Someone asked how to do this...this is what I sent him:
If you want lights you are going to need a false wall. To accomplish this I recommend you use 3" screws to secure 2'X4"s to each stud on the outside of the sheetrock. This gives you something to attach the false wall to and a way to hide your extension cords for the lights. I measured my wall and my tallest bottles and determined that I could fit 6 shelves with 15" of clearance and had my pipes cut accordingly.
In retrospect I should have used precut 12" pipes instead of having the riser pipes cut 11.75". I could have just tightened them down some and saved some poor kid at home depot an 8 hour shift of cutting pipes. Buy all your pipes and couplings and put at least one together on the floor at home depot so you know you have all the right pieces. I used about .75 cans of metallic spray paint for each 8' length of piping including all the connecting parts. Ended up using just over 3 cans for 4 pipe sets. To paint the parts I took a scrap piece of 2"X12" and screwed in a bunch of 3' screws spaced apart. I would then attach a fitting to one end of a pipe, paint it, and put the open end down on the screw (which is sticking out of the board) to hold it up so it could dry without touching any of the exposed edges. Warning: I had to put all the pipes in a degreaser before I painted them so the paint would stick, didn't wear cloves, and it dried my hands out bad.
You will need cedar fence pickets to do the false wall. Just buy the amount you need an add 30% for pieces that are too warped and to account for drop off. Do yourself a favor and run every board through a table saw to make sure they are straight and all the exact same width. If you don't there will be little gaps in your back wall that you can see through when you are done (I have this and it drives me nuts). I bought prestained. Pick 2 other colors of stain and stain 1/3rd one color and 1/3rd the other, and leave 1/3 the original prestained color. If they have them save a little money by buying 1/3 stained and 2/3rds unstained. My store was out of unstained so I bought all stained and stained over the top. Now you should have 3 colors. Split each pile in half and lay 1/2 of each 1/3rd out. Get some light paint (white, light grey, doesn't really matter) and water it down. Then paint the 1/2 of the boards you have laid out. Just remember that the paint is supposed to create an opaque look and not cover up the stain. Now you have all your boards in 6 colors.
You will need 2"X12" pine lumber for the shelves. Stain them a color of your choosing, wax them for protection, rout a 1/2" wide slot about 1/8" deep from end to end to recess the light strips into, stain but do not wax the ends of the freshly routed edge where the light strip won't go so you do not see exposed wood on the higher shelves, and cut an arched deeper but narrower groove to turn the wire into the wall. This groove must light up with the gap in the wall you plan to have your power in.
You will need to sync all the light strips to one remote. The instructions are online and very easy. As you do this you will have a strong urge to test out all the settings. DO NOT DO THIS. The lights are on a sequence so if you have 2 light strips synced to one remote and you hit any button but on and off and you change the sequence, and any lights you change the sequence on will never be on sequence with the other light strips that were not on when you changed the sequence. Do not test the settings of the lights until all the light strips are working on one remote and turn on and off at the same time...then go nuts.
Now attach your studs to the wall, run your extension cords to the end where your lights will attach, and install your first few rows of pallet wall up to at least the height of the first shelf that will have lights (the one closest to the ground won't). Attach your base of the metal pipe for the first shelve, install the first shelve, then add the riser component to the second shelf (using a small level to identify that the shelve support is level), bring in the second shelf, install the track light, cut the whole in the wall where needed to pass it through the wall so it is hidden behind the shelve. Work your way up until you get to the top. Hope this helps!
Not sure how your not the #1 whiskey channel on CZcams. That send off gets me every time 😭 The fact that you take time to tell the same story at the end of every video shows how genuine you really are. Love you guys! Salud🥃
Not sure I deserve all that praise but I promise you it is much appreciated! Cheers!
Wow, what a collection. I have just recently started to invest into my newly formed whiskey collection, only 8 bottles, lol. Which is how I came across your channel. There’s a few things that I really like about your channel compared to the few others I’ve watched: 1. Your authenticity really comes through well in your videos. 2. The fact that you’re upfront on why you don’t have sponsors for the channel. I’m not sure some people may realize/appreciate how much more that legitimizes your opinions & recommendations. 3. You include your wife & not exclude her, & she seems supportive of your passion. 4. By you explaining why you sign off your videos the way you do, shows that you have a genuine compassion for people. I’ve taken up enough of your time. Thanks for sharing the video, & as always be strong & courageous in all that you do.
I mean...I try not to cuss in the comments, but holy shit! Thank you, and I love you!
Beautiful work on the shelf. I bet it lights like a torch at night! Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
It is very peaceful. I work in here now!
Great collection. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your story at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the wall. Wonderful craftsmanship. And you spoke about our FAVORITE bottle again. 2017 GTS is absolutely THE BEST bourbon I have ever tasted. Always trying to acquire more bottles when they present themselves.
Me too! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Great job on the wall. Looks amazing. You know you will soon start wrapping the other 3 walls. It's bound to happen. Soon I will be finishing my basement bar and I can't wait to put my bottles out. One day... It must feel great to sit back and stare at the wall. Congrats.
It is soooo relaxing! I put on chill radio and just relax!
Love seeing your setup. We're currently building a house and this gave me some great ideas. Great video!
Awesome! Congrats on the new house!
Love the Real Talk, keep them coming!
Will do! Cheers!
Very nice wall guys! Looks like a great collection! Absolutely love your channel!
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching!
That's a ton of dedication for an old rip lol. I got one for 110 last year from a store I support. Love the collection and room. Beautiful setup
Thanks for watching!
Great job on the wall! Very entertaining video. Cheers to the both of you for impacting the whiskey community the way you do.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BourbonRealTalk Can we get Lindsay's top 5 whiskeys in an episode? She dumped on one of your bottles in the video so I am curious to see what she gravitates towards. Nice collection and best of luck down the road...cheers!
@@rickl2633 I don't think she has a top 5. It would really just be AE Rye and then it would get fuzzy from there.
The new wall and shelving looks great as the collection. I think my favorite piece is that sign right in the middle, such a great name!
Thanks so much!
100 comments on the wall.
One more to mark them all.
What a wild and wonderful place to be,
to share a Turkey with the like of thee.
Long time viewer, first time commenter. I saw the opportunity to be the 101st commenter and could not resist. Love your content and thanks for sharing your beautiful collection!
Thank you! I read this to Lindsey. We both really appreciate it.
Thanks! This is really cool to see what my sized collection would look on a whole wall like that. Mine are packed TIGHT in a small storage room.
I am up to 665 😬
@@BourbonRealTalk Wow! Thats incredible! Thanks for all your content and sharing your whisky knowledge. 😊
Nice job on your collection. Appreciate that it is more realistic in turns of pricing, availability and like you said its more the "experience than the flavor". Would like to have heard your wife's picks also. Cheers!
Lindsey only has one "favorite" whiskey, and it is Angel's Envy Rye.
Awesome video Randy. I love your message and drive behind the videos.
I appreciate that!
I love the Bob Ross “Happy Accident” bottle however I would like a bottle of “Brooklyn’s Finest.” 👍🏽. Keep up the great job and I’m real glad I’ve supported the channel.
That was our club pick from Widow Jane. It was in pretty high demand, so I was not allowed to buy as many as I would have wanted.
I have to say...I'm hooked...you both are AWESOME... I'm gonna raise my bourbon high for ya Dude and Dudette.. from North Attleboro Massachusetts...Life Rules
Cheers to you as well my friend! Thank you for supporting the channel!
I'm sorry to hear about your brother. big fan of the wall!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing and being awesome!
Not sure we are awesome, but I will take it!
Great video!! Entertaining for whiskey lovers. 🥃🥃
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nothing like supportive wives that gets on board with our crazy hobbies lol cheers🥃
You got that right! Cheers!
Great video... love it. Watching this video and I was drinking a Wild Turkey Rye. 🥃🥃
Love that! Cheers!
In case anyone out there is wondering about the Bourbon Real Talk Wee Glens, I have both the BRT and the official Wee Glen and I prefer the slightly larger size of the BRT glass.
The official glass is more of shot glass while the BRT glasses are now my very favorite nosing glasses.
Of course the quality of service from Lindsey and Randy is exactly what you would expect, I could not recommend them and their products more.
Thank you! Honestly I asked Lindsey to have them designed because other glasses seemed to either be too large or the opening was too small to nose.
Great channel. Love the positivity! Can you do a Texas Whiskey review? Your favorites from the state?
I love a lot of TX whiskey.
Ironroot, Balcones, Lone Elm, Garrison, Pflugerville, Andolusia, Still Austin, just to name a few.
Here are some links to pieces I have done on TX whiskey:

This episode inspired my shelves. I had to build something portable as we know we will be moving in a few years.
My wall could be removed, but I dread the thought of it.
Love your collection…wow. ! You have great taste in whiskeys and woman. 👍. Cheers from 🇦🇺 keep up the good work
Thank you! It is hard to get Lindsey on the show, so when people say nice things I always show her.
@@BourbonRealTalk your a luck man. Half your luck. 😎👍🇦🇺
I have a couple of the Wee Glasses and I love them!
So glad! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Cachaca! I got really into world spirits a few years back. Too bad you don't have the same admiration for Baijiu as I do. Most admirable part of this is that it's not all BTAC or $100+ bottles as your go-to dailies. Personally, I could drink Mellow Corn all day. Also, love the fact you're not into overpaying on secondary. That a $500 bottle of RedBreast 27 is your most expensive is shocking for someone with your clout. Randy - the man's man. 🥃🤘
In truth I have bought some more expensive bottles on secondary. I have a WLW I paid $600 for, and I used to buy GTS for $400 all the time. I once traded a WLW I paid $650 and a GTS I paid $400 for a PVW15 year, so the most cash I have every invested in a bottle was $1,050, but I do not have either of those bottles now so the most expensive I have is the RB27.
@@BourbonRealTalk just shocking to me that you don't have many more bottles that you've paid out more for. Personally I'm more impressed by variety rather than someone having a highly allocated bottle as a daily drinker and a collection of 10 PVW23 bottles and not much else. I just left a NC ABC store and let me tell you the way the "shortage" is working out here Kentucky Tavern is getting close to being allocated! It's been moved up one shelf from the bottom in order to fill empty space. Regular Ancient Age is now mid-shelfer 🤣🤣
@@alanpawlowski1202 Wow! That is crazy. I won't panic until I can't find WT 101:-)
@@BourbonRealTalk I say allocated facetiously of course. The other parts not so much. Have seen Rare Breed twice in the last two months. WT101 has been out for a few weeks. No regular Jim or Jack for over 3 weeks!
@@alanpawlowski1202 always find that amazing. I can get both here in the UK on Amazon.
Great Video guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome job and you should be so proud!
Thank you! Cheers!
Is that angels I hear singing in the background? 😎 That's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!
Not sure what you are referring to, but I am happy you are happy 😂
@@BourbonRealTalk it was such a beautiful sight, angels came down from heaven to sing, lol! Guess I didn't land that joke. Incredible collection sir!
Looks amazing. Would like to know the details on how to build that. I want to build a smaller version in my office.

Love the collection, shelves and how it's organized. One question: What size black pipe did you use? (1/2 or 3/4")
3/4"

Wow! That is some collection! Thanks for watching!
Very nice collection. I see that Black Whiskey bottle on the bottom right corner. You planning on doing a video on it?
We might be doing something with them in the future. Things are still up in the air. Since they use the "black" corn it tastes a little like my favorite TX bourbon...Ironroot!
this was an awesome episode
Thank you! And thank you for supporting the channel!
WOW!!!!!! First time watching your video and I’m 🪝 I live in South Carolina and I was wondering how can I get the prideful goat?
TPG is going to be distributed in 10 states starting with the next drop, but SC isn't one of them...yet! We will continue to grow the brand so we will make it to SC eventually.
amazing collection!!!!!
Thanks for visiting
If anyone is curious about the Bob Ross Barrell Bourbon store pick you can get it at AJ Liquor Plano...
It is a great pour. If you are able to swing by you should check it out.
Nice content! I have about 50 bottles now and most are open and half full. How long will these bottles last? Do I need to drink them quickly or will they last a while...I always seem to get mixed suggestions...what has been your experience?
We are doing a podcast on this. The short answer is you really don't need to worry about it unless it is going to be a very long time. No one seems to know that whiskey is not reactive with oxygen. It just lacks the chemical compounds to react with oxygen. It does change, it is very very very slow, it is likely due to evaporation of ethanol and dissolved CO2 changing PH, UV rays are also bad (oxygen is involved in that chemical reaction), the change does not take it from good to bad (just different), who is to say if the change is bad or good (everyone's palate is different), and the whiskey will never become dangerous to drink. So open what you want and drink at the pace you want.
And I swear to God if someone comes on here and replies to this comment that they can taste the difference I will ban you from the channel 😂 We deal with science and facts on BRT, not interested in your placebo affected opinions 😂
@@BourbonRealTalk Hahaha, thanks for the reply/info....it's much appreciated!
Great collection. Defo need more scotch in your life though. However, that’s another rabbit hole entirely! Slainte 🥃
I usually have 8-10 bottles of scotch, but if I started collecting like I do bourbon I think Lindsey would kill me. Cheers!
Gorgeous. A labor of love.
Thank you! Cheers!
33:49 FAVORITE PART!!!!
Mine too!
Awesome wall of whiskies. Very nice. It's nice that you have your wife on the videos with you. But one thing is you have to have her stop rockingl. At one point in the video I thought you both were on a boat until I seen you wern't rocking back and forth.
She rocks when she is nervous. I really have to beg her to be on camera. I thought she did great, but I don't notice her rocking because I am used to it. Cheers!
@@BourbonRealTalk : She did great. You did great. Your wife is very photogenic. I hope she gets past her fear of being on camera, as you both do a nice job of presenting. The stories she helps draw out of you is what helps make this channel, indeed, Real Talk. Cheers, from AZ. PS. Awesome wall of whiskeys. ;)
@@taquitopicante5863 This made Lindsey smile!
No offense, but I hope that store in Atlanta will check for state IDs this year. The regulars that keep the lights on are getting screwed IMO. Real talk.
No offense taken. They started this year and Rodney stopped shopping at their store as a result. You see, we knew about the store because Rodney's work took him to the area regularly. He stopped by the store every few weeks to build up his relationship with the owner and always bought a bottle when he was there. Once they stopped letting out of state people get bottles he stopped shopping there. Now nearly 100% of the bottles go to non regular shoppers who live in state and immediately flip the bottles. So your plan has been implemented and it created a bigger problem.
Great show
I have heard you mention a club you belong to. Is this club open to anyone? Can you provide more information

I know its a question asked a million times but do you feel your whiskey suffers from having so many open bottles? I currently have a few bottles open but would love to open just about all of them but am always afraid of the whiskeys flavor getting changed to much especially with my better stuff.
Too much to explain here. I am doing a 2 year study. I have covered this topic in other podcasts. The short answer is whiskey is NOT reactive with oxygen as people incorrectly assert. It does change with time due to evaporative loss of ethanol, dissolved CO2 levels changing PH, and exposure to UV rays. The changes are slow and mostly undetectable and not necessarily changes for the worse. No one believes that whiskey changes in a noticeable way within 2 years, so feel free to open as many bottles as you can drink in 2 years (hopefully sharing with friends), and don't worry too much about the ones you don't finish in that time. They may taste different but it may be better or worst for you palate, but it will still be drinkable. Cheers!
Those shelves still have tons of space. just push the bottles a little closer together.
I can fit 2-4 more face front bottles on most shelves...except the SSW pick shelf (it is packed). I just don't want to nest and not have every bottle have face front positioning. We will see. The biggest deterrent is I just don't want to do the work right now :-)
That's a sweet collection. I collect too. But the prices are outrageous and now everyone wants to make a killing on each bottle even other collectors where I live. So now there is no such thing as retail because the stores sell a 100 dollar special for a 1000 plus. So now we can only dream.
It is a common problem. I did a video that might help.

With so many open bottles how do you keep them from going bad. (Please don't say you just drink all of them within 2 years.)
I invite members from the club over about every 3 weeks and let them drink their fill. In this way we go through most bottles in under 2 years. Whiskey will change over time, but it is slow and not always for the worse. I have had many bottles open over 2 years and I can not think of one that changed so much that I didn't like it. They change but they do not go from good to bad, just good to different.
Man you know how to make a guy jealous.
Right! My wife is freaking HOT! Just kidding, you probably meant the whiskey :-)
Wooo
My liver hurts
You don't drink them all at once :-)
Damn I got 6 bottles and my wife is complaining 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Luckily my wife participates in the hobby now, so that makes it easier.
CHEERS TO ALL DEAR ONES :)
Cheers!
Hey brother you had to go through all that to come to the conclusion Wild Turkey 101 was the best dram of 'em all. Hell I could have saved you some money and told ya that. Look no further ... you have arrived! And it's not cheap ... it's inexpensive to boot.
I agree with the sentiment. My collection is used for more than just having a great tasting pour, so even though I love WT101 I buy a lot of other things to create opportunities for connection.
Boy how this video has aged lol. Wasn't there a more recent video where you said you once spent well over $1000 for a BTAC?
Yes, I paid $1900 for ER17 to complete my BTAC set.
Better lock it up before the teens get in there and you catch them and their friends mixing the Pappy with Diet Coke
My kids know the difference between top shelf and mixers, but that is part of the reason we moved the collection so we could lock it up. Cheers!
i like the jim beam marijuana decanter beccause of the uhh uhh
Ha!
Making me sad with my 35 bottles.
35 bottles is respectable! Nothing to be sad about there. Cheers!
14:00 I really don't get it, cannot stand Wild Turkey 101.. compared to Makers 46 or even Woodford Reserve, it's grotesque
I have a hard time thinking any mass produced widely distributed KY bourbon from a legacy distillery is "grotesque". Most of the time a person who holds this opinion formed it from a bad experience long ago. How long has it been since you tried it? Have you tried it side by side with Maker's or Woodford? Have you had someone blind you?
Why not just open a bar? Do you Drink Whiskey every day?
The truth is a make a lot more money off the connections I make giving my whiskey away for free than I could ever make opening a high risk venture like a bar. I do drink whiskey every day.
thats not cannabis thats agave
Equally as weird
Why would anyone want a whiskey "collection"? Isn't whiskey to drink, not collect? I have about ten different bottles but I am drinking them all at a reasonable rate.
I collect to share. My time in the collecting game affords me opportunities to acquire bottles that most people don't have access to. I then use those bottles to bring people together so they can form connections with each other, my podcast, the whiskey club I run, and to network for business. Other people collect for financial reasons because whiskey as an asset typically appreciates. Some people collect as stewards of the whiskey to preserve it for future generations. Some people are a combination of any of these three things.
One think I know for sure is collecting isn't a waste. You might have 10 bottles, but I would bet none of them are $100,000+ rare bottles of scotch that their best use would be as a museum piece to preserve it for a future generation rather than being gulped down while watching TV on a Tuesday night.
