Sick of all this bloody whisky, beer and wine chatter [emoji4]
Here a tasty little number from Aldi for £29.99 you’ll get a very refined Villa Lobos Tequila Reposado.

Great to just enjoy on it’s own, it’s a class act.

Haha... Love it, Tony!:D
Actually, I rather like the look of that. Do you chill it? I'm thinking, put some chunky glasses in the freezer, so they come out nice and cold and cloudy, shove some ice in and a slice of lime, and pour the Tequila over it... :)
Marco.
Have a bottle of this in the cupboard

These are all daily drinks, nothing to expensive .
I like dry whiskey so Bourbon and Rye are my usual drink.
I keep a $50.00 limit per bottle .
Grant,
Pendleton 1910 12 year Rye .
It took drinking it straight, with a splash of water and with a couple cubes of ice to find out it is best with a single ice cube.
Ice brings out the Smokiness and with out thinning it.
I really like that it is smoother than most Rye whiskeys.
It is more expensive than Crown Royal Rye but about the same in quality. Sadly Crown Royal Northern Rye is hard to find right now but I can still get regular crown Royal blended whiskey easily and thats not a bad way to go either .
That may be a good shout Marco. Haven’t tried it with anything yet, just getting to know it. It has a very silky and quite refined character, only a light oiliness too. It’s lovely to actually just taste as is, will be interesting to try different temperatures.

got some pendelton 6 here, not opened tho. crown royal northern is a nice drink but quite expensive here.. over £30 a half bottle. ive got some jackie D rye in stock too.
also have a 2/3 bottle size of Swedish Spirit of Hven Hvenus Rye here too.. it gets a great rep but ive not tried it yet.. it was a treat to myself and about 50 notes.
strange being a scot, with a huge amount of gods water here on my doorstep that i dain to drink foreign muck :eyebrows: a\s its oft called here, but i love bourbon and rye
a good inexpensive Scotch would be Glen Grant 10.. over here its under £30 and their Major's reserve is even cheaper. tomatin legacy is nice too, as is 10 yr old glenmorangie original. oh and glengoyne if you can get it...might be a bit more expensive tho. the sexton from ireland might be cheaper over there too. nice drop that and a crazy bottle
a few of my opened bottles

Lol - love it... That's better than most bars or hotels!!:lol::eyebrows:
My wine 'cellar' in that respect is similar (more diverse selection, better quality) than that contained in most good restaurants! Currently I've got around 150 bottles, including table and dessert wines - and then there's the collection of aperitifs & digestifs, which numbers around 50-60 bottles, plus mixers for cocktails!:D
We're not alchies, lol - just enjoy having access to a nice selection of drinks, should we take the notion for something, plus we like to entertain....
That's why when we built our new kitchen, I made sure there was an area for me to use as a 'bar' for preparing drinks, along with a big cupboard to house all the different glasses! Plus, it meant that I could keep out of Del's way while she was cooking, as we'd be at opposite ends of the kitchen:)
Marco.
Cool beans, mate. It's good to enjoy something nice that you're passionate about - otherwise what's the point in living! :exactly:
Marco.
a list of my unopened whisky stuff.. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing
Enjoying this currently (a bit too much TBH) :lol:
https://i.postimg.cc/7YB8yD1Z/5-DBE2...D1-B60-B87.jpg
a nice drop, glenrothes...yum
Yeah; really enjoying it Grant.
Haven't had their stuff before; bought it from the Dunkeld Whisky Shop when we were up there in Feb; my brother had just landed, so we had a walk into Dunkeld in the snow, some lunch and then went to look the shop over as it was only a few months old. Some cracking stuff in there, gave us lots of tastes too, so came away with a nice sherried drop (the Glenrothes) and a young (only 15 year old haha) , sprightly and very green apple tasting peated bottle of Springbank (which I've supped already) haha :D
It was this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Springbank-...E3ENVS1HH0V2E2
Drop of buff tonight
Prefer bourbon in a heavy base 2oz shot glasshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...619882f905.jpg
You have an amazing selection , I am ruined for ever on Scotch , in 1992 I could get a bottle of Mc Callan 21 year single malt for $75.00 a bottle or $7.00 a shot. Now for the same bottle $1,000 !!!

Scotch prices just exploded here 15 years ago and never came back down.
I used to treat my self to a bottle once every month or two . Lincoln Hill Golf course had very good bottle prices.
I will drink Johnny Walkers Black label once in a while but it is just not the same.
There is nothing better than a really mellow scotch .
Been a lovely day.. Mate gave me over a lager, so first beer in about 2/3 years
Skolhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b4ee87b709.jpg
Lol - he's got sophisticated tastes, eh?:D;)
Still the gesture was nice. Enjoy!:cool:
Marco.
He doesn't usually drink beer much, as he is a wine guy [emoji23]
Bucky, but it's not available. Yay!
Lol - it shows! He could've brought round a nice bottle of wine then instead... Must've thought you wouldn't have been cultured enough to appreciate it?:D;)
For me, pretty much all lager [not BEER though, I *must* make that distinction, as that's a different animal] made in the UK tastes like pishwater... Lager, or more correctly, Pils, is a foreign thing. We simply don't do it well, in the way that we can produce some truly outstanding, world-class real ales (beer), so I wouldn't touch any of the former with a bargepole.
I guess, as ever, it boils down to whether you drink lager (Pils) to savour and enjoy it, in moderation, and therefore appreciate it when it's done well, or simply neck it to get pished, in which case quantity (and price) will always outweigh quality.
Marco.
Lol - that doesn't surprise me! Thing is though, it was a nice gesture, and the fact that he was thinking about you meant far more:)

a quick dram before my rest
was good.. having anm Aberfeldy now:eyebrows:
One of my pet hates.
For a few years I couldn't understand why it was that when on holiday, I would quite enjoy a lager, but back home it was so bland. I then found out that something like 90% of lager sold in supermarkets is actually brewed in the UK.
If I buy lager now I always check the small print :cool:
I don't like British brewed lager, it really is crap.
I noticed the local shop was empty earlier, so I popped in and treated myself to eight cans of Perla Mocna a Polish strong lager, at 7.6% it packs a decent punch, tastes nice too. I shall have a couple tonight, not had a beer for ages! Cheers!! :cool:

Indeed, and it's also why the likes of Stella Artois, enjoyed on draught in its native country of Belgium, is a totally different animal to the cack sold in cans here in supermarkets, under the same name, ditto Kronenbourg, San Miguel, Becks, etc..
It's also why I tend to avoid those (the more mainstream types of lager or beer) and opt for something more specialist, produced in smaller quantities. For example, right now I'm enjoying this superb, beautifully creamy craft beer from Poland [tip: craft beers, from ANY country, are often where it's *at*]:

...in readiness for tonight's repast, which will be homemade lamb kebabs, infused in fresh mint, cooked on the BBQ over Mesquite oak hickory woodchips, served with an assortment of Greek salads:cool:
Marco.
I'm starting on a dozen bottles of Green King IPA and a dozen bottles of Old Speckled Hen I picked up today. :)
Grant,
Now here is your real cowboy whiskey. (Kentucky Rye)
Ice is a must , I could totally see Jack Palance drinking this from a tin cup next a camp fire . Pares nice with beef Jerky.
It really has a strong rye flavor and every shot after the first gets better and better. :eyebrows:
Not a cheap Rye $30.00 to $40.00 a bottle . It is the very creamy and stays on your pallet, it screams Rye flavor.
As I had to explain to Nosheen , My friend and I did not really drink that much, you have to take into account evaporation.
A different tattoo of a hot girl hidden in every bottle .
It dose not have the smoothness of real Cuban rum but its close enough you can drink it over ice and not so expensive that it can't be mixed with Coke.
Used to get good sailor here but they changed the recipe and last one I tried wasn't good. That looks more like the old stuff.
Nice drop if it is.
Not been on song today.. A bit lightheaded.. Kill or cure..
A nice drop thishttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...786e56affd.jpg
Nice it's been awhile since I've had a good scotch.
Maybe you got a bad barrel of sailor,sold to soon .
I have had this happen to me with other brands.
Irish malt tonight.
Nice drop for not a lothttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e59de4d20d.jpg
A miniature tonight.. Glendronach 15 revival.
Lots of sherry and Xmas fruits on the nose.
A nice oily mouthfeel with liquorice in there too maybe orange in the finish.
Quite like this, fairly complex and yet upfront dram.
Might have to buy a bottle
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...07b0e124e7.jpg
A new bottle today..
Gelstons 12yr old Rum finished Irish Whiskey.
6 months in rum casks have imparted a little nautical slant to this.. Quite oaky, this Belfast whiskey. A bit of lemon and possibly other fruits too. A bit of banana coming through now too.
Finish is quite warm and long.
edit.. it likes a drop of water:eyebrows:
a question for goraman, jeff.. what do you think of Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon??
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6fbb75ba07.jpg
So not too bad, but really improves with water if you get any. It's often on offer.. Not worth full price.
