Oban is buttery nectar of the gods

I can't stand tonic. Mostly due to stealing it from my dad's bar thinking it was ginger ale.

Thoughts on Tito's compared to Patron? Price difference is pretty substantial and I haven't tried Tito's straight in order to verify it's as good.

I have never tried Patron's vodka but I don't care for Tito's personally.

Living in Austin and not liking titos had to be one of the cities cardinal sins. I'm not a fan. I want vodka to have as little taste as possible. If i do want taste, I'll do gin, looking at you Bombay sapphire. ill even do the occasional vanilla vodka and oj.

Love Patron. I don't believe Tito's is on the same level, but of course everyone has their opinion.

You talking about Ultimat Vodka? Tito's is pretty good straight, a tad hot on the finish though. I recommend Jean-Marc XO vodka if you want something to drink straight (or for a Vodka + Tonic) if you are willing to spend premium vodka pricing ($40-50). It is a phenomenal vodka and really good on the rocks. It has a very, very slight vanilla taste when on the rocks; otherwise it is basically like drinking water in terms of smoothness (and absolutely none of the typical vodka burn on the finish)

Just get Kirkland Vodka. Tastes the same as the expensive brands but costs way less.

Yeah Botanist is quality. Not sure I put it above the "standard" top shelf Hendrick's though.

I have never liked the taste of the gins I have tried. I think it was Bombay and Sapphire.

I enjoy this thread, as well as most types of liquors. If we're talking Bourbon, I'm a big fan of Four Roses, also enjoy Blanton's (has a cool bottle too).

I would be very curious to see what everyone's liquor shelf looks like. Right now I'm living in a small apt and only have a cheap Ikea shelf with some crappy christmas lights. I drilled some extra holes to make the skinny crystal shelf. Eventually I'd love to put my booze behind glass, it looks classiest that way.

I like pretty much all kinds of liquor. My favourite bottle I have right now is the Bastille 1789, named after the Bastille Day during the French Revolution.

I prefer regular old tanqueray to Bombay sapphire. Sapphire may be smoother, but when I drink gin, I want to taste the juniper.

Easily Scotch


Macallan (12, 18, and rare celebrations 25)is usually my to go for Scotch but I like everything like Glenlivet, Glennfidich, or Highland park... Etc


Not a big fan of Islay scotch but I respect the craft.

Scotch taste like I am stuffing a whole bunch of Spanish moss in my mouth, not a fan tbh. For cheap bourbon though, you cannot go wrong with the Evan Williams, I prefer Kentucky bourbon much more than Tennessee. Now that I am in Tokyo though, the Hibiki is delicious.

I also have a small city apartment so my bar situation isn't as good as it could be, but this is what I'm working with. I know you can't see a lot of the stock, but most of the things you can't see are gins - Mayfair, Junipero, and Bontanist. This pic is also maybe a month old so a lot of this stuff has rotated out. There's also a stupid bottle of Malibu Coconut Rum that a girl brought over once and she took like two shots of it and left it. Other bottle back there is Rumple Minze which I use strictly in my own modification of a White Russian. Basically make a White Russian, splash of Rumple Minze, and then add a bit of cinnamon. Delicious drink.
