$7,000,000 Whisk(e)y Collection Bottles and Bunker with Dewayne Poor 

As a poor Whisky enthusiast this video blew me away. I expected a very pretentious and snooty interview, but what I got was a down to Earth history lesson and storytelling. Superb.

Is there anything better than listening to someone speak about the things they love? Whether you care about whisk(e)y or not, it's a joy and an honor to listen to someone share stories about the things they're passionate about. Thank you Mr. Poor for welcoming us into the vault.

Dewayne is the real deal. I have tasted whisky with him multiple times and some of my friends have been to his place. You will definitely find him attending major whisky events in the Texas/Oklahoma region. He’s a disciplined collector with an excellent palate.

I tried to start a collection. I drank it.

WOW that's unreal.... That Ardbeg collection is mind-blowing.

No wonder he did well for himself. Straight shooter, tell it like it is, motivated, charismatic, and intelligent. I was hoping a little bit that I would dislike a person who collects like this, but he is the real deal and genuine to boot. That was a treat to watch.

I had the opportunity to drink a glass of Pappy 23 at my uncle's house on Christmas eve a few years ago. He waited until everyone else left and it was only him, my dad and me. They poured me a glass with 1 large ice cube inside. They taught me the "Kentucky chew". To smell it first then take a drink and hold it on your tongue. It was the best whiskey I've ever had! My dad also had a few bottles of Old Rip Van Winkle 12 year at his house we drank a few times.

Dewayne honestly seems down to earth, humble, and friendly. I'd drink a glass of anything (even water) with him, just to be able to hear stories and learn about his collection.

I could listen to Dewayne’s stories for hours 🙌🏼 A fascinating collection and insight to the wonderful world of whisky. Blown away by the history in one room. Stunning.

One of the most genuine, down to earth and knowledgeable collectors I have met! Great stuff!

“I’m not hoarding” I got a good laugh out of that.

Every minute of this video was a pure pleasure!

The way he stands is like a whiskey glass is always in hand

I’ve known Dewayne for years and to see this collection is just mind boggling 🤯

I never watch these and I got sucked right in. It was Dewayne's demeanor. So humble and honest. Thanks guys.

What's even more priceless is how Dewayne has shared incredible moments with whiskey connoisseurs and aficionados through something that was once just grains once upon a time. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!

This has made me the happiest and saddest bourbon collector ever. As a teacher this is unobtainable but so educational at the same time. I dont know if I should cry or be internally grateful. What a conundrum!

I like how he considers others who may not have the accessibility to whiskey like he does and advocates for better distribution. Very cool!

I love how joyful he looks everytime he looks when he got a chance to open a bottle and taste it

He's got that "whiskey" connoisseur physiology for sure.

This guy is a hero and to me represents the benchmark for any whiskey fan/collector. Lover of not just the bottles or the liquid but the people involved in the trade as well. I'd love to read some of the stories he has over the years.

Just wanted to tell you that this is the BEST whiskey video I have ever seen. What a great idea, what a great knowledgeable and humble man. I have always felt spirits and wine were for friends and family and I had no idea that this type of fellowship existed in the whiskey world. You guys convinced me to head to an event in the post COVID future. Thanks to you both for this

This was a treat! Mister Poor is an example of how I slate myself to be. No pretentiousness. He demonstrates why we all ought to be that way as we get to know wonderful people via networking and sharing our passions! Subscribed! :)

This is one of the coolest discussions and coolest guys in all the videos I've seen about whiskey. Dewayne is humble and awesome. I hope I get an opportunity to meet him and listen to more of his stories. 👍👍

The fact that he has that much Balvenie Tonne (including the 1 of 1) is beyond epic. Ive owned 1 Tonne and tasted 3, they are super hard to get and amazing 1 offs made each year

Randy, enjoyed this! I love his philosophy and approach of having tasted most everything he owns! I agree with him on the 60th Birthday. I opened some special bottles and had a great time sharing with people that matter!

Just now finding this. Dewayne just seems like a cool guy. Even with his, and his collection's worth, he still just seems genuine, and humble.

One Thousand and One Nights...whisky stories...the last story...Burns' Night...cigars in a peat house...I had tears in my eyes...I spent 1,5 yrs in Scotland...my the most beautiful part of my life...Mr Poor You are GREAT...Slainte to You!!!

I own a liquor store and dont have a million in inventory 🤣

Seeing the collection was cool, hearing the stories was priceless! Thank you for sharing those.

Here I am watching this video while sipping on my redbull. Love the video. Dewayne seems like such a top bloke. So humble and a genuine nice guy. Could listen to his stories all day long.

Love this one! Imagine having so much whiskey that your bottle count is estimated! Crazy! I'm also amazed by his humility and his knowledge of EVERY bottle he has!

I am an anesthetist , and work closely with perfusionists. Highly specialized and unique career. Hats off to you sir; very impressive collection!!

Wow, that is crazy and awesome at the same time. The collection, but the stories what an adventure. Great show!

I'm so happy this popped up in my feed. I'm not a collector, but I do enjoy fine whiskey and the stories and history that goes along with it. While the collection here is magnificent, the best part for me is what a wonderful person Dewayne is. He's clearly down to earth and willing to share his passion. The cherry on top was a well spoken and knowledgeable host. Subscribing!

Dewayne is so inspiring! I have watched this video numerous times now and I have started a collection of my own and I am definitely the richer for it thanks to Mr. Poor and Bourbon Real Talk! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Great episode, and amazing collection! One of my all time favorite places to have a whiskey tasting, and one of my favorite whiskey people to do it with!

Thank you for the experience! 26-year-old pall here getting inspired as I finally grew up a bit and can actually afford to drink better quality Scotch and bourbon. Gotta say though that pappy shelf looked dreamy over here cause it is impossible to find in Europe. Thanks again to you and Dewayne Poor for displaying such an elite-level collection!

What an awesome experience to get a guided tour of such an amazing collection of whiskeys

thank you so much for making this ! and thank you to dewayne ! Enjoyed every minute of this video

Incredible I could listen to this forever. Thank you!

Both gracious hosts. Only hearing a bit of Mr. Poor's stories is a treat. Hopefully a part 3

Wow Such an array of whisky collections A feast in the eye !

How wonderful, to be able to engage with someone who has been fortunate enough to pursue this passion we share to it's utmost expression. Better still is to share in a dram and recall the memories and experiences from the distilleries represented by the bottles on those shelves. Those amazing stories that bring us together as whisky (whiskey) enthusiasts.

Most people will never have the means for a hobby like this including myself. With that said, videos like this allow people to share the experience. This was a very good, passionate, and educational video. Thank you

I don’t know if it was just me, but when it was jokingly mentioned his last name being Poor, I spelled it POUR in my head and was super stoked haha

enthralling video/tour. Dewayne reminiscing his Bowmore and the connection he made with Glasstorm was wonderful ...have fun with bottle 'A' on Dewayne's 60th!

Please read this comment before posting a negative comment. I have written this as a response to recurring negative statements. 1. Having this many closed bottles is a waste: There is a difference between drinking and collecting. Whiskey drinker's often drink whiskey because they like the effects of the alcohol and possibly the flavor. Nothing wrong with that, but if that is all you think of whiskey you are going to have a hard time distinguishing between a bottle's utility as a drinkable spirit and its value as a historical documentation of a time and place. There are different levels of spirits. Some spirits I too precious to just be opened and drank casually. Since spirits do not go bad in the bottle over time, collectors provide a valuable service for future generations to be able to experience a piece of spirits' history that would have been lost to time if every bottle was opened and drank on release. If you watch the episode you see that Dewayne does open these bottles, and there is only one whiskey in his entire collection he has never tried. He is saving it for his birthday next year, but he does have a plan to open it. So don't look at Dewayne or anyone like him as someone who only enjoys owning and doesn't enjoy drinking. He drinks these whiskeys. It is true that he has too many bottles for anyone to expect he will drink them all before he leaves this earth, but that is both a valuable benefit to his family (because of the money they will bring when they are sold) and the collectors who end up buying them (because of the rare opportunity to try something from the far past). 2. Comments about Dewayne losing the entire collection in an earthquake/theft/fire/etc.: I do not know why so many people see this man's life's work and immediately think of how he could lose it all, but if you read the comments it is a very common thought. DEWAYNE DOES NOT LIVE WHERE THERE ARE LARGE EARTHQUAKES. There have been three earthquakes the bunker has withstood without loosing a drop and the collection has a separate earthquake insurance policy. The building has access controls, and alarm, the bunker entrance is hidden, the bunker locks down if the alarm goes off (locking in any would-be thieves), is strategically located near a responding police station, and the police are aware of the theft risks. The bunker was also built to be fire and tornado resistant and has a fire suppression system, and the collection is insured. 3. Alcohol is a scourge to society and no one should drink it: It is true that alcohol can be dangerous and that some people should avoid it. If you chose to abstain from drinking I support you. That said, my channel is hardly the place to preach the evils of alcohol. I educate people about all the positive benefits of responsibly enjoying whiskey. I could write an entire book about how alcohol helped form the modern world, so you are not going to convince me or my average viewer that alcohol is evil. Also, remember that having the right to tell others what to do with their bodies would make those individuals subservient to you and therefore not free willed individuals. It would also make you a narcissist, and no one wants to be a narcissist. Please understand this video was create to entertain, inspire, and educate, so tried to view in with that spirit in mind. Cheers!

Dewayne should legally change his last name to "Pour"...

What a great watch, fantastic interview, asking a question and then letting the other person answer without interrupting them especially when have so many interesting stories and are so passionate about what they are talking about, Hats off to both of you. Cheers

I saw the last one and made the comment. Thank you for filming and showing this collection. What an amazing bunker.

Such a great conversation, thanks for sharing this!

Excellent video. Very inspiring to see an enthusiast on this level. Absolutely amazing wealth of knowledge Dewayne must have. Thank you for sharing this.

What a neat guy. I love his humble passion for whisky. Life goals!

Minus the scotch, I have Absolute Envy over your collection! Cheers brother

What an amazing collection!

I really enjoyed watching this. Dewayne has had some amazing experiences in his lifetime to go along with an amazing collection.

Received a bottle of Blanton’s Single Barrel for Christmas. Now I’m collecting Bourbons. What a beautiful and informative video. Hopefully one of these days I will get to meet Dewayne Poor in our wonderful state of Oklahoma.

This guy is literally my hero. Awesome video 👍🏻

Truly an amazing collection!

I really enjoyed this tour and Dewayne's great stories. Awesome 👍

Great stuff. So nice to learn that he drinks from his collection and enjoys the whiskey for the use it was intended.

I collect memories through empty bottles.

New to your channel. This was a great quality video. I love those conversations and experiences you have when you’re enjoying a dram with friends or others who are as passionate about the spirit as we are!

Thank you for sharing this. Amazing collection.

I love whiskey and bourbon but this is INSANE!!! Wow! What a collection.

I’ve seen some impressive whisky collections but this one I can relate to as I’ve tried or owned several of the bottles that I can see on the shelf. Beautiful. 😎

I really enjoyed this and I don’t even drink but on my travels I have always got my dad a nice whiskey from airports and such. It’s super interesting to see his collection may be worth a lot more now.

Thanks to Mr Poor for his time, stories and allowing us to see part of his collection. I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around it, but I know I enjoyed it. Thank you as well Mr Smith

Wow, Dewayne is SUCH a cool guy, would love to share a few drams with him and just have him tell stories. That "priceless" Balvenie is such a cool and significant bottle, wow. The highlight to me was that Laphroaig kit at the end... what a cool thing; his generosity was rewarded with something so special. I do wish we could have seen more of his Scotch collection, because I see some real gems at a glance. Thanks for making this video!

This is so dope seeing such an amazing collection cheers!

I love watching these Whisky videos, it's never long before their cheeks start turning red.

Fabulous presentation. I've become very interested in bourbons this past year, which made your video ever more interesting. Thank you.

Extremely well done. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with Bourbon geeks like me. It always comes back to friendships, Sharing, and making memories. Thank you!!!

Damn that is insane, looks even better than the whisky vaults collection.

Great video, thank you! I was surprised you were grabbing various things from his collection... he must of granted permission prior.

If an earthquake ever hits this vault, I think I'd have a heart attack. Truly beautiful, and such an awesome man to hear speak. Loved every minute.

This is my second time watching this video in its entirety, I love watching this. Whiskey has helped me meet some awesome people, and has become a super fun hobby for me.

2 ABOSLUTE KINGS, THANKS FOR INTRODUCING US TO DWAYNE

As a new whiskey fan. I am learning so much! Fantastic video.

Very interesting video and wish I could be there to sample. My collection is worth a measly $10,000 on a good day. What an amzing collection.

What a great guy ,I could listen to him for hours so interesting and knowledgeable , Hi from the UK.

Great video! Thanks for allowing us to peek inside this amazing collection!

This was one of the most informative whiskey videos ever, I was zoning out on this collection i have a lot of great bourbon but this is beyond incredible. Has he gotten hold of the Buffalo Trace 40 year (The Last Drop).

Whether it's money, stories, or personality.. Dewayne's not poor! What a cool guy. :)

What a Great Walk through! Awesome stories

most of those bottles are irreplaceable... I would install a glass front on those shelves so that in the case of an intense earthquake, they have no way of falling off. Excellent video, gave me an appreciation for whiskey I thought I already had. So much more to my collection I need to think about. I was truly blown away by Dewayne's expertise.

I like this guy. Not because he is a collector or has expensive bottles, but because he likes scotch as much as I do. I would say though that I do not have any connections like he does nor have I been to the distilleries... yet. I have been to Scotland a couple of times and drank some expensive scotches but I want to go to the distilleries next time I am over that way.

I would love to just have his Pappy collection!😂 I’m not a big scotch fan, but my goodness I can only imagine what some of those 65-70 year olds taste like! I lol when he said the new Pappy was aged in a dill pickle barrel! The cult will still drive the price up on bad tasting Pappy though!

Happy and Blessed 60th Birthday sir. One of the best Whiskey/Whisky videos ever. Thanks for sharing!

What a fantastic interview. Dewayne seems to be the most down to earth man I have seen. Love the collection! What great stories! Wish I started appreciating bourbons and whiskeys at an earlier age!

I would walk very slowly in his bunker cuz if by accident i happen to break his expensive bottles i would have to sell my kidney.

Earthquake: im going to ruin this mans whole career

And I thought I had accomplished something when I finally collected all of the Blanton's bottles. This is beyond awe inspiring.

drooling amounts of whisky. all of these bottles are top notch and this vault will be enjoyed by many.

With a collection like that I would rather know what his day to day go to pour is. Clearly he isn't drinking his collection.

Okay, pretty cool, but he got any BLANTONS?

Wow! Such an intresting gentleman! The Whiskey collection is awesome!

lot of fun watching!

That room would be the death of me
