I had the honor to meet Dewayne at one of his whiskey bars. What a cool cat. He poured me a dram of a single barrel on the house. I’ll always remember his generosity and hospitality.
He is just like that. Thanks for sharing.
24:40 That is lovely. You are a real man. A real man is not about violence, he is about the heart. You have so much heart. That has made me think about myself. Thank you.
The world needs more people that are as down to earth and cool as this Poor dude!
Truth 😂
Wow…just wow. If my wife complains about my collection, im just showing her these two videos.
Right! It is a weird thing but Dewayne buys so much and the collection has gone up so fast that his drinking, even of rare and expensive bottles, is more than covered by the growth in value. Essentially he drinks for free.
100%. I mean to hear his collection went up around $3 million since the last video is crazy!!! Whisky isn’t a bad investment if you can find the right bottles at the right prices!!!
Smart man.
@@beginningbourbon7385 but imagine how hard it would be to sell off the collection
One word...Envious! I would love the ability to taste that many different whiskeys. Dewayne, you sound like a very humble, respectable individual. Thank you for sharing this and allowing us to view your collection.
Thank you kindly! He is a great guy!
Just wow. Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve watched hundreds of not thousands of whiskey related videos and this one was just amazing. Dewayne’s story is truly a great one. Even though he is in Oklahoma, I won’t hold that against him. Cheers, and God Bless Texas.
Cheers!
Dewayne is a friend of mine; and he truly is as nice in person as he is in this video. Mind you, he's a lot more sober in this video. hahaha much love from Canada Brother.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Dewayne‘s story and collection in more detail. I’m pumped about the Bourbon Heads, seeing the development of the collection and venues. I’m looking forward to getting you, Wes and Dewayne all in the “speakeasy” for a pour and the creation of memories found at the bottom of a good glass of whiskey! Sláinte!
You and me both!
As bourbon enthusiasts and Licesed Therapist love your show integrating mental health from your brother and spreading the love. If you ever interested in a episode having a therapist on let me know😀.
Thanks for the support!
You just move me greatly. Thank you so much. I support what you all do in every way.
Wow, thank you
Another winner of an episode. I enjoyed the 1st part and glad you went back for part 2.
Glad you enjoyed it
This really is amazing, what a great guy. Thanks for all you guys do
Our pleasure!
Thank you Mr Poor for sharing your time and collection. Randy, you have some pretty cool friends
Whiskey has helped me meet some amazing people!
Great episode. What a great story, and a good man. He represents the best of collectors. Drink in good health my friend!
Cheers!
Awesome collection. I'm speechless! Thanks for airing the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Giving back to the community is always awesome. Amen brother.
I agree, giving back to the community is important. Is there a cause or organization that you support or would like to get involved with?
If I am not careful, I will just keep hitting the like button on these most sincere and loving comments.
My goodness who would not want to be a part of such a measure of decency.
By saying what you said about being loved ,directly hits me in the heart and I am not kidding.
Thank you so much gentlemen.
I am unable to express the respect I have for you both. These are far more important than just a “bourbon or whiskey review “
Thank you Mike. I would encourage you to get more involved with the movement by joining facebook.com/groups/bourbonrealtalkcommunity.
That is an unreal collection. TBH always hated that my favorite things (cigars, bourbon, vintages) are skyrocketing in value but like the way Dewayne put it.. I can't lay bottles like he does but I sure do appreciate what he has done and his dedication shows... Magnificent work
I love that perspective. Thank you for watching!
Two things I collected pre-Covid pandemic were watches & wines (whiskies & spirits). Whilst my friends & work colleagues were buying shares & crypto, they told me I was wasting my money. Although the watch market has come down, I'm still 30% in profit & all my wines have also increased in value. Meanwhile my critics aren't able to sell their shares or crypto now they're at a 70% loss. They can't wear, drink or enjoy their digital investment either. Cheers to them!
@@oysterman962 😂😂😂. I love this!
Since he's running out of room...I could help finish off some open bottles! What an amazing story and man! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great episode. Excited about the Bourbon Heads and look forward to the follow up on it. Thanks
It comes out on Friday!
Great episode Randy! I hope everyone in the community has an opportunity at some point to meet Dewayne themselves and see what a genuine and generous person he is. I met him and the local bourbon/whiskey communities I’m now involved in because of your first episode in the bunker. Thank you!
He is great! Glad we were able to get you involved in a good community!
That is also what got me into the OBC group and meeting people such as yourself!
@@BoTillman46480 Wow! I will be coming up in the next month or so to host a The Prideful Goat tasting.
@@BourbonRealTalk looking forward to that Randy!
Awesome video with a beautiful collection!!! Always a pleasure watching Randy!!! Cheers!!!
Thank you kindly
You absolutely have just won my heart love to you all. I am sure I don’t speak alone when I wish you all of the best.
Thank you! I do enjoy it when people say it back!
Wow. Both of you guys are just amazing people. So glad you got together with him and so glad he was so generous to show all of us his collection. The message you guys spread is just amazing. Keep it up man!
Thank you! It is nice for someone to see this and show appreciation instead of complaining.
@@BourbonRealTalk This is the first video I've seen of the channel, and first time hearin about most of this stuff and the way it's laid out is wonderful to watch man. Keep doing your thing, extremely happy you got to see my message as well
Hi guys I've got n 3.75l whisky that I would like to sell its n collect Grand de lux old purr 12year I've had it for 32 years any body intrested?
Why an excellent video. This made me smile! I am also looking forward to this business endeavor! Thank you for this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been drinking and collecting Bourbon for a few years now. I had heard of your videos but just watched this one. My heart goes out to you on the loss of your brother. My brother committed suicide 3 months ago so I know the pain. He was a bartender and therefore had gotten me into Whiskey and my love of it has grown from there. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks.
I am so sorry to hear that. If you ever need to talk email me randy@bourbonrealtalk.com.
@@BourbonRealTalk thats really nice of you.
so lucky to be able to see such a nice collection. Really appreciate the content that you've created for us "whiskey" snobs!!! love it !!!!
Our pleasure!
First video of yours I have seen. Thank you for producing the content you do. God bless you and your family. I do plan on becoming a member eventually.
We thank you for the support!
Love the video! keep up the good work with the channel! one of my favorite!!:)
Thank you!
Bam!!!! Officially on the Bourbon Heads waiting list. Pummmmmped!!!
Me too!
He does exactly what i do, i buy 3 or more bottles, consume one and save the rest for a rainy day if it becomes valuable in the long run so be it. I see alot of the items he has are wonderful and some serious eye candy,
It is a plan that works if you have the cash.
Wow to the collection! Wow to the BRTC story! 👍
Wish we could learn more about his Japanese whisky collection too…
I am sure he has some but I don't know how much.
What a nice guy. So down to earth. I just started collecting Whisky myself and i would be more than happy iff i ever reach 1% of his collection. Amazing collection and amazing videos. Thank you guys. You rock
Thank you for the kind words and support! It's always great to connect with fellow whisky enthusiasts. Do you have any favorite whiskies in your collection or any recommendations for us to try?
@@BourbonRealTalk i have some pretty good Japanese Whisky like Nikka Taketsuru 17yo and kioke suntory 1981 24yo. I started with talisker and glenfiddich 12 and 15… but they didn't survive🤣
@@DjDabbe1 I have not tried many of the high age Japanese whiskys. I have had Yam18 and I own a Yam12 and Hakushu 12, but I don't collect many so I can focus my resources on American whiskey.
I rarely watch a video to the very end because... Ya know... Life! But this video was perfect from start to finish, just like a good whiskey. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG...Another spiritual feast when it comes to whiskey ... yesterday an episode on 7 million collection ... today 10 million ... it's a pity that I came across whiskey relatively late in my life ... but it's never too late to to start ... Mr Poor is a combination of Charles MacLean and Richard Paterson in one with a huge load of modesty and personal warmth and a huge passion ... sometimes I meet such people at whiskey festivals in Poland ... I'm glad I found these two episodes by accident online. I think I'll check them a few more times ... Slainte ... or Na zdrowie (in Polish). THX for this episode!!!
I love your energy! Thank you for watching.
Very sorry about your bro, you are doing great work, really appreciate your positivity, it is badly needed, so thank you 👍😀
I appreciate that!
Nice boxes, nice botthels, nice flavours and a humble man!
Great video! This is what hard work looks like. Good for this man.
I love that attitude
Great video! Thanks to both of you. Fun to hear and see about bottles that may be long forgotten if not for guys like this, even better from a hard working, generous man like this.
Love the spirit of this comment! Cheers!
EXACTLY!!! You put in the time to find and then your money to buy that bottle. You decide when’s the best time to open it. If others cry about it then so be it, but it’s your bottle to do as you wish with it.
You could ask another person to split the cost of a bottle. Pour half into a suitable vessel and pass the half bottle.
Gratuluje 👏👏👏 Imponująca kolekcja . Należą się ukłony .
Serdecznie pozdrawiam ✌️
Pokochaj pozytywne nastawienie. Twoje zdrowie!
Casually drops into the conversation that he bought a whole casknof Springbank! Legend 💪
It was great too!
I like you guys making the point of "just because it isnt open now, doesnt mean im against opening it in the future" i like opening about 10 bottles at a time and focusing on those at a time. I dont need to have every bottle i have open. It doesnt mean im selling them either. Let people enjoy their whiskey their own way.
Have we ever disagreed? I love everything you say 😂
@@BourbonRealTalk not that im aware of. Maybe palate wise but that doesnt really mean anything
Beautiful message at the end! Sorry for your loss
Thank you!
I'll take whatever you don't need from the overflow buddy! hahaha I love this. I just got into whiskey last year and am loving the community!
Welcome to the whiskey world!
Got 81 bottles of Johnnie Walker. Been collecting for Years .This is the way to make some good money .Getting rid of it next year .Hawaii here we come.
Greetings from Glasgow Scotland. SLANJ.
There are more gains to be had when the bottle you want to sell is no longer available on the shelf, but thank you for watching.
Awesome collection - I always have great intentions to buy nice bottles and preserve them but …. I seem to always open and enjoy them with friends. Oh well maybe one day…
That is great!
Never Knew there was a channel for this, it popped up on my screen and had to watch it, I do not drink much whisky or bourbon any more but I love to see all the bottles and the vaule each have
would love to one day grow a collection and drink on rare ocations
Glad you stumbled upon the channel!
I immediately reserved a spot on the NFT! Look forward to meeting this Poor gentleman. A quick private flight from Texas to swing by the club sounds like a joy worth cherishing. Whiskey does bring people together, and spreads copious amounts of love. Cheers while I sip my Laphroiag
Love the attitude! Cheers!
God. I would absolutely love to be able to just walk through and see his collection in person. This man is Living the dream, I hope to have my collection get to a point even remotely as remarkable as his.
It is awe inspiring to be in the vault.
That ending was powerful. Great job. On the wait list!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Randy, thank you for sharing Dewayne's absolutely stunning whiskey collection, in fact I'm not too proud to say I squealed like a little girl when you showed his Dalmore assortment. Being one of my all time favourite distilleries it's really cool to see the rare bottles "in the flesh" so to speak. I was saddened when they changed the formula for their whisky, which used to have a wonderful warm Mandarin Orange scent and taste, and that taste will always remind me of two things, Christmas, and my late Wife who every year bought me a bottle of Dalmore 12 or Cigar Malt for every one of the 17yrs we were together.
I'm interested to know if Canadians will be available to participate in Bourbon Heads when it become available? I think it's a fantastic concept from an extremely knowledgeable collector. I'd like to say "Thank-you" to Dewayne also, for collecting all those wonderful bottles, that contain more than a delicious liquid, to a lot of people they represent a time and place of importance, a celebration or a hard fought win, it's a place that's special or a feeling from the heart. It's history in a bottle, a day of victory or even a spectacular season or year!. Whiskey is powerful, it can pull people together like no other beverage, it can create friendships, partners and wealth. It is, and will remain a reminder of love to me, and of beautiful times spent with my amazing better half (a whiskey drinker in her own right). Slàinte Mhath!, Is e uisge beatha (Whisky is life) Cheers! - Dave
I am pretty sure anyone could buy a token, but I do not think there are any plans to have bourbon heads locations outside of the US. You likely would only be able to use it when you travel to the US. I sent your comment to Dewayne to see your kind words, and if he says otherwise on the Canada locations I will let you know.
@@BourbonRealTalk Thanks Randy!
Dewayne confirmed. You could buy but locations outside of the US are unlikely.
@@BourbonRealTalk That's fair, thanks for asking, and please thank Dewayne for the reply!
Right on Love your Content and yes Since I live here in CA Where the Earth is Always Moving, I feet the Next Set in Securing your Amazing Collection Would be in Order.A beautiful Custom Leather Strap, Making it Easy to Access Any Bottle but they can't get Launched in a Earth Movement or Tornado. Never Stop Collecting was Brings you JOY, God Bless.. Ben
I typically detest whiskey collectors, as most of them don’t actually drink the whiskey. But Dewayne clearly drinks every bottle and appreciates the art of whiskey production! Love this guy!
So glad to see someone who gets the role Dewayne is playing in the whiskey world.
I love Balvenie 14 and they’re talking about the Balvenie 30’s. There’s a store near me with a Balvenie 40 that’s listed for $7200!
I have had a The Balvenie 30 year. It was really early on in my whiskey journey, but I still remember it.
Thanks for doing this again. Just a cool dude
You bet
I think the hardest part would be what to decide to open when having guests. Great vid!
When you have hundreds of open bottles, there is always plenty to choose from.
Great video really enjoyed the history 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
That was so good! New Zealand has set about making some nice whiskey's - wonder if Dewayne has any in his collection
Not that I know of. I'll have to put the word out and see if anyone I know has one I can taste at the next tasting.
@@BourbonRealTalk Oamaruvian is top notch! I believe these guys bought 400 old barrels for their new blend but didn't realise the barrels had old, old whiskey in - so they blended the best of both, Beautiful stuff!
I get a lil excited every time I see a bottle I’ve had or tried before on his shelves😂
What a fantastic guy. Genuinely old school connoisseur who also decided to make money from flipping bottles. I’m a fan of his kind. He is knowledgeable person and down to earth. A true Whisky Anorak.
Love this perspective!
Awesome stuff, thank you
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed the interview with Dewayne. It seems he is a scotch fan first. When I was 15 yo my best friend turned 16 an got his drivers license. Saturday night we were hanging out in front of a liquor store. Got someone to buy us a bottle. It turned out to be a bottle of Johnnie walker. We drove to the roller rink. We were 15 an16 years old. We chugged that bottle down in about 10 min.then we got out of the car, and I regurgitated 1/2 of a qt. Of scotch on my shoes. That was 55 yrs ago. And to this day I have never drank a drop of scotch. I can smell it from across the room if someone opens a bottle. But I luv good burbon. Now that I’m retired,I can really enjoy it.
Sounds like scotch made a lasting impression on your 🤣 Thanks for watching.
Love the videos! But may I suggest investing in a microphone for better sound? Keep up the great job! 😃❤️
Thank you! Will do!
Amazing collection, Caol Isla 30, a dream bottle!
Thanks for watching!
Wait!?! The way Randy looks at the camera after he compliments Wes on his women T-shirt. I’m in tears.
I have seen that commercial I don't know how many times, and I still watch it every time because it cracks me up.
Once I had 20 bottles and I was drinking everyday for 3 months IM HAPPY I DONT SOEND A LOT
What an amazing collection. I wonder how many bottles (good and bad) that he has tasted in his life time?
That is an interesting question. I doubt Dewayne could give an answer that was not wild speculation. I couldn't even begin to guess, and Dewayne has been collecting/drinking a lot longer than I have.
I signed up for the waiting list. But it didn't say where the Bourbon heat sit would be. You said maybe Louisville?
The locations have not been identified yet. Very early stages.
You are a amazing guy and I am sorry for your loss. I just joined the bourbon community. I am interest in joining bourbon heads, how do I go about it? Thanks

What I love about people from the Great Plains , great humility, and many times come from humble beginnings and live to do great things! Cheers to this guy!
Well said!
Outstanding!
Thank you! Cheers!
Is whiskey like wine, should it be kept on its side to keep the cork moist?
Appreciate the love.
Jesus loves us all!
Nice guys🙏❤️✝️
Cheers!
I have about 100 unopened bottles of bourbon and scotch, and I think I’m the $hit. Saw this guys whiskey bunker and instantly felt like a little peon. Great bottles and awesome bunker.
Heck no! 100 bottles is legit!
That's an amazing place he created there. 👍
Yes it was!
Great show. Prefer not hearing negative comments left by others. This gentleman collector is allowing us into his private collection, to deliver an insult under his roof seems unkind.
Me too. I hate that people enjoy trolling more than connection. Thank you for watching!
Very cool. Would like to know how to sell legally old bottles from one collector to someone without a third party.
Technically you can not legally. If you have bottles to sell and you feel uncomfortable technically breaking a law that isn't enforced, call www.revivalky.com/ and talk to Brad.
How often do you clean the bottles and with so many bottles in both bunkers how do you get them cleaned?
Dust is desirable on old bottles. We call them "dusties".
How can you not like this guy.
Plus the only NFT that makes sense.
That is funny. So many people who lost money on NFTs saw this and vowed to never watch my podcast again. I was like, Bro...I didn't make the NFT, I just told you about it. You don't have to buy one. Plus, did you even pay attention, this NFT is tangible asset backed. Not at all like the wild speculative NFTs that are out there. Thank you for the positive feedback.
@@BourbonRealTalk yeah I’d view it more like a country club membership you could eventually sell for higher value. Dewayne seems passionate enough about it to make it credible as well. I can’t stand NFTs but this actually makes sense.
Did he have a old pulteney 21 in his collection??
Fabulous whiskey and now quite rare!
I don't remember hearing about that one, but there are so many bottles it is unlikely I would have noticed that one. I am unfamiliar with the brand.
@@BourbonRealTalk Try and get hold of one you won’t regret it👍
The ad was actually good 😂
I watch it every time it is so funny.
Cheers from another fellow Oklahoman
He is so chill.....but he loves talking about the product more than the value
That is an astute observation. He is very interested in the flavor and the experience...not just the money.
Bourbon Heads sounds awesome and similar to Whiskey House Nashville!
Not a non profit. Should be like WHN but in 20-30 locations.
@@BourbonRealTalk colored me interested...now just to convert my 401k for crypto
@@OakvilleKGB Next weeks episode will clear it up. They will have a cash to crypto tool on the website.
Thanks for sharing this amazing collection! Salud, gentlemen!
Salud!
A question that might already have been asked... What, if anything, do you do to preserve the opened bottles if you have so many at the same time? Seen lots of arguments about using inert gas vs just leaving them open so was curious
The problem with open bottles is UV light damage and evaporative loss of ethanol. Despite what everyone says whiskey is not very chemically reactive with oxygen. I am doing a study where we did various things to damage whiskey for 2 years and we also tested argon gas as a preservative. We have not released it yet. In short, open bottles changing is a very slow process if you keep your bottles in an air conditioned space, have good corks, and prevent direct exposure to sunlight. When it does change it is subtle, so most of the big whiskey people just don't worry about it.
@@BourbonRealTalk Thanks for your reply, that sounds like a pretty interesting study - I'll keep an eye for it once you've released it.
we often use parafilm tape to 'seal' 'up the bottle once we're done drinking, esp for the expensive bottles. seems to work well.
That collection is amazing and Mr. Poor seems like a very smart guy to do business with.
He is very humble and approachable. Salt of the earth!
As a new enthusiast of collecting scotch and bourbon, more scotch though I have a serious question of getting in contact either yourself or Mr.Poor. I have roughly 300 hundred bottles; 10 bottles of vintage Macallan 18, 10yr and 12yr 90s-2017,glendronach 90s-2022
And much more. I'd need some insight on auctions and or talks for trade. !! Thanks
Email me at randy@bourbonrealtalk.com
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
What’s some of his cheapest but good bottles??? Love the Chanel
That is a good question for when I interview him next.
Wow what an outro 🥰
Thank you!
So over all those fancy bottles does he have anything like an OGD114? Really cool collection.
Dewayne is mostly a scotch drinker, so when he buys a basic bottle it is likely a scotch. Most of his bourbons are pretty high end.
@@BourbonRealTalk right on just kind of wondering if there was anything low end that he liked.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
He seems like a hell of a guy nice episode
He really is!
Read several articles about NFTs being Bullshit .. Great chanel and episode .
An NFT is just a technical way to track ownership of something. Most NFT's are documented ownership of something that is of intangible worth like art. This would be fractional ownership of an underlying asset with traceable market value, so not exactly the same as buying a piece of art.
Dewayne is a very successful guy who got to where he is through hard work. Now he needs to set his focus on physical fitness.
He has started getting in shape. He has made some recent life changes.
@@BourbonRealTalk That's awesome to hear! I hope him the best of luck!
Wow. so these bottles are not being retailed anymore? And is there a consumption expiration date for whiskey?
Most if not all the producers are still in business, but what Dewayne collects are generally limited releases, so technically not being retailed anymore since they only do them once. There is no expiration date on spirits. They change very slowly over time in the bottle, but never become undrinkable if stored out of direct sunlight and in an air conditioned environment.
Once opened life expectancy and taste can change.
I have 2 old bottles from the 90s a 12 year old and a 10 year vintage
old charter
Is there a place to trade for different bottles?
