Don as with you and your razors I like a variety. Fina Estampa, Casa Noble, JCRF [Jose Cuervo Reserva De Familia], El Jimador Añejo, Don Julio 1942, El Lano, and the ultimate for me is Heredurra Selection Suprema [for special occasions only]. I have others that I like but these always have been good to me.

I'm pretty simple, too. I've got a bottle of Knob Creek bourbon, and my wife has a bottle of rum of some kind for her hot cocoa in the winter. My wife buys a bottle of wine now and again. Other than that, I stick to an IPA of some sort. With all the talk of single malts, though, I'm itching to buy a bottle of Laphroaig.

!!!!!! !!!!!! Any time you want to come to Atlanta 2Sharp, I would be happy to make space by my fire for ya.

I noticed you too have a taste for Pyrat rum! I also noticed it seems you own 3 bottles currently..

Well, I've been in love with the stuff since this Christmas when all the NC liquor stores started stocking it FOR CHRISTMAS ONLY. Ever since my local store ran out, I've been scouring all of them, as it is indeed not on the state list an can only be purchased during christmas, possibly never again after this year.

Well Last week I found a lonely new liquor store in Fletcher, NC and the had one case of this great stuff left. (6 bottles).

Long story short, I mad the plunge into inequity and bought an entire case ...

My girlfriend thinks I'm a little nuts, but when in limited supply, I'm not above hording the finer things in life!

I like Don Julio and Patron, but my tequila list is not as diverse as yours, looks like an interesting collection.

My bar is covered with coffee equipment.

I stock some vodka for my wife (usually Stoli) and have some brandy and rum on hand, but I'm a dirty martini drinker, so it's gin for me. I've tried them all, from Bombay Sapphire to Boodles to Tanqueray to Plymouth. I've settled on Gordon's. Not because it's much cheaper than the primos (which I don't mind at all), but because it seems to make as good a dirty martini as any of them.

I always have a bottle or two of Plymouth Gin. It's the best and most versatile gin for my money.

My brother and father live in Green Point, Brooklyn, NY, which is a very Polish neighbourhood. As such, I always have an array of vodkas from the land that invented vodka (or at least has a reasonable claim as such). Pan Tadeusz is a Rye Vodka that I enjoy a lot. Luksosowa is a potato vodka that you can find in some places for dirt cheap (and it's very tasty). The corner stone is DeBowa Polska Oak vodka. Yes, vodka flavoured with oak. It's tasty, trust me. Being from Eastern European stock myself, vodka is to be drank ice cold on the rocks with no mixers and all of the above are great straight-up vodkas. All for less than that French vodka, and tastier too. That's not surprising since, well, what do the French know about vodka?

I also usually have a bottle of dark rum, although I have no favorite or regular choice.

Lastly, a bottle of Cladestine Charlotte Suisse Absinthe. Mighty tasty, that stuff. I sort of want to give a try to some other Swiss absinthes. (The Bohemian ones I've had that are more common taste pretty nasty.)

A bottle of Belvedere, a single malt, a bourbon (Gentlemen Jack right now), a red, a white, a tawny port, amaretto, a Patron tequila and a few liquors for cooking, or a nip of schnapps.
