Bourbon talk...

[MRH512]

Little off topic but, in what/how do you store/show-off your bourbons?

I had a one-of-a-kind custom bar built with locking cabinets.

Let us know how it is!

Have not cracked the top on the CASKet Strength yet. But… the Small Batch makes a delicious Old Fashioned.

The double hinged doors are really nice, will be following this project.

Update…
Decided to paint the cabinet due to shelf configuration conundrum. The color is a dark ingido blue.

Any plans for lights in the cabinet? Lights might look nice with a glass top shelf?

My buddy hasn’t come through with the King of Kentucky, yet, but he showed up with a little Birthday surprise. So fortunate to have a friend that travels around the country and does not drink.

Need to let the paint cure then install hardware. Getting closer.

I have read through this thread with great interest and now would appreciate your advice. Even after reading all of those post, I don't know where to start. I'm brand new to drinking whiskey in spite of being 68 years old. I have recently retired and no longer have the restrictions that kept me from enjoying alcohol all my adult life.

Serious question: What would you recommend as a good whiskey for a previous nondrinker to start out on?

Whiskey can't help but for Bourbon I honestly would just go grab a bottle of Woodford Reserve. Easy to find. Right in the middle. Fair priced. Great drinking bourbon straight or mixed.

Elijah Craig was my gateway to bourbon and a good place to start. It’s always solid. The last post mentioned Woodford Reserve - the Double Oaked is very smooth. You can add a little ginger ale and ice if you want to make it a bit easier to drink. Cold weather helps, as does having someone make you a really good old fashioned. Good luck and welcome to the club.

I started with Jack and Coke, which I still enjoy often. The brand that got me hooked was Basil Hayden which I thought was very smooth. Now my collection is ever growing. Welcome to the club
