Absolute science law copper bottomed gold plated fact guarantee. My throat would be inflamed after two.

Not putting that in unpopular opinions because its not an opinion its a stone cold science law fact. Absolutely. Bushmills, Jamesons, Hibiki, Johnnie Walker Black (and Blue) are better than some of single malts i've tasted. Glenfiddich for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Due to my wife someone who doles out contracts, she, and by she I mean me, gets a load of good whiskey from contractors. I am swimming with more 12 year olds than Rolf Harris. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Ice Cider from Vermont. They press the apples when frozen. It apparently makes sweeter, denser juice, which they age in used bourbon barrels. It's a dessert drink, a 2oz pour in a snifter. Very pleasing if not totally satisfying. It would be good with a simple dessert like creme brulle or apple pie. Edited December 28, 2019 by maqroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Irish whiskey was my gateway to whiskey. I loved the smokiness. Tonight, no lessons learned from last night I have started on the Hendricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've usually used Beermerchants.com for my annual Christmas selection, but this time used beerofbelgium.com. The former is good for a wide international selection but more expensive as it's all UK imported, the latter great if you like your Belgians. As it's a warehouse in Flanders it's very cheap for the beer, but the postage is by weight - a mate and I paid €20 for our joint 50 bottle shipment. Or if you're local to Brum (I'm not anymore), I've been led to believe that Stirchley Wines have it. Where it probably costs £5 for 33cl rather than €3.60. Worth every penny, either way. Edit - I've just remembered, The Wellington and Post Office Vaults both have it. Although the last time I was in the latter was that horrendous friendly against Parma in 2014. So I assume they still do. Edited December 29, 2019 by ml1dch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 It’s NYE and I just heard myself volunteer to be dad taxi. No pre planning, just said it. Out it popped like an unexpected burp. So that’s me on the Camembert and diet coke this evening and then trying to calculate at 1:30am if its now too late to start drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a drink since Derby at Wembley but if I do it's The Glenlivet or GTFO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the Villa fans in all the world, you're the one I'd love to live next door to. Clynelish 14 Ralfy review one of my favourite YouTube channels, you may be already aware of Ralfy, if not..... enjoy.
