caveat: if you’re in AA, or have a problem drinking responsibly, just close this window.
For the rest of us I thought it might be fun to list the current contents of our liquor cabinets…Current…list all the alcohol you have on hand right now.

I remember a cabinet like that when I was growing up–always had this profoundly bitter aroma wafting out as you opened the door. The only thing I was looking for was creme de menthe for vanilla ice cream.
Two of my childhood assumptions about adulthood were that 1) I would need a similarly well-stocked liquor cabinet, and 2) I would, at a certain age, have to start wearing my hair like this:
What I actually have on hand, presently…
1 bottle Mitolo Jester Shiraz
1 bottle Rex & Goliath Pinot Noir
1 bottle Wakefield Shiraz/Cabernet
1.5 L Lindeman’s Bin 65 Chardonnay
and, a partial 1.5 L of (blech) Yellow Tail.
I have an opened pint of Southern Comfort 7/8 full. It’s been there a while (years.) The Jaegermeister bit the dust and I never even had a drink.
I’m re-gifting to my father-in-law this year a portable liquor cabinet in leather with suede interior and a combination lock. A Christmas gift from a former employer. In my younger days, I actually kept a well-stocked liquor cabinet if you only liked gin & apertifs.
we’re talkin ‘virtual’ cabinet…mine’s all over the house too, ..and did I mention mine is a 3- adult household…3…i want to make a point of that…that would be “3”…as in 1, 2, 3…
Holy mackerel! I don’t have nearly as much as some of you do What I do have…
A mostly gone bottle of Cointreau
Hiram Walker Triple Sec
1/3 bottle Bacardi 8
Mr. Boston Creme de Menthe (for Grasshopper bars)
DeKuyper Creme de Cacao (also for Grasshopper bars)
Peppermint Schnapps (for candy cane cookies…I do more baking than drinking it seems)
1.75 litre bottle of Jamesons (NOT for cookies )
Character Amontillado
Luksusowa potato vodka
A tiny bit of St Brendan’s Irish Cream
So there you go…most of it I don’t even drink, as you can see.
Well, my liquor is in the same cabinet as the cat food and daughter’s glasses (it’s low down).
I don’t drink liquor; wife does when it’s hot, plus she makes tinctures. We have bottles of Tanqueray, Jim Beam, some good Bacardi (OK, I drink liquor occasionally), and Evercleer (see bit about tinctures).
Lovely thread. I’m planning on buildning a home bar in my next appartment, there you’ll find a selection of wines, liqeures, white spirits (vodka, gin, tequila, white rum, cointreau), bourbon, and lots of beer along with my whisky.
Right now, all I have at hand is:
Ardbeg Ten
Auchentoshan Three Wood
Bowmore 12yo
Bowmore Enigma
Bruichladdich 15yo Second Edition
Bunnahabhain 12yo
Caol Ila 12yo

Oh, has anyone missed out on the fact that I sort of like
whisky
Nuts. I wiped the original list. It’s one of those days.
Glenmorangie (previously Laphroaig, previously Bushmills)
Bacardi
Blackberry liqueur
Green Chartreuse
Orange Chocolate Liqueur
Cointreau
Pear Liqueur
Créme de Menthe
I finished the Brandy (oops!)
Assorted fruit liqueurs bought for my wife and ignored
We used to have Mozart, but the bottles emptied too quickly.
The wine lives in a rack in the hall and the ale lives in the kitchen. The Port lives with the wine.
Various people sent us bottles of Baileys Irish Cream. We have recycled them (as presents to other people). None of us like it. My Mother in Law thinks it’s the last word in elegance. That alone would put us off.
I only really buy stuff as I want to drink it, so don’t keep a stock of booze really. But at the moment my flat contains the following:
About 7 bottles of Perroni lager
Glenmorangie
Balvenie Doublewood I got for my birthday
A bottle of Port I got on holiday
Bottle of Smirnoff red
Bottle of Baileys irish cream
Miniature whisky/ey collection I got as a secret santa last year
The remains of a bottle of Jack someone left at a party.
What I do have…
