What do you stock in your personal bar?

[cheessus]

Rip Van Winkle 23 (took me forever and an arm and a leg to get this)
Johnny Walker Black
Jamiseons (which I just killed)
Tanqueray 10
Skky Melon
Grey Goose
Russian Shot

I love vodka. What are some good lesser known brands? I've fell in love with and have been missing Wyborowa from back in the day when I was studying abroad in France. My best friends and I pretty much drank a fifth 2-3 times a week before going out. For 10E/bottle, and at that quality (at least I remember it as such), it blew my mind.

As for functionality, I need something that can hold my glass and stemware, liquor collection, bar tools, and has a wine rack.
Bumping for unfortunate page placement and lack of response.

Tried Hangar One? Craft distilled, rather delicious.

^ Hangar One is very good vodka. I was initially sold by the marketing, the talk of craftsmanship, and fresh ingredients, all that stuff. However, once I tasted it, I was sold. It's amazing stuff.

I just bought this today, based on something I read in the Wine Spectator. I have been a long time consumer of the regular Milagro, finding it to be a fantastic value. This won Best In Show of an international spirits contest. It is easier to sip neat, than any single malt I have ever tasted and is smoother than the Louie Trez I have. I highly recommend it, and with the distinctive bottle, plan to make it part of my menu of gifts.
