Chester40 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Guinness Extra Cold. Or lager...any...not bothered as long as its not alcohol free. I actually would rather drink tea, coffee, coke, fruit juice...than any alcoholic drink.. I drink to get drunk not for the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely I’ve come back to Harvey’s which has been sold to a company in the Philippines! Superb accompanying ice cream. Better off if not drink one glass annually from the same bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRam Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Been alcohol free for the last 7/8 years due to Pancreatitis, at the moment however, I am just having a pint glass with Jack Daniels and CD Ginger ale, and it tastes FANTASTIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll just have to keep testing! Glenmarangie do some nice single malts ,in different casks .Drambui is nice and one measure to two of scotch on the rocks neat referred to as a rusty nail ,just the spot ?

Anag Ram Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I picked up four bottles of Timothy Taylor Landlord from Tesco last week. If it's as nice as it is on draught I will be buying more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are both pleasant but whilst I used to love Drambuie, these days it is a little sweet for me. I'm working my way slowly through the ones you never find in a Supermarket-- general rule is I'm finding the more unpronounceable the name the nicer it is. Problem with that is repeat purchase is impossible! My Scots brother in law is no help as his accent is too strong for me to copy. One translated as "small white building where the two streams meet". Try asking for that in the Ashbourne Whisky shop. One I really dislike is Laphroiag. Like drinking cigarette ash. Incidentally I only ever add water, never ice to scotch. American Whiskey the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Some memories are best left in the past. A local pub had Brew 11 as a guest Beer apparently the same recipe as decades ago. Man it was bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Been mostly spirits (with or without low cal mixer) since I did the low carb diet a couple of years ago & stuck with the habit ever since. Now, I very rarely drink lager / cider & only normally keep a few cans in the house for visitors or if I have a night in the pub (them were the days) Occasional red wine - Apothic, mostly, or if it's a special occasion: Chateau Musar (Lebanese). Pricey, but lovely stuff. Current favourite: Kraken rum, neat. Lidl's version (Liberte) is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
