Great video Scott. I love that you went over every shelf and every bottle. Amazing collection 👌. Now we need to see Bart's and hope he puts as much time and detail into it. Cheers buddy 👍
Scott that's some collection you have there buddy and no doubt it's grown a fair bit since! Great to see thanks for sharing - I have a few bottles added to my list now! 👍
Hey Scott..as a whisky drinker and enthusiast that was brilliant..I love seeing other people's collections.fantastic compass box collection by the way..cheers my friend..when's Bart s coming..😁
Many thanks, Scott, for inviting us in to take a look at your fantastic collection! That's something to be especially proud of. And you've pretty much got something from every major whisky region - except Australia! When the muse takes you, have a "Captain Cook" at some of the material coming up from Down Under. You might be surprised. Cheers!
Awesome collection. Mines just nudged over the 100 bottle mark. Have you considered using a Argon spray (Ralfy recommended) for the bottles you’re not going to get to for a while?
I’ve only got 136 bottles... looks like I need to go shopping! I’m looking to expand my Japanese, Canadian and Irish collection. But I may hold off on Ireland and buy directly from the distillery when I visit.
Damn over 400 bottles. I thought my collection over 100 bottles was nice. Its great that you open them and share them with us. That doesn't even include the bottles that you drank. You have a very nice collection and I noticed that we share some bottles as well. Great review.
After watching this my collection feels inadequate as do my arms. I’m going to be doing some curls now and triceps extensions. Tomorrow I’m playing the lottery so I can buy some nice Scotches. Ha ha. Love this video! Thanks for taking us to what heaven would look like. My God that is one epic collection.
Such a nice collection. I also have some few collection of good whiskey. I have.. Dalwhinnie 15, Johnnie Walker green level 15, Clynelish 14, Craigellachie 13, Cardhu 12, Glenmorangie Lasanta 12, Glenkinchie 12, Ardbeg 10, Paul John Brilliance, Amrut sherry cask, Monkey shoulder. 🥃
Very nice,... people look at me sideways because I have about thirty open bottles! Some people see all those bottles and think "someone obviously has a problem", but of course the truth is that someone with a problem cannot amass such a collection because it would all go just as quick as they bought it.
thank you for your video Scott. I'm from Scotland and looking to expand my whisky collection. I currently have got 5 bottles of whisky. All of them are Scotch but looking at expanding my whisky tastes further and discovering more Scotch and different world whiskies as well.
Nice Collection with good presentation and lighting too, like the variable height shelf to accommodate different bottle sizes, found it challenging with standard cabinets out there.
Impressive little collection, there, Scott! I have had many of them, but they are largely emptied and gone now... I didn't see a lot of Canadian examples... It's time to remedy tHat!
hey scott. do you use wine preserver spray or any sort of gas in order to help preserve the whiskey in open bottles from oxidation? I have noticed some deminishing returns from open bottles after a few years, and started using enert gas in order to help get some of that oxygen out of the bottle before recorking. Wondering if you have any sort of system. thanks!
I do not Martin. I've only had problems with a couple bottles and they were both peated whiskies that only had a couple ounces left in them. We're actually doing a long term gassing test on our channel. I think we've had 3 annual looks and the fourth coming up.
oh yes, if they're open I've tried them. most have been reviewed on our channel. thats what i like with having so many is i can go look and say "what do I feel like drinking tonight?" sometimes its a bourbon, sometimes a scotch
Orphan Barrel: The Gifted Horse was one of those "epiphany pours" at a bar and have never even seen a bottle again until your video. Enjoy a dram for me!
That is a wonderful humungous collection of whiskies. I'm a beginner on 85 unopened bottles. A few more duicates that are open or to be opened. 83 are Scottish, 1 Irish, and 1 Welsh whisky. The Welsh whisky is called Penderyn, it's slightly peaty, and goes down very nicely. I drank quire a few wee drams with ( sounds like a beginning of a joke), an American, a Welshman and I a Scotsman at a wedding in Wales. Anyway I highly recommend it. Also if you can get your hands on it in the States, try to get hold of the Scottish whisky Tamnavulin, that is also really nice. That and Aberlour are my go to drinks. I really enjoyed your video and I've subscribed to it, I look forward to many more. A big thanks for putting your collection online to see. Andy
debate is out there about whiskey going bad. i've got bottles that have been opened 5+ years and are still good. Lot of variables though, cool/dark room, the higher the abv the better, the more in the bottle the better.
we are actually doing a test with the wine preserver. going on our third year. we have videos posted of our annual reviews. right now i'm not using any preserver on my open bottles and don't worry about it for the most part. i've really only noticed changes with peated whiskies after they're open for awhile and only have a small amount left in the bottle.
Very nice Scott! I think I’m at par with your Compass Box collection. Can’t seem to find that The General!!! I have yet to purchase the Myth’s & Legends, but hopefully soon. I never did pick The Orangerie, Transistor or Whisky De Table as I’m not sure they made it over to this side of the pond (well the Orangerie has).
great collection Scott, would be interested to know what you and Bart would list as your all time top 3 in the categories Scotch, Irish and American whiskeys (no restrictions just anything you have tried) Slainte
Wow! That’s a huge collection, and you can easily find bottles. I’m probably up to 200+ now. Glad to see you are using a Canon DSLR. I upgraded to the EOS 90D this Christmas. Cool Shure mic mixer.
Scotch Test Dummies The new 90 D does 4K at 30 FPS. It can also do full HD in high dynamic range (HDR) at 30 FPS and HD at 120 FPS. Big upgrade from my EOS T3i from nine years ago.😊
compass box... is there any brand that does better labels? and the whisky ain't half bad either :-). Brilliant collection Scott! Great to see such an exhaustive collection with so many open bottles!
Scott, I'm just new to you guys on You Tube. Loved the video of your collection, but no Bushmills in the Irish section? For shame! ;) I can recommend the 10, Distillery Reserve 12, just picked up the 16, and have had a taste of the 21 ... all lovely stuff! :)
Don't mean to be "that guy" but a couple small mistakes. You said the Balvenie Signature 12 predates the Double Wood 12, they were available at the same time, the Signature 12 being the latter release then it was discontinued after a few years, just before the 12yo Single Barrel was released. Also you called the Jameson Caskmates a Rye edition and it was the IPA. A very good video with a wealth of knowledge. My collection is currently at 272 but a lot of those are multiples of favorites from various years with about half being different.
Do you believe in stock-piling a back up bottle of something you like... or ten?... I didn't see many doubles, if any... do you also have a whisky bunker?
i cut out the extra bottles to save some time. I do have several bottles of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof so bunker away! No bunker here, everything is in this room.
Majority of bottles last years opened up. General rule of thumb is that once only a few ounces are left either drink it or re bottle to a smaller sample bottle. I've only noticed a change with two peated whiskies and one rye. The peated whiskies were left too long with only a couple ounces left in them and the rye just turned quick.
Great collection. I noticed there were no brandy. Being a sherry Scotch fan I found Brandy to be a great alternative and many times a better deal. Cooper and Kings makes some outstanding cask strength brandy for very good prices. And a 25 year old Armagnac goes for $70
Steve, I agree and have a single barrel Copper & Kings American brandy finished in bourbon barrels. And a Delord 25 yr Armagnac. Both have amazing flavors.
It's crazy, l don't now how much all that cost, here in Ireland it would be like new Mercedes s- class ,,where that money come from guys?? 🤔😁 congratulations...super nice collection..
First, LiquorHound doesn’t have 2800 whiskies...he is well respected because of his collection VARIANTS, meaning he has bottles from ALL liquor types, including Cognac, Armagnac, rum, tequila, vodka, bitters, liqueurs, and of course, whiskies, among many others. If you want to see a real collection, where EVERY bottle of whisky/whiskey was purchased by the same guy, check out Derek Mather’s setup, at his restaurant, ARTISAN. He has a backup copy at his house, too. Second, have you heard of PATREON? Well, so have the dumb-asses. So, before you jump too high and give complete credit to this fraud, keep in mind who is ALSO buying these whiskies, and just who is sending them on their distillery world tours. scotchwhisky.com/magazine/the-collectors/27127/derek-mather-artisan-restaurant/
@@ScotchTestDummies Waiting on the new magic cask..have been able to get a bottle of The Last Vatted Malt..if I ever get a second will send you a sample...hope the taste buds make a full recovery
There is no bad bourbon, there are cheap bourbon's, but the worst bourbon i ever had was good, and in fact I've had cheap that was better than top shelf, it's all about the corn 🌽👍

Wow! Nice collection, but some of ‘em getting a little low. You could have Roy stay at your house for a week and then do the best recycled review ever (but then you’d be down to 200 bottles again). Thanks for the tour.

95% of whisky bars would be envious of what you have there! Awesome collection!
thank you don.
I love it! You could drink a different whiskey every day and not drink the same whiskey twice in the same year. Absolutely fantastic!
good point! hadn't thought of that!
Very interesting and varied collection, Scott. Thank you for taking us along
thank you Krishna.
Wow, 25 minutes of drooling...very nice collection Scott. Kudos for the 90% bottles open!!!
thanks sorin!
My new life's goal is to have a room with nothing but whisky in it. Awesome stuff, man.

I’m seeing this episode late but thanks for sharing. Great collection!
Thanks for watching!
It's cool to see so many bottles open. I don't see much point in a liqueur collection that you never get to taste.
My thoughts exactly
Very nice collection, thank you for leting us in to your collection room!!!
thanks Luis.
Scott that's some collection you have there buddy and no doubt it's grown a fair bit since!
Great to see thanks for sharing - I have a few bottles added to my list now! 👍
its definitely grown, i now have almost two walls of whisky!

Wow can't be many better collections of Compass Box anywhere Scott, superb! And they are all open and being enjoyed.

It is different when you are serious and not screaming with your friend. Very good presentation indeed!
thanks Dylan, we like to bring both styles

there's a market for those too!
What a great collection. Loved that you took extra time for each bottle.

Not even 1 bottle of Ben nevis ?

Hey Scott do you periodically go through and tip the bottles to wet the corks? Or not worry about it?
don't worry about, but sometimes an older bottle thats been open for awhile will have the cork break.
Nice mate going to do my small collection video soon 👍👍
Cool 👍
Wow. So awesome you shared your collection. It’s amazing!
thanks for watching!
Great collection wow not sure why anyone would thumb down ? Thank you
Good question! thanks Tommy!
thank you for your video Scott. I'm from Scotland and looking to expand my whisky collection. I currently have got 5 bottles of whisky. All of them are Scotch but looking at expanding my whisky tastes further and discovering more Scotch and different world whiskies as well.
also wanted to ask. how do you drink whiskies like Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam? do you drink them straight or with something like coca cola?
We drink straight or with a bit of water or ice. Nothing against cola however
Nice Collection with good presentation and lighting too, like the variable height shelf to accommodate different bottle sizes, found it challenging with standard cabinets out there.
Thank you very much! l learned a couple things after the first shelving unit. Now its almost time to expand again!
Impressive little collection, there, Scott! I have had many of them, but they are largely emptied and gone now... I didn't see a lot of Canadian examples... It's time to remedy tHat!
thanks Quig, i only had a couple Canadians on a mixed shelf which I cut out to save some time.
@foodquig he did show a Canadian whiskey. Didn't you see the Whistle Pig? 🐖 😉
Great behind the scenes. I have been wanted to browse the shelf for a while.
thanks Captain
You have a lot of cool bottles in your collection. Impressive.
Thank you kindly
I really like how you mixed your glassware in with your bottles really a nice touch, I might have to borrow that idea...

Hi Scott.. did u try all the open bottles, if yes then how u decide which one u wannabe drink on a particular day
oh yes, if they're open I've tried them. most have been reviewed on our channel. thats what i like with having so many is i can go look and say "what do I feel like drinking tonight?" sometimes its a bourbon, sometimes a scotch
Amazing collection, thanks for giving us the tour.

My kind of whisky man 😊 big selection with open bottles . A true collector 🙏🏻
thanks Oyvind!
Orphan Barrel: The Gifted Horse was one of those "epiphany pours" at a bar and have never even seen a bottle again until your video. Enjoy a dram for me!
we reviewed it, it was one that was great neat or maybe with a drop of water, but don't add too much water or it broke down.

Great comment and sounds like you've got a pretty good start! Thanks Andy!
85 is a solid start!
Cheers guys, since 2 years ago it's now up to 220 different whiskies. Little did I know then it would gain momentum.
Is there a shelf life once the bottle is opened? I just purchased 25 bottles for $2100.00 just can’t imagine how much you spent.
thats the debate. there are many variables to that question.
Great bottles. I bet you like compass box and macallan more. I love it..cheers
two of my favorites!
woot finally!!! great to see you and your collection..
thanks Erik!
So normal UV light isn’t good for whiskys. What about LED light. Has anyone looked into that?
LED shouldn't hurt whisky, not sure if there's actually been any tests run or not.
How do you keep all these opened bottles from "going bad". Do you just prioritize drinking? Real question from an aspiring collector.

thanks David, interesting question...
Great collection.
Question.
Would the collection fall under a home owners insurance, or do you have separate policy for the collection alone.
I do not as the only thing to get insurance on would be the unopened bottles, and i don't really have enough of those to worry about.
Thanks you.
Enjoying all the reviews.

buy a new bottle or two every week and you can't keep up!
compass box... is there any brand that does better labels? and the whisky ain't half bad either :-). Brilliant collection Scott! Great to see such an exhaustive collection with so many open bottles!
agreed on Compass Box, thanks malty mission.
St. George's Baller has the coolest label. Has St. George imagined as a samurai and a Japanese style dragon.
Scott, I'm just new to you guys on You Tube. Loved the video of your collection, but no Bushmills in the Irish section? For shame! ;) I can recommend the 10, Distillery Reserve 12, just picked up the 16, and have had a taste of the 21 ... all lovely stuff! :)
I have had the Bushmills 16. I should add some!
I don't think the 10 gets the love it deserves. Although it does sell well
Don't mean to be "that guy" but a couple small mistakes.

How do you keep all those bottles dust free?
Scott has mad vacuuming skills…
I miss some kavalan solist whisky. It’s amazing😁.
i've had a couple samples and agree!
Heavenly overrated and over-priced
Dram Stroker it’s a matter of taste. i think its one of the better whisky’s i’ve had. They cost about €100,- so thats a fair price.
What fire suppression system do you have for that room? Love seeing your collection, makes me feel good not having as many as you do.

Hi Scott. You have a truly great collection BUT I did not see one of the most iconic sherry matured whiskies ever made - Glengoyne Teapot Dram!

I've actually met and talked to Scott and Bart and I'm fairly sure they took my comment in the spirit in which it was intended. Unlike you appear capable of.
Well done Scott, thank you for taking time and sharing👍
How long did it take you to collect it all may I ask?
pretty much the six years we've been doing the show.
@@ScotchTestDummies You guys rock, big fan of the show. Slàinte from Manchester 🍻
Nice collection Scott
thanks Jay!
Very nice collection. I am not even close to 400 bottles.
just give it some time!
Impressive Compass Box collection
How do you choose which one to drink! :)
sometimes it takes awhile but i adapt!
impressive collection...
thanks Travis.
Are you not afraid that most bottles will oxidize you after some time?
kind of an ongoing experiment! for the most part i've only had three that have severely changed and not for the good.
Wow! Nice collection, but some of ‘em getting a little low. You could have Roy stay at your house for a week and then do the best recycled review ever (but then you’d be down to 200 bottles again). Thanks for the tour.
i do need to finish some of them off, make more room
