Thanks for sharing your tragic story with us Canuck; I feel for your loss.
I inherited my liquor cabinet from my father who acquired it when in Okinawa in 1957. It is a very unique piece with intricate carvings through out. On feature I especially love is in the main “belly” of the cabinet where there is a tray like box which slides out to make the placement of liquor easier. The box also has a lid with round cut outs which secures the Scotch bottles (or other similar bottles) in place.
However, with Highland Park bottles I’ve purchased (and of which I currently have a beautiful 12 yr old bottle I plan to share with my son-in-law in a few weeks when he and my daughter travel from North Carolina to Texas for Thanksgiving) have a non-round shape; the bottle does not fit into round hole lid of the box in the my liquor cabinet. As such my fear is exactly what you had unfortunately experienced!
