Saw this on a Connecticut Bourbon enthusiasts page. Either this guy has very deep pockets, or a direct hookup with a distributor.

    Maybe both. That’s a beautiful collection. 

    A real tease for a bourbon enthusiast who can’t access any at present.

    I would look at his definition of top shelf.  There are a few lower tier bottles that merit elevation.  Would that I had that challenge.

    I had similar thoughts, but then thought maybe he's on the shorter side so his favorites are on the first shelf down.

    I'm thinking he has very deep pockets, this is one photo I snagged from a post about building those shelves.

    Pretty interesting what he actually seems to drink from the options there.  BT, Blanton’s, Michter’s.

    Agreed, I noticed that those seem to be the majority of the open bottles. I wonder if the rest is just a flex.

    These two bottles should never be in the same pic.

    It's coming along slowly, but making decent progress.

    I am good with Weller. You can get that as a daily at our home, and I have several other labels that are considered premium, but my fave is simple, O-Fo, bottled in bond. Kind of a Louisville thing, since I live just a couple miles from the distillery.
