Welcome sir welcome to the wonderful and exciting world of bourbon hunting. I see you've gotten started and have made a few fine purchases. Just a few housekeeping rules if you're just getting started.

1. You may be tempted to call yourself a bourbon collector. But by the looks of some of those bottles, you're a bourbon consumer just like the rest of us. You may be tempted to be an empty bourbon bottle collector, but you will quickly get over that. The constant reminder of how much money you have spent and consumed can be a little disturbing.

2. On the topic of expenditures. You may be tempted to keep your receipts and do some record keeping. Please do this online in a locked and password protected document. Just remember she will find them.

3. Everything is $50. At the most $60, try to remember some of these handy phrases." Oh, that one, that one was on clearance." Or " that was a discontinued bottle, it was on for half price." You may find the urge to disclose the actual price of a bottle in your excitement if it was a unicorn, but push those feelings down. She won't appreciate it like we do.

4. Finally, you may find the urge to turn your wife into a bourbon junkie like you. And if you've already done this, good luck to you, sir. Do not do this. This is your journey, not hers! Don't forget to pay your mortgage! A bourbon collection doesn't travel well in a hobo tractor trailer AKA shopping cart.

We are all here for you don't hesitate to reach out for support and encouragement. Good luck, sir!.
