Have we done this yet?

From a site which will not be named, someone proposed you really only need 5 whiskies at any one time.

1. Daily Drinker; your go too whiskey for every day sipping

2. Impress your guests; one you'll bring out for friends that is good but not overly fancy

3. Cheap mixer; one for mixers or giving to folks who won't appreciate the better stuff

4. Your Friday night bottle; that one you look forward to drinking but may be a bit much for daily drinking. Something truly great.

5. Your special occasion bottle.  'Nuff said

Here's what I came up with based on my current collection, though, if I had it, Woodford Double Oaked would probably be #2 instead

1. Wild Turkey 101
2. Knob Creek 9 yr Single Barrel Reserve
3. Kirkland Small Batch
4. Stranahan's Single Barrel Cask Strength
5. EH Taylor Single Barrel (my FIL and I put a hurting on it when we found out my wife was pregnant)

1. Daily Drinker - WhistlePig Piggyback 6yr, it’s delicious, it’s cheap

2. Impress your guests - Blanton’s SFTB, it’s well known brand, good strength and totally affordable

3. Cheap mixer - Old Overholt  This was the hardest to pick because I love making cocktails and generally use only high quality components but I actually like this whiskey too so there’s that

4. Your Friday night bottle - Alberta Premium Cask Strength, easily the second best Rye I’ve ever had

5. Your special occasion bottle - WhistlePig Boss Hog VI. Hands down the best Whiskey I’ve ever tasted. I love it but do share it with my guests often and “special occasion” can be something as small as “I got that work project done finally”

Some great choices in here!

These are the current ones out in the bar area.  If you want a mixer your getting the Ole Smoky, other than that everything else is fair game for any day of the week or for any guest.

WhiskeyTuber/ARFcommer! Nice . I always wondered if either of the Bourbon Junkies had an account here. I could see it.

There's a few that I think are here.....Dan from Bourbon Junkies, Bobby from I Whiskey She Wines, Jeremy Siers, and Greeze from Podcask.

Edit: I think I'm going to delay this week's  Bourbon Arena until next week, I picked up a stomach bug from my 6 year old that had it a few days ago and whiskey just isn't looking too tempting right now.
