Liquor, Liquor, Everywhere...

Normally Mrs. Bottle and I live a life of relaxed luxury where we sit around, drink, and ponder who might win Top Chef.  Due to some unfortunate circumstances, we have had to remain stone cold sober for the last couple evenings.  That makes it difficult to update a blog about drinking.  That isn’t going to stop me from making a post, though.  We inventoried our pre-blog liquor cabinet and we are happy to share it (the inventory, not the liquor) with you.

Behold a loosely organized list with the proof and an occasional note:
