How long does your bourbon last

Mainly your everyday run of the mill stuff, the WT101, BT, EC 17, Bulliett, Jim Beam, or whatever is your poison. I prob go through a bottle a week it seems maybe two weeks at the most, having a glass a day to unwind with a smoke. I guess I just laugh because I'm really in the first year of drinking higher end bourbons and just figured the stuff would last longer, but then again I just never knew how good it actually was, used to be a big rum drinker, hardly ever touch the stuff now.

We have lots of different scotches and Irish Whiskey so I don't really track it all that close, but if we were to each drink a glass each night (which we don't) your math seems about right.

A bottle can last me a year. But I don't drink much.

I'm really starting to enjoy having Irish Mist with my cigars though. So, we'll see. But it's really not that hard to figure out. It's just like milk, OJ, soda, etc. It all depends on how much you drink.

Started having a glass or two after work each day and realized I was drinking about a bottle of week. I can't afford that and promptly stopped having nightly whiskey. Now, a bottle lasts me a month or two.

I think this is where I'm at. I just got into Bourbons but a bottle a week is getting a little pricey especially at $25 a bottle. Time to slow it down a little lol my wife will b happy too

How long my bottle of bourbon lasts depends on how many dishes I cook that require bourbon. I don't drink the stuff.

So you guys actually keep that little cork thingy and put it BACK in the bottle?

Hell, I always figgered it was pretty much like opening a beer, once it is open it is a gone doggy.

Mebbe I need to rethink my habits.
