Not a collector by any means but curious how long is it cool to keep an open bottle?? Like if I open something that’s more special occasion type of stuff. He good for a year or so or is it more like go ahead and finish him?

With proper storage an open bottle will be good for longer than a year. Some say that once the bottle is under 50% full, it's best to finish it within 6 months, but I've had bourbons opened for much longer that tasted fine., Jake

I went to tasting at a friend's house (ok, his garage) last night. Tried a boatload of different whiskeys, so many that I got so buzzed I forgot to take a picture. :LOL: Some of the pours were single barrel picks, Russell's (several), Knob Creek, Elijah Craig. Then some others I've never tried... Russell's Single Rickhouse, some 70's Wild Turkey, 70's Old Fitzgerald, Lot B.

A guy who does a lot of barrel picks for our group came and brought me two of their latest Knob Creek pick. Unfortunately, the Maker's Mark and Elijah Craig picks I ordered weren't in yet.
