Even though I love my scotches and beers my liquor game is pretty weak. I keep on drinking my collection away. Right now in my bar I got:

- Bushmill 12 yr with my name printed on the bottle straight from distillery. I will probably never open this as it came straight from Ireland and manufactured at the actually distillery with some sentimental attachment
- 1 bottle of Duff Beer replicated from the Simpsons straight from Amsterdam
- Monkey's Shoulder Scotch
- Jamison's
- Auchentoshan single malt scotch

Beer fridge- Sam Adams Oktoberfest

What's in your home bar?

I only ever drink to get wasted not a fan of having a drink during the week just for 'satisfaction'

BTW I don't get messed up much anyway only on occasions alcohol to me is just a good party drug to up the mood, i'd rather go to gym play ball eat healthy and drink iced tea

I drink almost every day so I stay stocked, though nothing too crazy.

A case of Hertog Jan beers
A few big bottles of Belgian dark beer (Carolus)
A couple bottles of Armagnac (De Montal)
A couple bottles of vodka (whatever is on sale, it's fcking vodka. Right now it's Bols)
A few bottles of whisky (black label)
A few assorted wines. A couple sweet and sparkly, a couple more serious.

Do you drink anything that isn't swill?

I don't have a "home bar" because I buy shit to consume, not horde, but I have a bottle and a half of Hendricks Gin, half a bottle of Gordon's gin, a quarter bottle of absolut vodka, a six pack of yenda pale ale and 20 fat yaks

Those are all considered swill? Because none of them have Glen in front of it? Those are a lot higher end labels than Gordon's or Hendricks in the Scotch world.

I usually keep a bottle of Laphroaig 10, a bottle of Tito's vodka, a bottle of Bulleit Rye (or a small batch from a company called Wigle here in Pitt), and a bottle of gin stocked. Plus minor ingredients like bitters and shit if I ever feel like actually making a cocktail, which is very rare.

Beer and wine is usually brought over by friends.

I don't know what they are considered, I usually don't heed the opinions of others, but jameson's, bushmill, duff and Sam Adams are all swill.

Monkey's shoulder is fine, but I'm not a huge whisky guy

Man, I can't see how people drink everyday? I only drink on special occasions. Like my cousin came into town this past weekend, so we drunk and reminisced.

I don't even keep alcohol at my place. If I need something, I go out and get it.

The Bushmill is a 12 year and specially signatured. It has cool sentimental value. But 12 year is far from swill. The Duff is a conversation piece. Its not stocked to drink. I'm a craft beer snob but I happen to like Sam Adams, especially their seasonal stuff. Jameson is to get hammy. My pregamer if I'm partying.

Usually rotate Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sam Adams Boston Lager or whatever local beer looks good.

1800 for tequila
Tito's Handmade for vodka
Lagavulin for scotch
Bookers for bourbon

Usually grab a bottle of Chianti or a blended white for dinner once in a while too

My father in law has a lot of money, but he never buys expensive things, with the exception of alcohol. If he doesn't like something, he lets me try it, and if I like it he gives me the bottle.

2 weeks ago he gave me a bottle of Octomore scotch - $160 value. Didn't really care for it but I love it.

Also, I live in Kentucky, so every kind of bourbon you've never heard of is available. When I have to buy my own stuff, I'll try a new bourbon. My current favorite that is affordable is Big Ass. (As in a donkey.) Give it a try if you can find it. I don't know if it's widely distributed.

The best bourbon is Elijah Craig 18. I think it runs $80 a bottle though. I've never had one in my actual possession

As for as drinkmaking, all I do is whiskey on the rocks... except for whiskey sours. One time we were out of lemons so I made whiskey sours with limes. It turned out to be a great hit, and is my "signature drink" to make for guests. Give it a try sometime. A bit less citrus, a bit more bourbon and syrup, and for God's sake make sure you shake it with plenty of ice.

On a side note, and I don't mean to disparage anybody, because this applies to most of my friends too, but how are there so many grown men out there whose primary drink is anything other than whiskey? Beer is for meals and parties.

As someone who knows someone that built his own bar in one of his room...this thread is sad.

I was expecting pictures of home built bars.

:facepalm

From Pennsylvania. And like I said, I'm a craft beer snob, but I find this beer great to sip through on any occasion. Or are you one of those hipsters that think if it's not craft it's swill. There are many swill craft beers out there. I think I've refined my pallet throughout the years. I've been to over 30 beer festivals over the span of over 5 years. So much so that brew masters recognize me by face at every venue. I like this beer. I like Coronas. Swill is a matter of personal preference.

I keep bottles of Jamaican Ginger Beer for my young impressionable college bitches.

Nah for real, I keep a bottle of Tanqueray Gin on deck cause I'm a old soul. And an engraved bottle of Jack Daniel's Honey Tennesse Whiskey. Gin and tonics, Hotty Toddys, etc, all on deck throughout the winter...
