What's in your liquor cabinet?

[harty83]

Just wondering what type of libations everyone goes for. A little of everything? One favorite type of spirit? Only top shelf stuff? Or maybe the cheapest of the cheap?

Here is my current lineup. I tend to try find a good value by striking a balance between price and taste:

Whisk(e)y:
Bourbon: Buffalo Trace - I really like this a lot.
Canadian: Windsor - old standby
Scotch: Tomatin Legacy - an inexpensive single barrel, but not bad, really.

Brandy:
Korbel - mostly have this around for winter cocktails. Kinda like it, though.

Rum:
Cruzan - Rum is really not my favorite, but this fills a spot fairly well
Barcardi Limon - for my wife

Gin:
New Amsterdam - surprisingly good for the price. This is the gin I share with others
Hendricks - my most expensive bottle. Love it. This is for me.

Tequila:
Familia Camarena Silver: I've never liked tequila for shots/sipping, and this is no different. Makes a great margarita, though.

Vodka:
Currently empty. When I do have vodka, it is generally for bloody marys. I stay away from the rubbing alcohol tasting stuff, but don't go all out either.

 

[Mr Janny]

Bombay Sapphire Gin
Pimms #1

Those are the two that I always keep around. Beyond those, it depends. I usually have some kind of whiskey, tequila, rum, vodka, and schnapps, but I'm not too tied to any one brand of each.

 

[Farnsworth]

Bootleg Templeton Rye and Sailor Jerry's.

 

[AmesHawk]

Sort of low right now.

Wiskey:
Makers Mark
Seagrams and Crown

Tequila:
Jose Gold

Rum:
Sailor Jerry's
Bacardi Superior

Vodka:
Kettle One
Svedka (strictly for bloody marys and salty dogs, not sure why anyone would use premium for those two drinks)

Out of the stuff that's in ther, I only drink the captain Morgan, fireball, and Rumchata. I know there is some BV In there as well. Lot of random **** left from parties and such.

 

[CYCLNST8]

Jack is all I need, baby. Keeps me warm. 5 O'Clock for Moscow Mules, & some Jose for when dad visits. I know. I'm classy.

 

[wartknight]

About 3 half handles of captain.
Jack
Jack Tennessee Honey
Wild Turkey American Honey
Various girly vodkas
Some peppermint schnapps for fishing
kahlua
fireball
Some other things I can't think of right now

 

[NATEizKING]

Jose, Jaeger, Crown, and we stocked up on $9.99 1.75L of UV when Fareway had a sale. I only take shots

 

[bos]

Sailor Jerry, Tanqueray Gin, Vermouth, Blantons Bourbon, and for some reason a bottle of peach schnapps, oh and in the freezer a bottle of cheap *** hawkeye vodka. And if you want to count it, an empty bottle of Templeton.

And occasionally some cheap rum for daiquiris.

Bulleit's Rye is better, IMO.

Captain, Disaronno, Smirnoff, El Jimador, triple sec, some random beers/wines...I think that's about it.

Its not very manly, but I do like a disaronno on the rocks occasionally.



Side note: drop that captain and get yourself some Sailor Jerry. =)

we like to mix it with squirt and orange juice. It's pretty sweet though.

One of my buddies grandparents passed away, and paid $100 (Probably worth $300+) for a 1/2 pint of Very Old Fitzgerald bourbon whiskey. Bottled in 1967. I've been waiting 2 years for the right time to open it, and I still haven't found it...

Other than that the normal stuff like Templeton, Jack, grey goose, and a bunch of other bottles collecting dust because I don't drink them. Also some wine as well.

Ill bet, that would probably make me sick. I cant do overly sweet drinks. Sounds pretty good though.

I had an unopened bottle of Crown from 1968 that I held onto forever. In a moment of weakness I opened it. It was delicious. But I miss having it now. Just seemed so collectible. Stay strong brother!

Yeah, I'm not as big a fan of the Rye.

Crown, Beefeaters, Malibu, Capt Morgan, Midori, Blue Curacao, creme de cacao, some pretty old SoCo, Vox vodka, some flavored vodkas (vanilla, whipped cream, cotton candy) Kahlua, Baileys, Tanqueray, Patron

My house was invaded by ants about 6 years ago and they were very fond of the liquor cabinet. Wife tossed a bunch of stuff becauses she knew my dumb *** would probably try to salvage the alcohol. The good news was that the ants focused on the schnapps and other crap that was much cheaper to replace.

At first glance, I saw aunts, haha. Would have been a better story if it was aunts, but yeah ants are no fun.
