It’s a Ledaig. Pronounced ‘Lechig’ for the heathans. Very nice it is too. Sharp and peppery, no water or ice mind.

What about yourself?

Sheppy’s Vintage reserve Oak Mature Somerset Cider, not too sweet and not too dry. And I’m pie-eyed

Hooray! 😉

2 pint bottles of Doom Bar

Fullers Honey Dew, then Hobgoblin, then Dalmore Gran Reserva, then tipped dalmore into goblin (sorry) but was a nice rich combo.. next is a trooper ale by Robinsons… (its been a long day)

Excellent,all aboard the pie eyed bus. 🙂

Gin and Red Bull.

started with a glass of French Cabernet Sauvignon.

then a bottle of self-brewed Old Peculier – and very nice it was too. next up, Fullers Black Cab Stout. then bed I think. or maybe an Old Golden Hen

A tasty Rioja from Lidl. Unfortunately the bottle is now empty and I’ve got a 2.5k swim in the morning. …

Not my picture, but a few of these

Strathisla 1970 now!

Thanks to a quick incursion into my local Tescos for some apples t’night i happened to find myself in the alcohol aisle and chanced upon a Glenfiddich 15yr old Solera reserve for £30 (£7 off) which thanks to the sherry and bourbon casks has put me right into the xmas mentality, fruitcake, spices, xmas pudding flavours and i’m onto my third large helping….burp!….- obviously with a touch of room temp filtered water to aid the dispersion of flavour and aroma as i swill my rather large tumbler in front of the open stove….malt whisky, medjool dayes with a lovely caramel flavour, music, a good book and the ipad on the side for minor distractions….ahh bliss indeed.

Hoegaarden.

A bottle of La Vielle Ferme 13.5% (On offer in the Co-Op £5.99 IIRC)
Followed by the last of my Bowmore Cask Strength 🙁 56% (Birthday present)

Not riding tomorrow, baking bread instead 😀

Ruddles County.

And just about to have a glass of Tesco Australian wine 🙂

obviously with a touch of room temp filtered water to aid the dispersion of flavour

A man who knows his stuff.

Only some ordinary Jura, having finished a very nice Dalmore Cigar Cask the other weekend. (Need to replace with something special… )

Now your talking. Remininsent of the much loved Krononberg blanc.

Enjoy!

I had a bottle of that Ledaig last week and it was nice.
Just had a Hobgoblin, then a King goblin, Then a Black bottle to finish off.

Fullers Honey Dew, then Hobgoblin, then Dalmore Gran Reserva, then tipped dalmore into goblin (sorry) but was a nice rich combo.

You drink what you like mate! When I drank coffee with milk I used to love a Laphroig flat white.

Proper ish cider from just down the road

K cider made in shepton gives me banging hanger overs though

I could quite go a gin as it goes, not a drop in tho. Its like the third world here sometimes.

Stella.

Their cigar malt is outstanding, i’ve tried many others but there is something special about this bottling that is hard to find elsewhere – the distillery has had a very troubling time over the past 30 years and it’s utterly shameful the way these scottish national treasures are bought and sold on the open market to the highest bidder, i dunno what/who owns it now but i hope they have some kind of continuity in their future to look forward to.

I dunno if it’s generally available but i recently got given a bottle of Bruichladdich Sherry Classic and it is sumptious in drinking, very big mouthful of spice and fruit flavours with only the barest hint of the fabled islay peat on the aftertaste.

I managed to get my dad a bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan reserve at auction which is apt as he first met my mother whilst in his fishing boat off the coast of Jura in 1971, she got into difficulty sailing/messing about across the Corryvreckan area back in the early 70’s, he (sort of) rescued/escorted her back into Crinan and the rest is history so to speak (here i iam) so i hope they’ll enjoy it for a xmas treat.

Hope i’ll enjoy it as well 😀

Not my usual but nice and light with a touch of citrus. Splash of Highland Spring to release the flavours

I do like to experiment 😉 Got a Wasmunds barrel that I first used to age their own spirit, then next was vodka, now I mess around ageing different malts, can make for some interesting results! And that sounds interesting; 😀

Copperhead pale ale

Although

Gin and Red Bull.

Is something that I feel I need to try

Home made White Russians. Oooooh yeah! 🙂
