The full bottles are actually a hazard.

If someone breaks into your house they might take them for the booze.

They add 3 lbs for every bottle to your shelf.

They explode and burn in a fire.

Although most Beam bottles are over seven years old, they can become leakers usually up to seven years.

The only good thing about full bottles, The booze is worth more than the bottle in most cases.

The above are just my opinions from having collected bottles for over 30 years and being very involved in The Jim Beam Bottle Club
