Never been much of a spirits man (well other than vodka in my student days). But I've recently happened upon the two hip flasks I own (gifts on my 18th and 21st birthdays so, er, nicely maturing). I figured I'd press one into service, but with what tipple?

So, go on. What's your little secret...?

Having said I'm not much of a spirits person, I do have 1/3 of a bottle of Kraken rum in the garage (almost 2 years old).

Whisky mac and rusty nails are popular.

EDIT: Bullshot for meat eaters.

Empty, but will be replenished with King's Ginger very soon. Or maybe Glayva.

Any decent brandy. If i had the money it'd be a nice bottle of Hine.

Rusty nail is a genius tipple.

Currently running sloe gin in one and bushmills 12 in another. Port is ace when chilled in my salopets ankle pocket.

Lagavulin 16

I was gifted a few (half) bottles last Christmas, which have been used to keep my STW hipflask topped up.

Best use was on Arran this summer. We were climbing a couple of remote classics (Sou'Wester Slabs and South Ridge Direct) and had an epic (ropes got stuck on a traverse and wouldn't pull through).

We topped out after about 13 hours and still had a 3 hour down climb and walk out to go. We were buzzing but exhausted.

My mate, almost unbelievably, said "I would kill for some Lagavulin", which is his favourite whisky.

I asked if the 16 would do, pulled the hipflask out of my pack and handed it to him 🙂

The look on his face was brilliant. Made the walk out more bearable!
