Seat68 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Bailey's starter, now on to Jura. Amongst the booze this year was a bottle of Woodford Reserve and a nice Irish whiskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 This was my Christmas gift to myself. At 60% I may have to temper it with a dash of water, but it's **** lovely stuff. Big hits of oak, and just the right amount of peat for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted December 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 25, 2021 Currently finishing the Layer Cake previous mentioned by Alex Also had a glass of this most British pop. Its about the only day of the year I'll drink sparkling wine as its not really my thing but its a bit of a tradition at the gift sesh. it's odd, whilst it's not my thing, I can tell good from bad and this is very good (and English so more bang for buck) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Glass of this with dinner. My parents quite regularly drink it now in the evenings. I asked them, who do they think they are, Posh and Becks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Glass of Asti with Xmas lunch and then a shot of a rum liquor called Christmas spirit mixed with coke. Absolutely lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Will be posting a few BC beers, mostly from one brewery. Had this last night: An apricot, peach and lemon zest sour from Abbotsford. Those are three ingredients I truly love, so I was somewhat surprised not to be blown away by this. It started out okay and then grew on me, and by the end I was quite enjoying it, but I still feel it could have had a stronger taste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Weren’t sure if I’d drink today but already had a gin in my coffee. I’ve drank every day since I’ve broken up from work Tuesday which is very unlike me. Saying that I’ve not got pissed and I’ve enjoyed it more . Steady few today probably then wife’s birthday tomorrow with buffet and friends and family round , so will have a few tomorrow also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Got a bunch of beers from one brewery. First: Str8 Flexin' Imperial Stout from Twin Sails in Port Moody. It was actually not the one in the picture here but a different version in a smaller black can, the difference being that the one I had was aged in bourbon barrels. Weighing in at a solid 11.3% it's a slow sipper for me, but this one was absolutely delicious. Just notes of bourbon and vanilla all over the place. A fine dark stout indeed. I have a couple more that are variations on the theme which I'll hopefully be reviewing over the next few days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
