What are the best brands of alcohol to have when stocking your home bar?

My husband and I have recently redone our basement and plan to set up a personal bar. It would be greatly appreciated, if we could get advice on good quality brands of alcohol for multiple types of alcohol. Rum, vodka, tequila, triple sec, whiskey, etc. Thank you.What are the best brands of alcohol to have when stocking your home bar?
- Bourbon:
Maker's Mark, can't miss it! Goes really well straight or mixed.

- Single Malt Scotch
The Glenlivet 12 years
Oban

- Whiskey
Jack Daniel's
Canadian Club
Jameson


- Vodka
Smirnoff Red or Absolut for Cocktails and Mixers
Belvedere or Wyborova - keep cool all times for shots ;)

- Rum
Havana Club Anejo Especial for Mixers or Cocktails
Mount Gay Extra Old or Havana Club 7 years for shots.

- Tequila
My vote is for Jose Cuervo (Silver and Gold) for both shots and cocktails. If you want a more sophisticated one, go for Don Eduardo

- Triple Sec
Cointreau

- Gin
Tanqueray Ten and Hendrix's

Add all range of Bols Liqueurs. Great for the cocktails, and give your bar a great look.
Remember also you need some liqueurs!

Enjoy, and drink with responsibility!What are the best brands of alcohol to have when stocking your home bar?
alright this is a packed question, so here it goes



it depends on what the two of you like and what your friends like (cause you'll have a lot of them after you set up a bar). I am a absinthe and whiskey man, and drink good stuff straight, so keep that in mind when looking at my suggestions.



whiskey: knob creek (an especialy smooth whiskey with hints of cherry), jameson, george dickle white lable, highland, Prichard's single malt (this is the best one, simply great, it comes from a small distilery in TN).

tequila: always have patron, and jose cueveo



vodka: smernoff, grey goose, and absolute are all great straight or mixed



rum: prichard's rum is good, captian morgan is decent (I don't really know about rum)



Absinthe: (this is a must in any collection) buy some from the czech republic or france, 'innocent' is good brand. a good brand sold in the us is 'absinthe refined'.What are the best brands of alcohol to have when stocking your home bar?
