I just picked up a 1 liter bottle last night - freaking $32. I have heard nothing but good things about it though, so hopefully it will be worth it. I haven't cracked the bottle yet. :(
Oh it was worth it

Vodka - Grey Goose/Belvedere, more the former than the latter, or you could try their Grey Goose citron.
Tequila - Jose Cuervo Especial or Jose Cuervo Traditional
Scotch - hate the stuff, sorry.
Rum - Captain Morgan's PRIVATE STOCK

Since there seem to be few Scotch recommendations:

First, run away from Johnny Walker (sorry Feldenak)

Go for single malts:
Highland Park - great highlands scotch, my fav
Oban - also good, also pricey
Dalwhinnie 15 yr - stronger flavor, top notch but top price
Laphroaig - very strong flavor (darker and smoky, not for everyone)
Isle of Jura - less expensive, more mild, but still good
Glenfiddich - easiest to find and solid

Happy tasting!

Hehe, no prob. I don't personally drink scotch so I was only going by references from a friend of mine...he loves Johnny Walker when making his Rusty Nail. :)

Tangeray Vodka is the smoothest I have ever had. I prefer it over Grey Goose (especially for the price) and it is 10x better than that Absolut garbage.

This is the closest one that I agree w/ - alot of the other stuff is easily lower shelf Safeway acquirable.

Vodka - Grey Goose/Belvedere - although I've also had some "Van Gogh" which is damn good in a martini.
Tequila - it has to be Petron' Silver
Rum - Capt. Morgan's Private Stock

Mind you - this is not everyday stuff - you usually get it when you either 1) have a friend that happens to be a bartender 2) a special occassion, ie friend's b-day 3) you have money coming out of your ass like diarhea.

And yeah - I also don't like Scotch.
