However, because whiskey is consumable and perishable, the behavior deviates from collectors of non-perishable objects such as a guitars.<br /><br />The "joy" here is the ownership of an object (a bottle of whiskey) perceived as highly desirable by others driven by "expert reviews" and "limited releases". It's a tragedy. But I never contribute to the comedy via bottle-spot.com.<br /><br />As my father taught me: if no one buys stolen goods, then people will steal because they "need" it (not accounting for aberrations). Don't patronize bottle-spot.com<br /><br />I drink and do mourn the ones I **LOVE** but can no longer acquire. My cabinet of 60+ bottles of whiskey is a side effect of NOT drinking the ones I don't like. So I throw a party and have old fashions for all my guests. Then back to square one.<br /><br />Cheers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-50041441903460149582018-01-19T12:57:22.687-08:002018-01-19T12:57:22.687-08:00Well said!

I'll either drink it, serve it, or give it away!Dagrebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776169159854683528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-63605378764744456902018-01-19T11:27:03.686-08:002018-01-19T11:27:03.686-08:002017 was the first year for me, since going pro in...2017 was the first year for me, since going pro in 2010, when I bought less than I drunk (both in number of bottles and $$). I'm planning to keep this path, so that in about 20 years I bring my stockpiles down to zero. My liquor expenses are down to 25% of their 2012 peak. I've been concerned for the last couple of years with this issue of not accumulating more than I can drink. Keep these sanity checks coming, thanks!Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.com
