Realistically, i don't set up a bar as some of my friends do. But I always have 1 of the following in rotation. Espolon, Wild Turkey 101, Mount Gay/Kraken, Dewars. Always a bottle of champagne in the fridge, bottle of white(Bogle or any other cali sub $15 chardonnay), I have several NICE bottle of vintage port and reds which I'm waiting for the right moment to drink. I'm going to be waiting 20 years for the ports.

Espolon Reposado for the win! My local store sells it for $18...best deal ever. They also have Laphroaig 10 for $37. Yeah, keep both of those always on hand with a mix of other stuff.

 

From what I can remember off-hand -

Whiskey's: Redbreast 12 Highwest Double Rye Highwest Prairie Bourbon Crown Royale XO Tullamore Dew Jameson Caskmates Knob Creek

Vodka: Greygoose Absolut

Gin: Sipsmiths Monkey 47 Bombay Tanqueray

I stock a small bar in case I'm entertaining, so:

Whiskeys & bourbons: ... like 10 different bottles Vodka: Kirkland and Tito's Rum: Bacardi dark and light, Ron Zacapa Centenario 23, Ron Zacapa XO Tequila: Patron silver and anejo Gin: Bombay and Hendrick's Others: Random shit like some absinthe, liquers in the fridge, some weird Chinese stuff that'll burn the roof of your mouth off...

 

lol Talisker is a poor man's Lagavulin

In terms of my stuff: I usually have Lagavulin, Four Roses Bourbon, Knob's Creek, a bottle of a scotch I'm trying (right now that's Glenlivet Nadurra which is their cask strength - little too close to everclear for me), and one bottle of Balvenie 21 that was a gift.

I also keep a bottle of titos, couple bottles of mediocre wine, and some patron silver for if I have guests or girls over. Had a bottle of Hennessy but one of my fuckboy friends drank it all one night at a pregame, so need to get more.

 

Thanks! It has a mild taste, a little oakier than I typically like. Strong alcohol taste sorta overpowers all of the more nuanced notes haha. I only drink scotch straight, I'll do bourbon with ice though.

I mean it does a number on you so it's nice if you want to have one or two nice pours and get a solid buzz, and it's really interesting and different, but otherwise I'd say at it's pricepoint it's probably not worth getting

 

Talisker Distiller's Edition, either Sherry or Amoroso cask, won't change your life, but certainly makes it better. Cheap enough to be every day drinking, but nice enough to warrant comment if you share it.

Also: All the five standards (vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whisky (rye and bourbon) both high quality to impress, and low quality for the riff raff.

Some bottles of the cheap reds and whites, and a few bottles I wouldn't be ashamed to open in front of my bosses.

 

I keep a big bottle of Johnnie Walker Black in the trunk/in my cave that I make stretch. I just graduated but once I get that FT I might splurge and get a table for my bottle to sit on. Don't want to get ahead of myself.

 

At minimum, I keep a bottle of Scotch, a bottle of Whiskey, a bottle of Bourbon, a bottle of Gin, a bottle of decent Dark Rum, a bottle of decent Vodka, a bottle of Jameson, a bottle of Campari, a bottle of Chartreuse, 3 small bottles of Carpano Antica (I will never buy a large bottle. I store the small bottle in the Fridge once opened and it usually has a shelf life of about a month or two once broken into, Keeping it chilled slows down the oxidation and it makes 0 sense to own a big bottle if you're not drinking Sweet Vermouth based drinks in significant quantities), and bitters. 9 times out of 10 when I have company over, they go for the Vodka, Rum or Jameson, so decent quality is on the Vodka and Rum clutch here. Mixers, of course, are expected. I'm actually a fan of the La Croix seltzer waters because it makes an easy Liquor and Soda while imparting a nice flavor, but will keep Ginger Beer and Coke on hand if needed. Additionally, since I drink cocktails, I also keep a Boston Shaker, a mixing glass, a bar spoon, a muddler, two jiggers, a Hawthorne Strainer, a Julep Strainer, and a conical strainer on hand in order to make sure that I can drink what I like.

 

Whisky: Coal-Ila, Laphroaigh, Bunnahabhai, Bruichladdich and a bottle of Jonhy-Walker for some friends

Rum: Angostura 1919 and Mount-Gay XO (wouldn't mind if they changed the name though)

Gin: Hendrick and Monkey-47 and a bottle of Dolin Vermouth

Vodka: Chopin (would really recommend for the price)

Tequila: Silver Patron and Herradura reposado

Brandy: Godet-XO-excellence Cognac and Coureau Armagnac

And too much wine for listing it here...

 

Hendricks, Beefeater, and Deaths Door - I have been feeling new gins

Vermouth - I sometimes like super dry dirty martinis so a bottle of vermouth lasts me a while Olives - dirty it up

Tonic - like my g&t like a true sociopath

A Cabernet that I get from whole foods or a booze store for long days when I can't sleep lol

Rotating beer in the fridge- Oberon, Kona Long board , Stella Artois or any craft beer that has a cool looking bottle

Empty bottle of Veuve that I should probably toss

 

Scotch (various varieties in the $60 - $200 range), Belvedere, Russian Standard (gold/platinum), Milagro, Patron, and a few other bottles left over by drunken friends.

Also, nearly unlimited prosecco and white wine in the fridge, as well as a floor to ceiling wine cooler with mostly Argentine and California red wines (Malbecs FTW).

I drink a lot and am trying to slowly up my game to DickFuld type levels. May get there in a decade or two if I survive.
