A real life whisky cabinet

You need a large wood-panelled room and a grand piano to go with that ;)

Personally, mine are split between under a kitchen chair and next to the sofa in the lounge. Only the Young Uigeadail (what's left of it) sits on the highest shelf...

I have my daily drams in a cabinet next to my desk in the living room, but the special bottles are on display in my study. My my wife and I are currently renovating and she recently came up with the idea to have a large floor to ceiling cabinet in the living room with glass doors and lights to display the bottles. It took me about 0,2 nanoseconds to agree.

@scribe What is the Young Uigeadail like?

@Porrohman Creative use of space, I like it.

@LeFrog Kind of like a festival in a bottle. I've got about a dram left - I haven't done tasting notes for it yet, but at the same time I can't bring myself to finish it... In fact, I don't think I've opened it in about 2 years...

my wife bought me a barristers bookcase for christmas.. it holds the whiskies, the glassware and various books

For now, its the little cabinet above the fridge where all of our liquor is stored. In the hopeful anticipation (much like a hungry kid at a grocery store, my eyes are currently bigger than my wallet) of growing my collection in 2011, I am looking to move stuff to another kitchen cabinet that has triangular shaped shelving.

This shelving creates a lot of dead space behind our dinner plates where a modest whisky collection can be kept.

All of mine are currently behind the door to my bedroom beside a bookshelf. I just moved and I haven't found an appropriate place to put them yet, but where they are now most definitely does not do them justice. I've been trying to find a little wooden cabinet or even bookshelf with doors that close for my whisky cabinet but no such luck.

I keep the bulk of mine on a bookshelf in my room, the ones I don't have room to display are kept in an unused cabinet underneath my entertainment center.

We are low budget, and in a small house. My drinks cabinet is a cardboard box in the closet. And people say Australians have no class...

A year or so ago, I commandeered my wife's china cabinet and transformed it into our "liquor cabinet"; it looks nice lit up at night, very inviting...

Since my collection is starting to dominate both the pantry shelf where I keep the rest of my liquor, and the counter space in my kitchen, the wife readily agreed to a piece of furniture that would do it justice...

Ordered this piece from Ethan Allen last month: ethanallen.com/product/…#

Hard to believe that I'm now the kind of guy that has to buy furniture to display his trophies... Should arrive in May. Can't wait...

@AlanR I checked your cabinet out and boy what a cabinet that is. It looks great.

@michaelschout Thank you, Sir. If all goes according to plan, I'm going to move into a new house later this year. I have grand plans to pair that with a couple of wing back chairs, in a library-esque room. If I can figure out a good way to ventilate the room, there will be a humidor as well. All my vices together in one place.
