10 Rye
7 Other American
5 Irish
3 Japanese
5 World
10 Wildcard
125 Total
That breakdown may change as I start to fill in the slots. I’ve learned over the past couple of years that I like most whiskey styles, but my favorites tend to be scotch and bourbon.
I’ll update this Google spreadsheet as I begin filling up slots: bit.ly/3VcSQM4

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. I’m riding a 312-mile virtual challenge of the St. Francis Way (from Florence to the Vatican) and am raising money for the research efforts of the American Diabetes Association. If you can make a contribution, I’d be hugely appreciative. The GoFundMe page is: gofund.me/105d3034
All donations are tax deductible and go directly to the ADA, not to me.
What would your pours be for this challenge?
The Poor Pour – what did you drink when funds were very limited?
The Illegal Pour – what did you drink before you were “legal”?
The Baller Pour – what would you pour to impress your friends/enemies?
The Proud Pour – what pours are you really proud to have in your collection?
The Private Pour – What do you hide away to drink privately / or what are you too embarrassed to let other know you enjoy so you drink it alone?
If you do this challenge, please tag my channel in your description. I’d really enjoy seeing what everyone chooses.

I have too many bottles of whisky and I’m going through my whole collection–one style of whisky at a time–and identifying the ones I want to keep in my collection and the ones I won’t buy again.
For bourbon, I want to keep a total of 30 bottles. Which ones will make the final cut?
Today I’m comparing my three lowest-priced bourbons:
Evan Williams 1783 ($23 and 45% ABV)
Elijah Craig Small Batch ($23 and 47% ABV)
Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond ($20 and 50% ABV)

Tonight’s Bottle: Connemara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Let’s see how I do on these four questions:
1. Is it whisky? (1 point)
2. What style is it? (2 points)
3. What’s the ABV? (3 points)
4. What bottle is it? (4 points)

I’m tasting four barrel proof bourbons for the first time to see which ones I like the best. Will I be able to tell the difference or will I cripple my palate?
(To be honest, continuing to taste them while I edit this video, I’m not sure my initial rankings hold up. They’re all changing on me. For example, the Larceny B523, which I put 4th initially, moved WAY up in the rankings after spending more time with it. Oh darn, I’ll just have to keep tasting them.)
