How many open bottles do you normally have?

[orangedogofglory]

just finished off a Balvenie 15 bottle, so down to 16.

[pkt77242]

Don't want to know, last time I looked I was in the high 60's low 70's.

[ClubSmed]

26 as I have now opened SMWS 82.18 "Rubber truncheons and bargepoles".

[ClubSmed]

I thought it was quite a spectacular dram, and my wife (who does not like whisky) thought that it was pleasant (not sure if that is a good thing though.
It was quite fruity and chewy on the palate and had Murray Mints on the nose and finish as I recall. Will do proper tasting notes for this after my next dram.

[orangedogofglory]

the recently acquired Balvenie Vintage is open - back up to 17!

[ClubSmed]

After opening up a bottle of the Glenlivet 15yo French Oak I am now up to 27 full sized bottles open

[mikeymad]

Opened up 12 bottles last week... So I have gone way up...

Have to give a recount sometime...

Need to start a killing spree...

Cheers,

[johan brugge]

If I'm not mistaking I've got 17 bottles open and waiting to be emptied.

Reading through the replys should this topic be called, how many bottles do you have open now as opposed to, how many open bottles do you normally have? One suggests an average, how many open bottles do you 'normally' the other specifically asks, how many bottles do you have open now, something that might be in a state of flux, for reasons that are many.
This question after all, was posted in the whisky poll section not in a more general part the forum.

Open

22 SMSW
2 Anejos
2 Jins
1 Vodka
1 Rum
1 Port wine

Two years back, two bottles open at a time would have been considered unnecessary, because only Chivas 12 was in stock.

[ClubSmed]

Open

22 SMSW

Is that 22 Single Malt Scotch Whisky or 22 bottles of Single Malt Scotch Whisky society bottles open?

Either way I would be interested to know what they are.

[Muskrat Portage]

60 opened, tempted to make it 61 tonight. That Curiositas is calling gently to me.
Musky

[The Third Dram]

That Curiositas is calling gently to me.

Once you open it Musky, you won't regret the decision.

[johan brugge]

I've got 19 bottles open and ready to drink. But this Caol Ila 1984 Samaroli is calling my name. But so does that Bowmore 1995 CWC.

[Willie JJ]

Back down to 47. It's going the right way (I think )

Back to 47

Did something happen in between those two posts?

I agree. It's very drinkable.

[hyperfuji]

15 just opened 3 more, didnt open the rollercoaster, but pretty tempted

[Willie JJ]

Indeed I do know.

I finished off four sample bottles last night, but still haven't opened any new bottles. The problem is that the number of closed bottles is really creeping up. I keep getting dark looks from my mrs.

[lohssanami]

37 open bottles for me, but 9 of them are different batches of Ardbeg TEN.

[pkt77242]

Somewhere north of 80

I think I need a shot of self control

I will try to get an exact count when the wife is not home.

[johan brugge]

More than 80? Wow. That really is a lot. I'm down to 15 but I'm going to open my new Glenfiddich 18 pretty soon.

[burnsy]

8 open
3 blends (all JW, green, gold, blue), the rest SMS
i will be increasing inventory levels next week as i go on a shopping spree
mini celebration

[Ganga]

I was about to say that I was south of 40...then I made a count. Turns out I'm with Nick...47.

[dramtastic]

Currently 51 with somewhere between 35 and 55 being the norm for the last 6 months.

the secret to a happy marriage, just don't tell them. the less she knows the better

[johan brugge]

I'm a bit more modest than. I just opened the new release of the Glenfiddich 18yo so now I have 16 bottles open. My Caol Ila 18yo will be next.

[Ganga]

Never thought I'd see the day I had more open bottles than Nick. Holding at 48.

[Willie JJ]

Yeah Sean but then when she eventually complains about the number of open bottles you'll have to put in a lot of work clearing them out.

Nice Willie. Up to 90 bottles now. I will not open another bottle till I finish 2 bottles. Well that is what I am saying for now.
