Here’s what I’m stocking at home.

Gin

Beefeater : Great well gin. Absolute steal for the price.

Plymouth: My G&T gin of choice.

Hayman’s Old Tom

Vodka

Sobieski: Cheap and as close to flavorless as it gets. You use vodka when you don’t want any liquor flavor, in my case usually for infusions, so spending on expensive ones seems silly to me.

Diesel 151: for making mint extracts, etc. High ABV, low flavor. Not really vodka, but close enough.

Rum

Flora de Cana Extra Dry: White rum.

Gosling’s Black Seal: Great dark rum. It’s a total well liquor, and one of my most popular.

Sailor Jerry: Friend of mine loves these in Coke so I stock it for him.

Meyer’s Dark

Cachaca

Leblon: only decent one available in Ohio and I haven’t tried any others. I need to remedy that.

Pisco

Porton: Only decent Pisco available in Ohio. I’d like to try more Piscos, but Porton makes a good sour.

Whiskey

Four Roses Yellow Label: Probably the bottle I go through the most of.

Old Overholt Rye: So good, and so cheap.

Rittenhouse Bonded Rye

Buffalo Trace Bourbon: Good midrange choice for sipping neat.

Few White Dog

Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch

Bulleit Rye: Not bad but not worth the money, won’t buy again.

Tequila/Mezcal

Olmecca Altos Reposado: My favorite well tequila.

Del Maguey Vida Mezcal

Other

Batavia Arrack

Pernod Absinthe

Infusions

Toasted Corn Husk Bourbon: uses 4 Roses Yellow. Still my favorite cheap bourbon for infusing.

Banana Justino: Bananas blended into Gosling’s, then Pectinex clarified.

Aged Eggnog (not pictured): getting ready for the holidays. I keep this in the refrigerator though I think they’re shelf-stable at this point.

Strawberry Cachaca: One of my favorite flavor combos. I even put cachaca in my strawberry sorbets.
