..but I know for a fact that bourbon will keep forever unopened. Good for a year after opening.

Hmmmm. I did not know that.

So much for my idea of buying large (gals) and selling small (pints) :(
But, then, I'm not a bourbon drinker.

Your idea would still work. Just open them one gallon at a time, when you need to barter for something. That’s just 8 pints and you would have a whole year to use them for barter
