This isn’t a collection for the sake of collecting, but I have wound up increasing storage space for alcohol.  Somehow I internalized the idea of being a good host, so I’ve always got to have sufficient bottles on hand to mx the most common drinks.  And then on top of that, I’ll keep a bottle around in case one of my guests (who will undoubtedly be a person of taste and distinction) might be interested in that particular spirit.

The list below is of those particular bottles which I won’t finish unless I can get a replacement (or renamed equivalent in the case of the JWs.)  It does not include general-duty mixing whiskies or rum, vodka, tequila, gin, brandy, etc.  Those get bought and consumed on an as-needed basis.

 

This is the kitchen shelf, as opposed ot the pantry shelf or the basement cabinets.
