What Happens When a Bar Has 1,000 Bottles

Right now, we are currently at a little under 1,000. I get a delivery later this week of a huge stock of Irish whiskey, which I think will tip us over 1,000. I don’t see any plans to slow down anytime soon.
I’m starting to focus on rare and vintage spirits to bulk up the collection. Since it’s a library, I do think it’s important to preserve certain pieces of history. Just yesterday, I got a bottle of Kuruizawa Japanese whisky from 1993—in my opinion one of the greatest distilleries that country’s ever seen and which no longer exists. Whatever’s left in the world, that’s it. So it’s important that we have a few pieces like that anchoring the collection, as well as older expressions of bourbon, cognac, Chartreuse, amaros, really fun vintage stuff.
