Where do y’all hold all your bottles? Looking for ideas on how to store mine. My girlfriend got me an oak cart for my birthday, but it’s a little cluttered and I may want to get a full “small-ish” cabinet.

This is a vintage hors d'oeuvres cart that I bought at a thrift store for like $100. It might be time to move my third place horseshoe trophy (long story) off to make room for more bottles.

Here is my problem.

The middle shelf isn’t quite tall enough for most things. Maybe I should keep some glasses there? I’m thinking of getting a small-ish cabinet to keep things and just put my everyday drinkers or current hotness on the cart. I, too, have a small apartment, so my thirst it outpacing my space.

I have a similar problem but have managed to find enough short bottles/bitters to fill the space.
 
This was posted on CNN and I can't believe it made it past the editor as this writer clearly has no idea what a single malt is.

Either is correct, it’s an anglicised version of eifher Irish or Scots and tends to be whiskey here and whisky in Scotland.

Yes but they are talking about a specific type of whiskey, ie Scotch, so there is only 1 spelling - whisky.

It is like the Champagne Region Growers Association selling a giant magnum full of sparkling wine.

I might not be pedantic about a lot of things, but I am about booze.

Edit: and making a sour out of this would be a crime.

I bought two bottles back in 2016 when they announced it was going to be discontinued. I think they were around $150 each?

This was the last of the first bottle; I think I will be saving the second for a special occasion. Really lovely whiskey.

also, they’ve apparently started releasing it again in small quantities for a short time each year, though I haven’t seen it in my area. Hope remains that I might be able to get another bottle one day.
