Re: The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?
The only thing I make is sloe gin but it does take a long time to mature. I make a batch each year and meanwhile, I am drinking last years batch. Since I sweeten it with sugar syrup instead of... |

Re: The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?
My main tipple. Usually on offer at one or more supermarkets at £25 instead of £33. My other half registered a Waitrose card and they sent a £12 off a £60 shop so that's £75 for 3 bottles less the... |

A nice G & T. Especially welcome because I have been on medication for the last month and haven't been allowed alcohol at all. |

Re: The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?
Aldi have an own label brand, Glen Marnoch which they use for a variety of bottlings. I bought the Islay version for £18.99. This is a vatted whisky but if you like Caol Ila this is as close as you... |

Every year I make sloe gin but its a little early yet for the sloes to ripen. I just cracked open the last bottle from last year. Absolute nectar. |

Re: The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?
Just back from 2 months in Turkey. I picked up a 1 ltr bottle of Ardbeg for €49 at the Dalaman duty free. That translates to £39. In Waitrose, a 70cl bottle costs £49. Bargain! |

Re: The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?
I'm not a fan of Highland whiskies as I prefer a peaty flavour, hence my liking for Ardbeg and Caol Ila. However, due to price I drink Bowmore more than any other. I have tried Glen Scotia, a... |

Re: The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?
I'm with LP here. Ardbeg is my absolute favourite followed closely by Caol Ila. Unfortunately, at over £40 a bottle, I can't really justify buying Ardbeg any more. |

2 glasses of cheap Turkish Rose with my dinner (quite good actually, very like a Zinfandel) followed by an Efes pilsner in a local bar. |

Currently on holiday in Turkey so it's Efes pilsner today. Back home, it's Adnams Broadside for me followed by almost any other Adnams brew. |
