For 2018, I've purchased about 12 bottles of liquor @ 8 Liters for $404 (albeit $65 was estimated due to Johnnie Walker Blue being a gift). That roughly equates to about 1 bottle per month, which is about on point. I increased my bourbon percentage to 33% of total consumption to help expand my horizons. In general, I found them a little too sweet and it tends to overpower and alter the taste experience that I'm more used to with scotch whisky. But after having tasted bourbon on a regular basis, I'm finding that I need to have a bottle on hand to enjoy a dram every so often between whisky pours. House of Johnnie I already knew that I lean heavily towards Johnnie Walker and 1/4 of my total consumption this year was in Johnnie Walker Red & Black. Those are my go to favorites, but I'm finding Monkey Shoulder and Jameson are worthy alternatives. 2019 Future I'm going to continue my 1:2 ratio of bourbon to scotch and continue to sample other brands.
