moving away from whisky that i know is well trodden here on STW.
what else would keep the winter frost away from the fingers and toes , post ride of course.

rum.

+1, got a taste for this in Cuba: http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-4488.aspx

Morgans spiced rum. Goes with me to the coppice.
Its a cheap spirit but warm and sweet when you need it.

Rum for me. Can’t stand Whisky. Something nice and dark or nicely spiced.

Bison grass vodka– easy on the throat, warm on the belly

Sloe gin for me

Bison grass vodka– easy on the throat

last time I had some bison I couldnt feel my throat for a week!

This weekend will feature Calvados.

+1 nickjb

Mount Gay or Appletons rum..uuuuummmmmmmmmmm 🙂

+2 nickjb

Amaretto is also good this time of year, its like an alcoholic energy gel 🙂

I drink like a woman…

Oh and if you can take a little extra weight, a flask of hot mulled cider goes down a treat!

Genepi – French herby Alpine liqeur.

for a change, how about Jagermeister, schnapps or maybe grappa.

Poteen with brandy balls!

try sailor jerry’s much nicer drink

I had some cherry vodka a while back but haven’t been able to find it in the shops recently.

Disaronno is in mine at the minute.

Not normally a hip flasker but when I do sambuca or southern comfort, I can’t drink the usual hip flask material.

Aye, I’d rather drink Night Nurse than some of that other guff 😉

Whisky Mac is a nice winter tipple for the old bike rides…

Is a bit of whisky allowed (alright quite a lot!) – Rusty Nail for me if not a malt.

I might experiment with rum this year though. My hip flask only comes out on rides between xmas and new year and fly fishing with my dad (he died this year so comes vicariously via the hip flask instead!)

Port normally.

Remy Martin VSOP,or sloe gin.

Ooops,double post.

Out shooting the other night and we had some damson gin….. bleedin lovely and frankly the only excuse for damsons to exist.
Another goody is The Kings Ginger

Either home made Sloe Gin, or blackberry Whisky.

either my Tayberry Vodka, or Blackberry brandy this year….

Chartreuse.

+1 for Calvados

Although some marc de muscat warms the cockles very nicely.
As for genepy, there’s a reason why they infuse the base alcohol with foul tasting herbs #notfittorunacaron 😆

Vodka and Apple juice! Don’t knock it till you try it

Baileys hot chocolate in the Thermos for me last night – yummy!

DrP

Stohl.

Arran Gold is much like Baileys, but nicer IMHO, not sure its a hip flask material though……
lethal though if you accidentilly didnt realise you drank 2/3 bottle in an hour.

might have to start trying some Rum then in mine….

I know it says no whiskey, but not exactly straight malts…

+1 for Rusty nail.

Fireball cinnamon whiskey is an interesting winter warmer.

Also like a bit of run, dark navy rum or Morgans spiced

Jagermiester.
Tastes like cough medicine, but thats good in winter right?

On a bonfire-nightride a few years back, hip-flasks full of this…

… combined with large fireworks, and a good few beers caused predictable mayhem. You know who you are Graham!

Port & Brandy 50/50 measure.

Keeps me lovely and warm.
