I've never enjoyed any alcohol in a hot drink. I have no idea why but it's extremely disappointing.

Not even a holiday tom&jerry?

Gluhwein?

Bailey's an Coffee is great.

cream soda works pretty well too, if you're into that sort of thing.

That nade me snicker. My 2nd mil would always offer us cream soda. I think it was her greek accent that made if lol.

@fly Joe's done a brewdog order for the Christmas period including some tactical nuclear penguin.

Also so recommend reading the first page of this thread. So much change and so many memories!

BTW, we're brewing a DCB version of Black is Beautiful. Since it's being brewed by white people, we thought it would be cheeky to add Oreos.

So $13 which I realise is fuck all for a beer price for Americans. You people overpay in a tragic way.

Also having a bit of gin.

We don't drink spirits very often, so anything other than bourbon usually stays around for a while.

While clearing out my friend from Lanzarote's dead mother's house, we came across a mixed case of spirits in a wardrobe. As it could hardly be taken back as luggage, I ended up with it. On checking, its all 1 litre bottles from the 80s still sealed. A bottle of Smirnoff blue with the same labelling recently sold for £150 so that's not being opened. Unfortunately, apart from Southern Comfort, the rest consists of different Bacardis and Smirnoffs, a really crap brandy, a bottle of Pernod 45 (might be collectable) and Cointreau.

Ardbeg Uigeadail or Lagavulin 16 are safe choices in the right price range.

Never buy anyone a Lagavulin unless you know they'll like it. Its probably the most extreme malt as the barrels are under sea water twice a year hence the iodine/ seaweed tinge. Lots of people love malt whisky but draw the line at Lagavulin.

I like it, but you're right, proper Scotch whiskey is a touchy subject, even for people who like it.

And for what it's worth I've just opened a bottle of this from Latvia.

Riga Black Balsam Blackcurrant

This contemporary bitter from a classic brand features the original Riga Black Balsam as well as natural Nordic blackcurrant juice.

Seems they need some copyeditors!

... if you add tonic and ginger to an Old Fashioned glass and gently the muddle the bitter into you'll enjoy...

Most Islay whiskey does. I enjoy it, reminds me of fresh mowed lawn.

On the advice of my local liquor store owners, I went with Suntory Hibiki
I am not at all a Scotch fan, barely a Whiskey fan, but this stuff... Good lord it was good.

Gonna get white girl wasted today. Drinking Luksosowa verdker, cran juice, and lemonade, Quite refreshing. Luksosowa is triple distilled Polish potato vodka. Luksosowa means "luxury" in Polish. I shit you not. It's stupid cheap at the package store because they don't advertise. Try it. It's good.
