Gryph,

I like the cabinet not the whiskey inside. I saw a version of a cabinet similar without some of the extras, ie bottles and glasses - at a price without all the zeros behind it. Need to find the site again.

I got some of the details off a website which prices the individual components to see what the above two offerings would actually add up to.

The price on the "box" in your link is "discounted" at only A$10,000 each! Oops the price is per bottle, guess you get "half" a "gun case" then.
