Not much to say.
I went to college with a bunch of guys from Kentucky that introduced me to it. Have been a big fan ever since. Unfortunately, like watches, the hype has grown to the point where there is too much scarcity and too much price inflation. So, finding a really good bourbon is either very hard to do or very expensive. I wish people would re-discover vodka and tequila!

WristScan - Crown & Hands GTG
Hello dear friends, Good news, the weekend starts now at WristScan and we are having a virtual GTG at the best pub in the world, The Crown & Hands ! It’s obviously the best pub in the world as it’s owned by The WristScan Pub Co. Join us for this authentic...
Ha.
I actually meant it. But the photo—a floating GShock over booze as a surreal Dali—has no takers. Fun for me though….
Wow !.. First a great theme, including stimulating poster-pics to encourage the community.. Second, your own Panerai - what a beast !..
Thank you for all your recurring efforts at WristScan, dear Capt‘n ! HAGWE & Best, hs
Sauterne, always one to enjoy …
and Foie Gras is the classic pairing, perfect with your Patek. That’s what I call a great combination ! Have you had this watch in your collection for long ?
Absolutely…
The Crown & Hands is the best virtual pub in the world ! ;-)) What are you drinking ?
This is the watch i would bring. I d love to have a Killkeny again 😊
Testing the 108MP on my Samsung phone. Came out quite nice i must say.👍 ...
That’s a cool shot on the bar …
and here’s the drink you ordered 👍 … Should I put it on your tab ;-)) ...
Good to have you joining us ! …
Good choice of beverage and your Bvlgari by Genta always hits the spot. Do you usually go for Gin ?
Cheers
A few situations at the same GTG.. maybe I changed cloth so maybe a GTG over 2 days.. With cans for the afternoon drink and talk and on the table for a long and nice GTG-dinner Best regards Hans ...
Hello Hans ! …
Good to have you joining us and I love your first shot with the vintage Omega Ranchero. The Seamaster 300 is a personal favourite. Is this a watch that you have had for many years ?
Yes
Dear Cpt , It is always a pleasure to participate I have had both SM300, the CK2913 and the 165.024 for around 14-15 years The CK2913 was bought from a forum member on this forum Hagwe Hans
Fabulous vintage Omega …
It’s even more satisfying when you have had them for many years. Do you like Scotch as a drink of choice ?
Thanks for the invite dear Captain. Almost weekend and its great to start with a amazing GTG with likeminded friends
Still Friday so i will start with a few coffees first Will be back for something stronger later this weekend 😉 ...
Hi Watchonthewrist ! …
Good to see you joining us and as The Crown & Hands is the best virtual pub in the world we have an extensive choice of coffee. If you are taking it easy at the start of our GTG on the beverage, you certainly made up for it with the watches 🤩 … See yo...
The Moser....
is not only gorgeous, but wonderfully framed. I'd expect it to be among the finalists here! Cheers, Filip
Hi Tony ! …
It’s good to have you joining us for a beer or three ;-)) …. Is that you favourite beer ? … That’s a cool shot of your watch !
Thanks! I like almost all type of beer exept sour beer.
But my favorite beer is Poppels from Sweden. ...
Beer from a very good independent brewery …
It’s not always available but worth looking for. What was your first Glashütte watch ?
My first Glashütte Original is the Senator Chronograph XL
Bought it for 12 years ago😎 ...
For all the bourbon fans out there.
I thought I would match some of my bottles of bourbon with my watches. The overhyped, but still excellent. The store picks. The classics. The independents. Not for everyone, but I love them. Always an excellent choice. The under appreciated. And the grail...
Four Roses is the closest bourbon to scotch, very oaky 👍
Elijah Craig is also great, but can't reach Blonton's barrel proof or Stagg Jr, which are the same stuff to me, just with a different name! 🧐 Those two are delicious cherry bombs!
Those two are really excellent pours.
Very hard to find these days. The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a bit easier to get, and is really quite tasty. Better than the regular Elijah Craig, and consistently good.
Not only harder to find, but also imnensly increased in price too.
But to be fair: Stsgg and Blanton's barrel proof are worth the extra money. Luckily I bought four Stagg and two of the B. at the time. 🥃🥃
Tremendous selection of Bourbon …
and matched by your watches, especially the superb Lange. Can you tell us anything more about your passion for collecting Bourbon ?
Not much to say.

It’s always interesting…
to hear the experience of others, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
After re-discovering tequila, one should discover . . .
. . . mescal . Had my first taste ever about a month ago, and ready for a second any time now. ;-)
Good choice ! …
Welcome to the Crown & Hands Mo ! The RAW Ornament looks very good, I particularly like the salmon grain dial. Very cool. Would your recommend this watch to anyone considering it ?
Absolutely it’s fantastic and super light
And most importantly the man behind it Michael holthinrichs is a super great guy
It’s good to support and buy …
From people that we have an affinity with. I have to say it looks a very tempting proposition.
Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in this time..
Team, Maybe not directly in the pub, but allow me to bend the occasion & location a bit ( more such as Drinks, Chilling & tic-tacs).. A cool shot (wih my DSA - EU) on a hot day - I‘ll stick with Aqua Minerale here.. Cup of Espresso ? A relaxing beer after...
Hello and welcome HS ! …
As The Crown & Hands is the best virtual pub in the world, we have an extensive outdoor area with beautiful views … I see you found it ;-)) and our wine selection is to your liking ! You have brought a good selection of watches with you to share with ...
No beer for me today
because I have to drive this evening. But at least I will do that with a decent watch. ...
Hi Jocke …
Thanks for joining us this weekend on WristScan. This is my favourite watch that you have. Very cool 🍻
Dégustacion live!
Absolutely drunk... Ask whatever you want about the wines... Better in a few hours! Sorry for the boring watch! ...
It was really nice!
It was a lovely evening of wine and food marriage. Food was mainly “montaditos” (tiny slices of bread with a variety of food onto them) and wines were simply the stars of the evening. RUDELES is a tiny family winery located in the Ribera del Duero area in...
Many thanks for sharing this with us …
Very interesting and I agree with you about finding small producers of wine that are passionate about the product. Northern Spain produces some excellent wine.
In the mood for stuff from Kentuckeee! 😀
A double Stagg Jr. to start with ... ... and then to the horses! I think, next Saturday, I will have a bourbon night ... 🤔 ...
Hello dear Count ! …
The shot of your Red Submariner definitely hits the spot for our theme this weekend. I always enjoy a good Rolex and bourbon combo 🥃… Cheers !
Hi Stoikos ..
I particularly like the second and third shots of your Seiko “Pogue”, very cool ! Not an easy watch to find in good condition. Have you had this one for long ?
I love that kind of history …
It’s part of the story and pleasure of a vintage watch. If only they could talk !
