After looking at the “I love Bourbon” thread earlier, and recently moving to a new house and taking inventory of my booze, I got to wondering what everyone else has. Me and my fiance/wife (I get married on Dec 8th!) between the two of us have: 1 full bottle Sauza Hacienda reposado tequila 1/2 bottle Tanqueray Rangpur gin 3/4 bottle Bombay Sapphire gin 1/4 bottle Dimple Pinch scotch 1/2 of a 350ml bottle of Jameson’s Irish Whiskey 1 full bottle of Maker’s Mark bourbon 1 almost full bottle of Grey Goose vodka 1 half-full 350 ml bottle of Herradura Reposado tequila 1 full bottle of some kind of Oaxacan mescal 1 full bottle of Orendain Crema de Almendrado (funky stuff for sure) 3 beers and about a dozen bottles of assorted wine between the two of us, including a bottle of Barolo. What do you have? ---

I have a bottle of Crown royal, a bottle of Kahlua especial, a quarter bottle of wine, a quarter bottle of soco (just a small one) and something like half a bottle of amaretto. I don’t drink much at home, and I’m the only one who can drink so some of it has been around for a little while. ---

By “booze”, are you including all alcohol? I’m well stocked at the moment - for me. My dad would have croaked… 3 Stout beers 2 inches of Baileys. Sad, I know. ---

Cripes, which one? We have the “Kitchen cabinet bar” that holds the stuff that’s on hand for guests, so it includes a mid price vodka, gin, tequila, rum and all of the mixers life will aquire you such as schnapps and blue curacao, margarita mix, bloody mary mix as wells the like to make those horrible sweet cocktails that female guests seem to like like cosmo mix and random neon things. The living room bar is an actual bar and has the higher shelf stuff on display, as well as the things that I tend to drink the most often, as well as several bottles of wine for my girlfriend and for meals, a bottle of Campari, several assorted scotches and whiskeys and a bottle of tequila someone bought me that looks like a Colt 1911 just because it’s fun. Also included here are things like an ice bucket, proper glassware, towels, napkins, toothpicks etc. Beer is kept in the fridge, the good vodka is in the freezer and the non alcoholic mixers are either on the floor of the kitchen pantry or in the fridge as well. ---

I think I’ve got, in varying states of fullness: 30-30 Tequila Blanco Patron Citronge Cachaca (Of a brand I don’t much care for; I’m on the verge of tossing it out and buying fresh) Pusser’s Navy Rum (the 42-ish% abv version; the 100+ proof stuff is not available locally, it seems) A small bottle of very good cognac A several year old bottle of Hennessey that I should probably toss out A several year old bottle of a weird Californian single malt whiskey that I should probably toss out I think that’s about it. ---
