A peek inside
What to store in your private locker:
Lagavulin Islay single-malt Scotch whisky, 16 years old at Bar Jackalope If you can snag a bottle of the 21-year-old, you’d better lock it away. But the 16-year-old will do just fine, and it happens to be on the menu at Bar Jackalope. $86 Blanton’s The Original Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at Bar Jackalope The beautiful bottle is reason enough to covet this bourbon. But then you open it, and those first hints of caramel, cinnamon and vanilla will have you swooning. $100
Nikka Coffey grain whiskey at Steak & Whisky This is not the inexpensive stuff used to round out a blend — it’s soft and light, with a honey nose and tropical fruit finish. Try it with soda to really bring out the fruit and mint flavors. $70
