I am new to Bourbon (whiskey) and Scotch (whisky) collecting and I am running out of room. For any bottle that comes in a box or container, I display them that way. If I would take them out of the boxes I could fit many more bottles on my cabinet. Should I just display the bottles and keep the boxes, display the bottles and throw away the boxes, or display them in their boxes?

I don't have anything real expensive. The most expensive would be Booker's, Johnnie Blue, or Glenmorangie 18. What's your opinions on the matter?

I display just the bottles.  Having said that, if I had any more very rare bottles that came in boxes, I'd save the box and/or bag.  If you ever intend to sell a rare bottle, having the box/bag would be a plus.

No boxes. My liquor guy makes a big deal out of matching the Booker's box with the bottle but I just throw the boxes out and drink the bottle. I really don't have any that are for display only.

disagree if u dont expect to drink them short term and they are valued in the thousands a buyer/collector wants the box

FIFO.

If single bottle, no box. If I have multiples, the front bottle is naked, the extras are in bags/boxes as they come.

This kinda.

I store all my bottles in a dark cabinet, but if I didn’t they’d be in boxes to avoid sunlight

I trash all my boxes if they come with one.  Anything I buy is for consumption and not re sale.

Only boxes I have are for storage until we can drink them.
