I see your from Georgia too. So what times are you not normally home? 
Nice bass and a nice selection of bourbons you got there.
Blanton's, George T. Stagg, Rip van Winkle, Weller 12yo, Barterhouse, Elijah Craig and Elmer T. Lee. Take out the Elijah Craig and that's a first class bar right there.
what no Bulleit? No Buffalo Trace? no Makers Mark?
wait there is a bass in that pic?

I have about that much Rip Van Winkle left as well and I'm not finishing it until I can find another bottle!
The Elijah Craig is presumably his mixer.
Anyway, lovely collection all around, including the bass!

Another Bourbon fan here in the UK, oh nice bass by the way

I might know where you can get one or two.
The Elijah Craig is the Barrel Proof - it is a pretty good bourbon.
Since when did Makers Mark become so elite? I understand the appeal of bourbon, having grown up in KY bourbon country, and my family knew the Samuels pretty well. But back in the 70’s, the Makers Mark distillery just produced good bourbon, nothing magical. I think advertising is mostly responsible for its desirability...oh and the plastic dipped cap. IMO, its all about image. The Samuels were able to use that to their great advantage.

Single malts only for me, I'm afraid, but I do love that bass.
I feel like I should recognise it, but I don't - what make is it?
Might be next on my "to-be-drooled-over" list...

Just to remain true to the thread...
... how much do the bottles weigh?

Here in upstate NY it’s pretty standard and easily found. Buffalo Trace is the one that not too long ago could be had for $22 a fifth and wasn’t on single case allocation to most retailers. Part of it is that is these guys are still making their own stuff for themselves and not farming it out to Indiana.
@p k; Congrats on your “Nice Bourbon Day” thread! 
Amazing! I just sent my deposit 2 weeks ago for a Carl Thompson Fretless 6.
And yes, you have an excellent bar! You must raise a toast to your bass after each practice.

Congrats, his work has been particularly great lately. It is a wait but definitely worth it.
