Spiced stuff is ****e. I like plussers and plantation. Still enjoy an OVD as well.

I did like OVD and Lamb’s (get your sheep gag in now) but whilst still palatable enough, Woods and Watsons of the supermarket-stocked labels are far more intense, especially if you prefer to add a mixer.
Pusser’s can be found in some shops, but your best bet for a regular supply is online. I use Master Of Malt, from whom I’m awaiting delivery of a pretty decent malt for Jormungad’s da’s upcoming 70th birthday.
The Gunpowder offering (original Navy proofage) is freely available there too.

We used to sell this Lemon Heart stuff, which was around 70% or thereabouts. Saw quite a few spews from that by the young team
I use master of malt as well. Usually good deals on Whisky. Waitrose is pretty good as well. Everything else is expensive but their drink isn't.
I got a bottle of this for my birthday which is...nice.

Yas. A canny-looking drop. I’ll add it to the schedule.
We have no Waitrose up here, but Sainsbury’s (who “keep the riff-raff out of Waitrose” according to Stephen Fry XD ) seemed to have the exclusive on this Balvenie a year ago, and I bought a bottle for a special occasion last July.

Nectar.
Ambrosia.
Yer granny’s lentil soup.
Yer ma’s stovies.
The first pint after 90 minutes of limb-threatening welfare league fitba.
It could only have been improved had it been strained through Clare Grogan’s pants and drunk out of the Cup-Winners’ Cup on 11 May 1983.
I'm a whisky-drinker too. Can't see far past Balvenie but there isn't too much I don't like (though a standard Ardbeg would be quite a long way down the "getting-quite-thirsty-now" list).
Also quite like the irish whiskey, it's a lot more watered-down tasting but a fair bit easier drinking when you just need a cooking whisky, it's a delivery mechanism after all. (Last time I was in NI I picked up some Bushmills but was shaking my head with a wry smile at the hoards pouring off buses excitedly in the car-park, it's not all that. All about the marketing I suppose).
Quite like a darker rum, like Diplomatico or Plantation too.
I was drinking Hibiki 17 like it was a standard Hibiki when I was in Tokyo a few years back. That's because I thought it was. That was an expensive night. Excellent dram though, one of the best I've ever had.
