dfk41 I do not drink, even though I used to be a Publican many moons ago. My tipple of choice, is the virtually sugar free version of Vimto! I like it in iced water and drink 4 to 6 pints a day…..no beer can touch it!

Then you do drink…Vimto is a drink..I never mentioned alcoholic.. Beer, Cider, Wine, camomile tea, fruity stuff, super smoothies. This is a place to start a thread about it. So someone might start a specific wine thread in this tag area.

    Brockmans Gin with Fever Tree tonic - one of the better gins out there.

    dfk41 what is the most expensive, or best bottle of anything you have drunk or owned?

    For my 50th birthday (many years ago) my son bought me a bottle of Lagavulin 10 year old single malt whisky, it cost him £70. Best I’d ever tasted up to then was some of the Laphroaig whiskys. The Lagavulin beat the lot and remains the best for me. However, I no longer drink alcohol.

        Just had couple of gin cocktails called “Fine & Dandy” and “a Gimlet”. Now I am having a bit of leftover Xmas prosecco which is a bit flat 😕

        LMSC I’ve just had a brew dog triple hazy too. A good way to start some new year celebrations

            hornbyben Hazy Jane and triple hazy are my favs. The next couple of them are Beer 52 and Bevertown’s Neckoil

                LMSC I do like a New England IPA. I’ve also been enjoying some milk stouts from brew dog

                  I’m gonna weaken soon and open that bottle of beer I have in the fridge!

                    Flat_Eric did a whiskey trail way back. Blagged our way into Knockandoo distillery at 9.30am on a miserable February morning and surprisingly they let us in. Was shown round even though the distillery wasn’t opened to the public. Then offered a dram. Manager opened an impressive cabinet and my eyes were drawn to a bottle of some trendy spirit based drink whose name escaped me. Drinking a single malt on site at 9.30am was a memorable experience.

                    Manager asked what malts I liked. I replied Isley malts especially Lagavulin. He mused for a moment and replied softly - ‘a wee too much phenol for me.’

                        Systemic I am partial to Campbeltown and Islay malts so you are in good company. Drinking some nice Ardbeg and Springbank this evening 😀

                            Dom Perignon … but it is probably my #1 memory because I won it in a bet over a tennis match with a friend whom I had never played before but who was super confident he was going to win. Liquor won in a bet always tastes better.

                            Love Springbank. Not easy to come by - like Campbeltown, it’s triple distilled - fiery but still refined. Prefer the 10 yr old to the 12.

                              I remember rolling out of “The Whisky Experience” in Edinburgh at midday and going back to the hotel to sleep it off. Ahh, the good old days!

                                  I just realised, in my senior years…I am a lightweight as far as booze goes!
