What's on my shelves (in my 'working whisky collection')

Well, let me start by saying that yes, I do have a whisky collection, but it is more of a 'working whisky' collection, as I like to call it. Those bottles which are not open, are essentially being saved for a special - or sometimes VERY special - occasion. I do not consider myself a collector in the anal-retentive sense, where I have hundreds of bottles squirrelled away just for the sake of owning them, never to be opened or even looked at, and probably forgotten aside from appearing on a spreadsheet. Then again, is this page on the blog any different!?!

So, here's what I have at the moment, listed by region, with a map for quick reference:
