Wait...I have a half a pint of Southern Comfort in a drawer, just like Mutepoint.

Southern Comfort is the universal liquor. It works for boilermakers, coffee drinks, and girly drinks.

Well, my liquor is in the same cabinet as the cat food and daughter's glasses (it's low down).

I don't drink liquor; wife does when it's hot, plus she makes tinctures. We have bottles of Tanqueray, Jim Beam, some good Bacardi (OK, I drink liquor occasionally), and Evercleer (see bit about tinctures).

Lovely thread. I'm planning on buildning a home bar in my next appartment, there you'll find a selection of wines, liqeures, white spirits (vodka, gin, tequila, white rum, cointreau), bourbon, and lots of beer along with my whisky.

Right now, all I have at hand is:
Ardbeg Ten
Auchentoshan Three Wood
Bowmore 12yo
Bowmore Enigma
Bruichladdich 15yo Second Edition
Bunnahabhain 12yo
Caol Ila 12yo
The Glenlivet Nádurra 16yo
Glenfarclas 21yo
Lagavulin 16yo
Lagavulin 1991 Distillers Edition
The Macallan 10yo Fine Oak
Rosebank 12yo Flora & Fauna
Springbank 10yo

+ 20cl of each of the old six classic malts (before Diageo expanded them).

Oh, has anyone missed out on the fact that I sort of like
whisky

Créme de Cassis.

Nuts. I wiped the original list. It's one of those days.

Glenmorangie (previously Laphroaig, previously Bushmills)
Bacardi
Blackberry liqueur
Green Chartreuse
Orange Chocolate Liqueur
Cointreau
Pear Liqueur
Créme de Menthe
I finished the Brandy (oops!)
Assorted fruit liqueurs bought for my wife and ignored
We used to have Mozart, but the bottles emptied too quickly.

The wine lives in a rack in the hall and the ale lives in the kitchen. The Port lives with the wine.

Various people sent us bottles of Baileys Irish Cream. We have recycled them (as presents to other people). None of us like it. My Mother in Law thinks it's the last word in elegance. That alone would put us off.

I only really buy stuff as I want to drink it, so don't keep a stock of booze really. But at the moment my flat contains the following:

About 7 bottles of Perroni lager
Glenmorangie
Balvenie Doublewood I got for my birthday
A bottle of Port I got on holiday
Bottle of Smirnoff red
Bottle of Baileys irish cream
Miniature whisky/ey collection I got as a secret santa last year
The remains of a bottle of Jack someone left at a party.

I need to buy more whisky.

Translation?

A friend of mine referred to someone as a "wagon" just recently. I had no idea what that one meant either, but I was assured it was an "Irish-ism". Y'all have some weird terms

And cough syrup.

A Press is a standard Irish term for a cupboard.

A wagon is pretty flexible in usage but generally means an unattractive person, usually female. By that I mean that it is a term usually used by men.

Must dash it's nearly time for the Friday afternoon debating society meeting.

Slan,
D.

A Press is a cupboard, like, no a kist (chest), ken.
If you were up in Scotland you'd hear that one a lot more.

And came in from my ploys to the fire,
With my boots clamjamphried wi' glaur
And my jecket all speldered wi' mire

And nae bite frae the press or the pan
And my auld grannie said as she skelped me to bed
"Hech, sirs, what a burden is man!"

Well, I'm glad it wasn't used in reference to me then

As for press, I should have known that one. Once I read your response, I had a "duh moment".

If I'm supposed to understand that one, I don't. I give up...I'm never going to make it if I move to Ireland.

I suspect this debating society is held in a pub somewhere...?
