Apologies if this exists already, I searched but couldn't find anything.
Let's see what you have for commercial/bought spirits.
In our house it's basically all whisky. I like to drink it, my wife likes to collect it.
Here is my current collection:
And hers:
Hers tends to be pricier stuff then mine, I look for good value that I plan on drinking. She collects harder to find stuff mostly.

I have a 50L pot still with dual Liebig condenser.
I typically make Whisky, grappa, and brandy.

Re: Let's see your commercial spirits collection
My collection is a half bottle of crown out in the shop thats been there for ...... hell I dont know how long. I cant drink crown anymore. Then a bottle of Jim Beam Devils cut somewhere in the kitchen.
I do have a damn good collection of empty bottles all over the place from years ago or ones I find.
I have considered going to the store once a month to get something different just to screw with my taste buds.

Re: Let's see your commercial spirits collection
Most of my current 'collection' came from a bag full of part bottles someone sold me for a token sum when he had to go back to Aussie and couldn't take them with him. It's mostly still in a cupboard in the shed where I put it when we got home.
Some of them are great, some were so so and have been relegated to my Whatever Jar of leftover products and samples that aren't unpleasant, but aren't exciting, along with some new and old oak staves. Some have been given away to friends who liked them more than we did. It's been an interesting exercise. We probably still haven't tasted them all yet
Our drinks cabinet contains quite a few bottles that have been bought in duty free shops but haven't been opened yet. We mostly fill our duty free allowances for our friends now.

Most are well past the shoulder. The ones that aren't, I chalk up to a learning experience.
