Top Shelf Liquor

[IceCyIce]

Finally getting a bar. I've got room for 6-8 bottles of booze. I'd like to get a nice variety of excellent quality liquor. My first bottle will be Johnny Walker Blue. What are some other must haves. Thanks in advance

Yellowstone is really good, imo.

Some fruity crap to get the ladies drunk.

I've heard JW Blue is good, but I wouldn't spend $200 on a blend that tastes like a $50 single malt. If you're a scotch guy, Lagavulin 16, any Ardbeg, Laphroaig 10, Talisker 10, Aberlour A'bunadh, Glenfarclas 105.

Get the tequila Jordan drinks
Glenlivet 18
Stoli
Knob Creek

Bourbons/ whiskeys, if you can find them:. Col. EH Taylor bottled in bond, Blanton's (good luck), any Weller's (again, good luck). Mitchers, Russells, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Larceny

Yes. And yes.

In all honesty, I just like to find stuff that tastes good and is unique regardless of price. Try finding things when you go out of state. Currently I have Johnny Drum bourbon, glenlivet French oak 15, some German schnapps and a similar Hungarian liquor (very strong), some moonshine and a bottle of tres generaciones

edit: Long shot I know, but if anyone has a line on some bootleg templeton let’s talk.

Basil Hayden is another nice bourbon. A little light, but nice and smooth.

For vodka the Goose is the obvious top shelf choice but honestly I've always felt Stolichnaya is just as good. The Russkies know vodka.

For gin, I've always been a Hendrick's guy. And if you really want to impress, snag a bottle of Old Tom's Ransom. Aged gin, my favorite in the world...

What, no MD 20/20? No collection is complete without some mad dog!

My brother in law and a few of his friends are from the area and have hookups. Just an FYI if you are trying to size it for your bar, I've only ever seen it come in a clear handle (1.75), so if you want a 750ml or 1L it might not fit your setup. Although with no labeling you could transfer it to whatever.

I saw it in fifths at Casey's a couple years ago. I was waiting in line and was looking around, I haven't really looked since if it is still there or what size.

If it is a domestic collection you are absolutely correct. But then what kind of collection would that be without some Two Buck Chuck? And a nice 1971 bottle of Ripple would be a very nice addition if you could find it.

handle would be fine. That gets stashed under the bar and is only opened for special guests and special occasions.

We’re talking bootleg, not found in any Casey’s.
