Bottles of Booze

 Dot and I have been rearranging our house to enable painting of walls in some living areas. In the process, I had to empty one place where we stored bottles of mainly spirits. I used to buy quite a few bottles of this that or the other while overseas or in some parts of Australia, but recent aversion to spirits has left many unopened. Here's a picture of the bottles extracted from one location in our house:


The list includes  Vicker's Gin (Australia - OZ); Cointreau (France (FR); Remy Martin Brandy (OZ); Benedictine (FR); 100 Pipers (UK); Shiraz Liqueur (OZ); Limoncello di Sorrento (Italy - IT); Tudor Royal Scotch (UK); Hennessey Brandy (OZ); Teacher's Highland Cream Whiskey (UK); Jim Beam Bourbon (USA); Chatelle Napoleon Brandy (FR); Grand Marnier (FR); Marko Dry Vermouth (OZ); Calvados Boulard (FR); BORZO Vodka (UK!); Drambuie (UK);  Maple Schnaps (Canada); Port (Portugal); and Licor di Leiti (Portugal).

Then I remembered that I hid a whole lot more bottles in my study ... mostly Scotch Whiskey. The list comprises: Ballantine, Bailey's Irish Cream, Tobermory, Langavulin, Glenmorangie, and Bushmill Malt Irish Whiskeys. In addition I have Doktor Vodka (Russia), Gota De Minas Cachaca (Brazil), and Sulwha Saki (Japan).

Anyone fancy visiting me for an extended booze-up? It might take a couple of weeks or more to clear the decks prior to checking in at our local hospital!

I wish I'd seen this sooner! G and I would have happily taken some of the bottles off your hands. Maybe bring some down next time you visit?
