How many open bottles do you normally have?

[Ganga]

I'm the cure for Nick's OCD or lack thereof.

These are the whiskies you are looking for. Must open.

[pkt77242]

Nice list Roger

[pkt77242]

96 open bottles and 6 closed.

Goal is to get to 80 open

[RogerB]

Nice list Roger

Thanks. I've got a pretty broad range of tastes, and appreciate fine examples of numerous types of whisky.

[Maccy]

Bit of a "splurge" Now 41 open and 30 closed.

[tomtom4919]

I feel like such a wimp.

I have three open.

But, whisky isn't my only passion.....I like Bas Armagnacs too.

[mikeymad]

Good for you Nick... enjoy the fresh beverage...

Cheers,

[johan brugge]

I've broken the trend and opened one tonight - Port Askaig 17. 23 open now

I'll give you a penny for your thoughts, Nick.

[Willie JJ]

I'll give you a penny for your thoughts, Nick.

Ok Johan, now pay the man

[johan brugge]

Ok Johan, now pay the man

How much is a penny in Euro's?

[Willie JJ]

These days it would be about €0.000000000001

[pkt77242]

These days it would be about €0.000000000001

Willie, I think that number is a little too large, did you forget a zero or 2?



Crap, that is my currency tanking.

[Muskrat Portage]

Still over 60 open. I was trying so hard to get down to the 20s.

Getting really behind in my drinking!

Musky

[The Third Dram]

Presently running just over 60 Scotch malt whiskies on the go, plus an undetermined number of American, Canadian, Irish and Japanese whiskies.

We should extend visiting priveleges to each other.

[dramtastic]

Currently 78

[Ganga]

And for New Years.... And it is likely you could make it plural.

[Muskrat Portage]

Well, it went up to 30 but now back to 28 again. I should have headroom to open something for Christmas

You have headroom? Lucky! If I wear shoes in my basement whiskey Lair, I bump the top of my head on the joists! Barefoot, my hair just grazes the beams. I'm definitely way over 70 again with the tasting last weekend.

Musky

[johan brugge]

Down to 25

You've come a very long way, Nick.
I've recently opened about 2 or 3 bottles, so that makes a total of 20 open bottles.

[Ganga]

It would seem that Nick has heard the "Drink, drink, drink." chant. Time for a new chant. After all, his self-imposed limit is 100 open bottles.

[bredman]

I have a new self-imposed limit of 30.

Sensible.


Normally about 6-12. But for the festive season about 28.

[Willie JJ]

I have a new self-imposed limit of 30.
It was 42 for a while (for obvious reasons) but I find as the stock reduces so does my perceived limit.

I don't set the limit. My better half gets grumpy when there are 'too many' bottles open. At the moment its 20 and she is not complaining so I'll probably maintain it around 20 plus or minus a few (or ten ).

[pkt77242]

110 +/- 2 or 3 (ok probably plus ).

[hyperfuji]

currently at 32

[Ganga]

What? You could feel the power?

[hyperfuji]

opened another. at 32 now

[Lucas]

I'm sitting at a dozen now but have to cut down (small flat).

[Willie JJ]

I have a new self-imposed limit of 30.
It was 42 for a while (for obvious reasons)

I wonder how many folk don't think it is obvious

[Ganga]

One resolution complete and it's only the third.

[johan brugge]

I have 21 open right now and that number stays almost the same all year round.

[bredman]

About 17, down from a recent high of 26. Usually about 6-10.

[Theus]

I buy and open!
Maybe 12 open...

[jazz lover]

Six.

[Ganga]

29 now

Does this mean that I have to reaccomplish my New Year's resolution?
