I know that just like me you like a drop of bourbon every now and again and I've noticed that Sainsburys have Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire knocked down to £16 so I'm thinking of trying it,have you had it yet,I tried the Jacks Honey not long back and I wasn't to keen on it as it was far too sweet for my liking so I thought that I would ask you before I bought it and what about Gentleman Jack,is that worth the extra money?

I have had a bottle from Tesco, I had the price checked at the checkout, you will be surprised how often you get charged the full price. That's the whisky. I don't know what Tennessee fire is. I had my first taste of the honey in Los Angeles some years ago, and it always reminds me.

I have it in case I run low on other booze. Dark rum is nice, and vodka, honey is ok, but not too much. Ive started drinking cans of Murphys stout, Mackeson is still for sale, I will try that again. I used to get Mackeson on a sunday with sunday dinner as a child, and put sugar in it.

Those pubs in the sixties were amazing, clouds of smoke, most blokes drunk, and throwing up in the car park, so they could drink more. We will not see the like again. My cousins father, an Irishman, got banned from every Cambridge pub but two, for fighting. He was a bad un. Drunk and violent. Funny thing was, we liked each other. He was always respectful when I was about. Life is funny.

Tennessee Fire has a cinnamon taste to it but I'm not sure why it's called "Fire" and that is the bit that worries me,I shall get a bottle later and put it in the cupboard ready for a night when I'm feeling sorry for myself and lager just won't do the trick,bourbon is the only drink that gets me drunk and suffer a hangover the next day so it's more of a threat because of the consequences the next day,looking online there's an Apple Jack Daniels as well but I've yet to see it in store,why did you put sugar in the stout,was it too strong for you but then again these was the days when sugar sandwiches was normal,parents who be up in court if it happened today
I also knew somebody who would make themselves sick so that they could drink more back in the 80's,madness when you think about it,I wouldn't like to go back to the pubs of past if I'm honest,my clothes would always stink of smoke when I went home and the ale was generally crap and warm,lager was cooled but only women drank it and only in halves,if you wanted something to eat the best that you could hope for was a bag of crisps or nuts and drink driving was normal

I've never tried it but it looks expensive

[funny_flopbags]

Usually about £27 a bottle chalks, but quite regularly various supermarkets do it on offer for £20.

It smells rank and doesn't taste much better but once you get used it it's geet lovely.

I bet you hated the taste of beer when you had your first one as a kid Chalks, I certainly did.

It's like that.

I put sugar in because it was too bitter. I like bitter now. Parsnips were poison, now they are wonderful, funny how tastes change. Those old pub games have gone, crib, darts, cards and dominoes. And those beer deliveries, rolling beer crates into a cellar. I will give laphroag a go and tennessee fire.

I don't like whisky tbf, tbh but I am partial to a drop off of Laphroaig. Smokey, peaty heaven.
