In Gibraltar as my brothers getting wed tomorrow,and just seen a bottle of Johny Walkers rare blue label,single malt for £254......yes only £254. Cheers!!!Blue Label is NOT a single malt. None of the Johny Walker 'colours' are a single malt, all are blends with varying amounts of grain and malt whisky.

We once ran a blind tasting of Blue Label against an Oddbins own brand (it was a Littlemill) single malt. The Oddbins won, with the JW being considered too harsh on the palate b many. :smt077

Expensive does not equal quality!

[Trev B]

Sorry about that,as I don't drink fire water must of got it mixed up with some of the cheaper 33-34 year old stuff at £150+ a bottle,if I knew how to send pictures(I've tried a thousand times I would)!!!

[littleoldman2]

Theakstones OP with mussels. Love them both.

[Trev B]

Argus larger(I'm staying in La Linea,as it's 1/3 price of the rock),69 cents a litre bottle from Lidle,cheap and quite reasonable!!!

[Brettus]

Coca cola from a glass bottle, just so you don't all think I'm just drinking alcohol :-) (and NO, it's not a mixer :-P)

World of coca cola was interesting to taste the different varieties that coke make, kinda hoped they'd have the different cokes from around the world though, Mexico still use sugar in theirs, Pepsi throwback with real sugar was nice too, not as artificial as Pepsi often tastes.

Anyway, I digress, carry on good chaps :-)

Here what I picked up on the way home from a long day at work. Tastes better than the meal I picked to go with it

I'm sure cucumber should never be associated with drink, I've always been suspicious of Pimms. Mind you, I'm currently drinking Fosters, so probably have no right to comment.

We've not tried it in a cocktail yet, but I've just bottled one litre of Limoncello. This one was steeping for two months and despite the lemons not touching the vodka, it had turned the most beautiful pale yellow. The syrup added is made with raw cane sugar, so it's now a dark brown.

We can't wait to try it, but the deal is that it doesn't get touched until our summer holiday in Lyme Regis. The label will read Lymeoncello!

Had it in the U.S. and finally saw it for sale over here. I rather like it. Don't like JD oddly enough but this is more liqueur.

Night all, the grindstone beckons :-)

I've been given a bottle of Jim Beam Honey by my old man, never been into drinking Bourbon really (real ale is my tipple) or shorts for that matter. However I have to say as an introduction to that style of drink it was lovely, very smooth and the sweet aftertaste of honey was very pleasant. I'll see what it's like on the rocks tonight

Cheers!

Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey is great as well. Very sweet. Drinking Bulmers Black Cherry cider tonight.

Slightly off subject but not really DJ went to a Costa Coffee meeting today do you know that the most popular drink from a Costa machine in America is hot chocolate with added syrup and a spoon of sugar, how gross is that. I think that I will stick to my vodka and tonic.

In the colder months, there's nothing like Hot Chocolate with a dash of caramel syrup, especially at bed time. But I do have a very sweet tooth :mrgreen:

I always get a good night sleep after one of these, better than vodka & tonic, which I like too :-D

Estrella in Mallorca :)

[Brettus]

Picked up a smoothie maker/blender today. Decided I'm not going to make fruity stuff though as that's way too healthy. My first creation was a salted caramel malted milkshake.
My second was this:
