Got a few more stashed away but these are the "primos"....

Scott,
I see you put the good stuff on the second shelf from the top.
I like the locks on those.

Sure do. I for whatever reason really seem to pick up on oxidation. Don't get me wrong there are ones that I let breathe longer before I gas. Most wheaters for example.
But I wanted to be able to have as many opened as I wanted without ever having to worry about the profiles changing too drastically. It's relatively cheap (bought a case of 12).
I've been using this method for several years and the results have been great. Since using it I have never had an off bottle.
I also take it a step further and often bottle the last 4 oz into a little 4 oz glass bottle, and stick a label on it. This has only slightly helped the nagging feeling to quickly replace a finished bottle.But also good for:
- going back to for comparison
- having little treats ready to go if the need should arise
- giving to friends to sample

Bourbon always did make me feel like a Giant.
Finally assembled shelves and gave my bottles a little dignity. This is in my gun shop, thus the exposed insulation.
There are another dozen or so in the house that are open. I mean to add to this significantly this year. I will make a cabinet with locking doors for the expensive stuff.
