Bourbon, Rum and other deliciousness

[jonnyb]

Over the last 5 0r so years I've really got into Bourbon (can be a bit of a pain getting hold of good stuff and we pay a premium in the UK compared to the US) and just starting to get into nice rum. Anyone else enjoy a tipple? I've never been a scotch fan, though I do quite like some of the Irish whisky. Anyone got any recommendations.

i am partial to a good rum... there is a group of blokes round this way who make their own spirits, own gin, rum and vodka in the case of one who is estonian.
I have a weakness for a good cocktail with rum in.. cant be a mailbu sunrise cocktail on a warm evening.

I like a nice sipping bourbon or rum, maybe with ice. My logic being, if it's nice and a bit pricey I won't drink too much (quality over quantity and all that). It doesn't always go to plan!

Bajan Estate rum, Wray & Nephews white rum, Appleton Estate Rum. The first can be bought exclusively at M&S only and is authentic, the latter is a very poor shadow of authentic Jamaican/Trindadian rum. However a very good tipple nonetheless. I enjoy my Appleton in guinness known as a steel bottom in the JA community.

Pirate's Grog Number 13 wicked bit of kit. Edited before because I remembered the Rum, but had to google it to find its right name, soon as I saw the bottle memories come flooding back.

after a session with ex navy mate 5 years ago. 10 rounds of Wood's Navy Rum (doubles) each chased by a pint of JW Lees bitter, in the RAF club @ Colwyn Bay, picking him up off the floor 3 or 4 times, never touched rum since.

Stolichnaya Vodka, when I was posted to Moscow the Local Guys gave me a welcome party, Vodka right out of the freezer, on an empty Stomach, not a good idea, they reckoned Vodka unfrozen so to speak was a ------- drink, I likened it ti Vodka Treacle.

I like rum, whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka (the non anti-freeze type), brandy, sherry, tequila (only tried it a few times), cognac (only as a gift). Ohh and beer & wine, and cider. Even like that Limoncello. Don't dig champagne though, vastly overrated.

Forgot about Amaretto, that's tasty too.

So a bit of a P55s head on the quiet?
