Favourite Tipple No.2(Try again)

[Diane1]

Ok you lovely people, whats your favourite tipple. When i was in Somerset last weekend I pick up a lovely little cider brandy called Somerset Royal that would give Calvados a run for its money, and its 42%.

My personal favourites are:-

1) Glenfidich

2) Brandy

3) JD & Coke

 

[LMH]

Mine are:

Champagne

Cava

Not keen on much else really.

[ColinA]

Stewarts cream of the barley for me

Colin.

 

[emmerson2]

Laphroiag, all by itself.

Q. what can you add to a glass of Laphroiag?

A. Another one!

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Excuse the spelling but the best whiskey is Connemara Whiskey stilled in peat. It is a single malt and just about the best I have tasted. If you should try it take it neat as it would be criminal to mix it with anything.

 

[emmerson2]

If you like peaty whiskey, have you tried Laphroiag? there's so much peat, it's almost brown!!

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Emmerson as I believe you live in south Wales we should try and organise a whisk(e)y sampling day so that all GOOD whiskies can be considered. Perhaps Dianne could arrange for Tesco to sponser the day with free samplers from the store with guest whiskies thrown in for good measure.

 

[ThePlotter]

Well favourite is either Pomerol or St Emellion Grand Cru Classe,followed by a good Chateau Neuf Du Pape.

Whiskey and good malt.

That should read Whiskey any good malt.

 

[emmerson2]

Colin, I'm up for that!!!

 

[Guest]

Just a small point.

Scotch whisky is spelt thus, if it is spelt as 'whiskey' then it is from Ireland or the US, or anywhere else. Trademarks etc.

By the way, I enjoy all of them.

 

[ThePlotter]

I dont live in Wales but can I be included as I went to Rhyl once!

 

[emmerson2]

PS Colin, there's a new CL opened this year on the a48 at the top of the Tumble nr Culverhouse Cross. That would be a good location for the whisk(e)y day, cos it's not far from Tesco's tent, so not too far to carry the bottles. Is it going to be invitation only, or will we be letting the hoi-poloi in as well?

 

[ThePlotter]

Emmerson if this goes ahead we could bring the Smokaloo and hovercrap.

 

[emmerson2]

Scotch lad, that's why the letter "e" is in brackets in our postings.Colin prefers his with an "e", I prefer it without, but I drink it with an "e" if it's offered, I just don't buy it.

 

[emmerson2]

Don't think you'd be allowed to join us, Plotter, as you don't have a very patriotic background. Besides, I think we'll restict it to GoC. Btw, have you got an export licence for your Smokaloo? And also, when do I get a dividend on my shareholding?

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

Scrumpy, either Stowford Press, G.L. or Strongbow.

I don't like dry ciders though.

Next favourite, Carlsberg Export or Stella Artois.

You all can have my share of the wine or whisky, I'd rather drink Gee's Linctus :O)

 

[ThePlotter]

Emmerson,We have never been unpatriotic to the Welsh so please I promise to be on best behaviour and not lose my head!GoC got me with that one.

Yes export licence all above board and your dividend is due in the nexr few months when the MD Colin of Bridgend finishes his travels and gets back to work.

 

[Val & Frank]

Please note No BAD Scotch Whisky only some are better than others !!!!

[colin(bridgend)]

I have to admit that as far as blended Scottish whisky is concerned Tesco's own brand is very good value for money - approx.

 

[cokey1970]

I don't particularly go for spirits so it has to be real ale for me every time.

Particular favourites are beers from Titanic, Burton Bridge and St. Peter's Brewery.

[Val & Frank]

Hi Diane,

Val is a Morgan Spiced Rum and Coke,

Me Glen Mhor Single Highland Malt just looking at a bottle I have here.

Bottled from Cask No 1970 1164/1166 by No 14 Customs and Excise Bond Glasgow.

Bottle Numbers 1408 and 1409 off 1926. I got them for a present for my 50th Birthday 10 years ago, and said I would open them on my 60th which is in 12 days time so now they are 35 years old pity they don't mature in the bottle.

Val & Frank

 

[Diane1]

If you lot like a good single malt, then you need to talk to Brian(St.Albans). He told me last night he has two very rare and very exspensive bottles of single malt.

So am i invited to this shin-dig?

.

 

[Diane1]

Sorry should read Frank! Going very red now.

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Dianne you are ignoring my plea for a free bottle of Tesco's best as a result of my advertising on a posting above. You must realise that I am now retired and have to try to get my spirits by fair means or foul so if Tesco wont budge I will have no alternative than to take my custom to that other well known store at Sarn Park and see if they will bite. Therefore it will be on your conscience if Tesco go bankrupt at my lack of custom and those others make handsome profits hehehehe
