re: Six bottles of liquor

This scenario doesn't really exist for me. My stuff is not to impress people, it's about quality and cost (you'll see I have a number of Costco bottles). It's difficult to impress people and not spend much. When we have more than two other couples over, we pull out bigger, cheaper but "decent enough" bottles. Narrowing to six:

Bulleit bourbon
Kirkland Tennessee Whiskey
Bacardi white rum
Kirkland silver tequila
Kirkland vodka (American, it's cheaper and we are not vodka enthusiasts to care)
Bombay sapphire gin

For a smaller group I'll bring out middle of the road stuff.
One bourbon under <$60, Noah's Mill for now
A decent Irish whiskey, Bushmills 16 for now
Euphrosine gin
Bayou rum silver or select
Atelier Vie Toulouse Red (red absinthe)
Tito's
