A bottle of anything never last long enough to have another bottle of something else next to it. Also, they never make it to the cabinet. i just leave it on the counter. But curently there is a bottle of Smirnof someone left from Easter that I will probably finish off tonight.

Just bought Laphroig 10 year and Baker’s 7.

They’re not technically “in my cabinet” since I bought them for some friends who are putting me and two friends up for a weekend festival.

I’m almost looking forward to the whiskey more than the other events.

We just moved a few months ago, so the liquor cabinet is low. But just now I saw:

Tullamore Dew  
Elijah Craig  
Jameson Black Barrel  
Bacardi Silver  
Wild Turkey 101  
Ketel One  
Evan Williams Bonded  
4 Roses Small Batch  
Old Granddad Bonded  
Evan Williams Single Barrel  
Flor de Cana Anejo  
Flor de Cana Grand Reserva  
Pyrat  
Elijah Craig Small Batch  
Sauza Silver  
Green Spot  
B&B  
Rittenhouse Rye Bonded  
Beam Devil’s Cut  
Tito’s  
Redbreast Lustau  
Dickel 8  
Jameson  
Don Julio Reposado  
Bombay Sapphire  
Christian Bros. sherry  
Old Rip Van Winkle 10

That’s in the cabinet, and some of them are either multiples or handles. Still boxed are about a dozen single-malt Scotches and a handful or cognac/armagnacs. Plus the wine rack and all the beer, of course.

Maybe not quite this, but yeah, I’ve got probably a dozen core/standard items and then a really healthy mix of gins and whiskey/whiskys of all kinds.

The most _interesting_ things in my liquor cabinet right now are about a third of a bottle of the Glemorangie Ealanta that won the top world whisky award in 2014, about half a bottle of the Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique that won the same award in 2015, and close to two bottles of the Kavalan Solist Amontillado Sherry that won the single cask award last year.

(My in-laws live in Taiwan and use up their personal allowances bringing me Kavalan whenever they visit. This works for me.)

I inherited the liquor cabinet from my parents. I don’t drink, and neither did they, so whatever’s in it is stuff other people gave them and was probably never opened. Like several decades old.

I hardly drink, but I do like it on occasion. Right now I just have:

Some plum wine from Japan.  
A small bottle of Blackberry Mead.  
A bottle of Watling’s Rum from Nassau.  
And I just got a 50 year old bottle of scotch from a client to thank me for their gains. Not a bad day.

Three bottles of wine that were in my father’s wine rack when he died. Only for guests. I gave up drinking a few years ago. It’s a young man’s game and I had done more than my share of it.

Missed a couple. There’s also Templeton Rye, Bulliett Rye, Skyy vodka, several vermouths, a few bitters, some things like Cointreau, some peach schnapps and a bottle of some strange stuff I got from a fellow Doper in a shot glass exchange a while back.

I drink, but sparingly. I also cook a lot with alkeyhawl. This apparently leads to the mish-mash that is my liquor cabinet right now:

Extra-dry vermouth  
Dry sherry, very dry sherry, cream sherry  
Madiera  
Marsala  
Creme de cacao  
Creme de menthe (green and white)  
Creme de cassis  
Chambord  
Triple Sec  
Limoncello (homemade)  
Gran Marnier  
Di Saronno  
Kahlua  
Campari  
Wild Strawberry Schnapps (owing to an unfortunate flirtation with Brain Hemorrhages a couple of decades ago)  
Applejack  
Petite Sirah port  
white port  
Hennessy cognac  
Remy Martin brandy  
Christian Brothers brandy  
Meyers dark rum  
Bacardi white rum  
Courvoisier  
Smirnoff/Kamchatka/Pinnacle vodkas  
Souza Blanco/Lunazel/Jose Cuervo Gold/tequilas  
Jim Beam/Old Granddad/Kessler whiskeys  
Jameson Irish whiskey  
Makers Mark bourbon  
Glenfiddich/Laphriaig single malt scotches  
Bombay Sapphire/Hendricks gins (technically in the freezer)  
A couple of fruity rums brought back from the Carribbean

As well as the usual assortment of bitters, Grenadine and Roses of Lime juice.

And not counting many wines.

I should probably get started on finishing this stuff up.

Most of a bottle of Cuervo Silver someone brought to my wedding three years ago, a bottle of Rose’s Lime Juice, some margarita mix, some other random mixers, half a bottle of XXX Shine corn whiskey, and a 1.75L of Canadian Club.
