Calvados. Get the good stuff, though! The more "rustic" Calvados will put hairs on your eyeballs!

Nick, TT - I've never been much of a gin drinker so I'm not about to start harvesting sloe berries for gin-making... but what does sloe gin taste like really?
/edit. apparently we have some sloe gin on the shelf, will report back later
I may go for some port though... love it.
Calvados is something else I've never really tried, but sounds excellent in principle
p.s. the Non-whisky-ness is a specific request due to the inscription involving fast friends and one of them being a non-whisky drinker!

I'm a non whisky drinker - in fact the smell of some is pretty close to getting my gag reflex going, however for some totally obscure reason I like whisky mac, it just seems to smooth and mellow it and turn it into something that gives you the warm inner glow carry on

a nice dark rum

Sloe gin generally tastes nothing like gin - it's quite sweet and fruity, with a hint of almond if your recipe is successful I believe. This year I've made blackberry and ginger gin as well. It's bloody lovely

Killepitsch
Or Jagermeister
Will warm you up

A decent rum, something like a Barbancourt 8 year old or Diplomatico Reserva 12yo works well for me, warming without being a whisky.

Jagermister works for me, goes well with the jelly babies. Im also a fan of the cheep tequila minuters, the ones with the red hats.

The only thing to put in a hip flask is malt whiskey.Your friend needs an education on the finer things in life - like mtb'ing and malt whiskey. Try a Talisker or Laphroaig or Glenfarclas 10 year old, or go for the slightly less peaty Glenmorangie or Glenfiddich.A proper drink rather that will warm the cockles on a cold night's ride.

Wow, I don't know a friend that would stop me putting a single malt in the hip flask!
Maybe you should rethink your friendship?
