I’m fascinated by other peoples booze collections and mine lives in three sections of the kallax in the kitchen. I’m always surprised by how many bottles there are (although mine is pretty modest by the standards of my friends) and I can always think of sprits that I don’t have and should probably buy!

I recently decided to dust the booze shelves and 46 bottles of spirits, given that I don’t drink that much anymore (not more than two drinks, not more than two nights in a row) and I’m just one person, that doesn’t work in the industry, isn’t an influencer or reviewer, seems a bit much..

It isn’t a very balanced collection, there is one bottle of rum and no vodka but 13 bottles of gin (not including the couple of non alcoholic gins) and 10 of whiskey. For anyone wondering, the bottles I always have in the how are campari, cointreau, aperol, Buffalo Trace (the house bourbon), Powers plain and rye (the house whiskeys), Sipsmith and Plymouth (house gin) and red and white vermouth that live in the fridge. So I’m always good for a manhattan, a martini and a negroni which are my three favourite cocktails.

If I had unlimited funds there would be more rye whiskey in my life but there are currently three bottles in the collection!
