9 at the moment:

Glenmorangie 10

Glenlivet 12 First Fill
Glenfiddich 15 Solera
Bowmore 12 Enigma
Laphroaig 10
Lagavulin 16
Talisker 10
Highland Park 18

The Glenfiddich and Highland Park were both Christmas gifts which I opened on the day! Very impressed by my first tasting of the HP 18.

JAB, would you recommend the Bowmore Legend? My Bowmore Enigma is almost finished and I want to replace it with a new Bowmore...

[Mark]

I usually have between 30 to 50 bottles open at any one time, probably because i finf=d it hard to resist opening a new bottle i havent tasted before.

Alex i think the Bowmore Legend is a very good whisky for your money, i always have a bottle open.

[Smithie]

I had 37 opened until yesterday when i opened another 4 botlles which i got as a gift, couldnt resist opening all 4

[JAB]

[Blackadder]

Not sure exactly but around 40 open but i have seen me with almost double that open but i am trying to limit it. Just open a couple yesterday.

[5-12-1908]

I must be the sad man of the forum......


..1....


I "try" not to share them (unless its my son) I open one bottle, and revel in it until I finish it. Then I'll open another for a new taste fest.


Perhaps I need to get myself sorted and buy more, and so be able to open more........or perhap just tell the wife less.

[JAB]

Now up to 12, Opened an Ardmore and a Laphroaig Quarter Cask last night

[Tom W]

varies from 2 - 4.....never try to have too much opened due to potential oxidisation

[Kava]

Opened another couple of bottles yesterday so in ow have 14 open. I have had loads more open at once in the past but i am trying to limit that now.

[Bookie]

Earlier this evening i opened a Highland Park 18 and now i have just opened a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail which where both christmas gifts. Prpbably have about 25 bottles opened.

[Hodge]

i always have around 10 bottles open give or take a 2 or 3
