Was it nice, then? Once I drink some of the Fino sherry we've got here, I'll get some:)

Anyway, popped into Waitrose the other day to get some of their advertised Nocciolato Panettone, as I wanted to try it and compare it with the plain version. This is the Nocciolato: https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/produc...-705250-705251

Goes great with some muscat-based pudding wine, such as Vin Santo!:)

Popped into Lidl this afternoon, and they're selling one of the most GOREGOUS examples of the above known to man, for a Billy Bargain £11.99. It's called Passito di Pantelleria. Details of its history here: https://www.wineguy.co.nz/index.php/...di-pantelleria

Also fantastic with some Christmas pudding! Seriously folks, snap this up while stocks last, as it's very hard to find, and usually MUCH more expensive!!:)

It's excellent. Not cheap but worth it as a treat.
The top japan whiskies are good. One I've got is similar style of jar.
It's blended malt and grain but nicely done. Better than the old trademark x from eadies

Noted mate, one will be purloined in due course!:D

I never have gained a taste for bourbon - it just tastes like very poor quality whisky to me :(.

If that shares the same characteristics as the Hibiki 17 you are in for a treat. I was lucky enough to sample the 17 and it was very good. It made me more aware of Japanese whisky. The only problem.is that the 17 YO is prohibitively expensive, IMHO.

A few of my collection of whiskys and other boozy stuff..lol
