I am setting up a separate (non-Tiki) bar in my dining room for drinks made with gin, scotch, bourbon, whiskey or vodka and tonic/collins/club soda, etc. I was looking for information on storing liquor in decorative glass bottles, specifically in regards to the stoppers, but couldn't find anything. I have some new bottles with matching glass stoppers, but wonder if those stoppers should only be used short term (to avoid evaporation....if it occurs)? I do have some new glass stoppers that have rubber edging for a tight fit and wonder if those would be best to use?

While I was Googling this subject, I did find this great site for some history on American glass liquor bottles (mostly related to rye, gin, brandy, whiskey)...not Tiki, but interesting American history.
