What is an Infinite Bottle?

Whether you have asked yourself this question or not, I'm about to tell you what an Infinite Bottle is and why you should have one as well, if you are serious about your bourbon.

It's actually a pretty simple concept. Get yourself an empty bottle (I bought mine off Amazon instead of using an empty, because I'm a little boujee). Whenever you open a new bottle of bourbon, pour an ounce into your Infinite Bottle. 

Over time, the different bourbons will blend and create different flavor profiles that may be incredible or may be awful. You never really know. You can either let it sit until it is full, or sample it every now and then, which is what I prefer to do.

As you continue to open bottles and add to the bottle, it will never be empty, hence why it is called an Infinite Bottle.

If you know me personally, then you know that between being on call occasionally and having my daughter, I really don't drink that often. I also prefer to keep my collection of nice bottles sealed and unopened. With that being said, filling up my infinite bottle is going to always be a challenge for me. You may not have this problem though.

Here are my "Rules" for my Infinite Bottle. I only add one ounce from EVERY appropriate bottle that I open. Nothing more, nothing less. An appropriate bottle would be bourbon only. No straight ryes and nothing flavored. By flavored, I'm talking about something like Knob Creek Smoked Maple. It's a tasty pour for sure, but it isn't going into my Infinite Bottle. Finished bourbons are good to be added though.

You can keep a record of what has been added, but I never do. May not be a bad idea though, in case you create a super amazing blend that you want to replicate.

You know, a rye Infinite Bottle may be kind of cool too.
