New to the Difford site. Very impressive, but a bit out of touch and esoteric for me. My home bar has several dozen bottles but I'm turned off that most recipes call for some obscure, impossible to find brand of the contents.

Welcome ;)
The site is for discerning drinkers, so many of us have quite a cabinet (I have around 200 open bottles and another 400 in the basement). However, for most cocktails you can easily substitute an ingredient with a different one of the same category, just click the list of similar products ("See more..."). Migth taste a little different, but you will usually get good rsults too.
