Spirits

Whooo ghosties

Nah, just a touch of the hard stuff.

I’m a beer drinker, so avoid the hard stuff normally.
I gave up pints of vodka years ago, by public demand.

I’ve never been a fan of whisky, although I realise that whisky will feature heavily on this thread.

A decent cognac is usually my tipple but only a couple of times a year because I drink the whole bloody bottle.

Anyway, I’ve just been given some home made calvados, it’s f’uckin nectar.

I’ve bought some quite expensive calvados in the past ( not that expensive you understand) but it’s got nothing this stuff.

If I have another it’s going to be a problem in the morning.

Calavados is for poofs.

As predicted, it's whisky for me.
I'm nae as passionate a consumer as I once was, but if I go down the spirits route, this is the path I choose.
Highland Park is an old favourite, but I'm tending towards Speyside more this weather, Cardhu is affa fine.
Big fan of Irish whiskey also.

Whisky for me as well. Mainly because it's a man's drink.

Glengoyne is my local and my favourite. Close behind is Knockando. Soft spot for Bruichladdich due to it being next to her mother's.

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.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan is the smokiest whisky around I think but it's actually nice and sweet too.

Calavados is for poofs.

Is it Le Poof or La Poof?

Whatever it is, they know what to do with their f’uckin apples.

There’s peaty whisky & there’s whisky that isn’t peaty. Anyone that can tell further differences from that, is a total roaster. Fact.

It’s rare I touch spirits these days but in the odd occasion that I do, it’s always vodka soda. Tastes of nothing & gets you blootered. Jobs a good ‘un

Rum. Filthy black treacley stuff as rough as a deckhand’s language, and all the better if there are fish scales and the thumb of a trawlerman’s glove in it.

Watson’s Trawler Rum
Wood’s Navy Rum
Pussers
Pussers Gunpowder

Being from Speyside production territory, I have to support the local economy, of course, and you canna go wrong with a Dalwhinnie 15, or the jewel of Banffshire’s output, Cragganmore, my go-to dram for all occasions.

[Mason89]

I borrowed a bottle of Pussers out my dads drinks cabinet when I was 14. Put me off for life
