The Xmas Booze Thread.

What tipples will ye be partaking in, this festive season?

Ive just ordered a bottle of Ben Nevis 10 year old single malt whisky, from the Green Welly Stop in Tyndrum, as I had a fair bit at the bar, last time I was staying in a hotel in Fort William.

Im no expert, but this was by far the best Whisky I have tasted.

Over to you....

Very nice drop there Dave. My local has a bottle. Mine will be a sample of each of this year's homebrews (there have been a few!) and maybe a cheeky sloe gin or 5! And I have it on good authority said local has a barrel of titanic plum porter on order! If you're reading don't worry johnie, I've reserved us a few!

Akevitt ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akvavit ) is central in Norwegian Yule traditions. This year I also have a bottle of Oban Little Bay which I intend to open on winter solstice.

Robinson's Dissy Blonde for me.

A lovely and slightly mad Dane named Heidi has confided her Glögg recipe to me. Its a syrup based recipe rather like the mulled wine recipe that I usually do, www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36071 . I have to say it may even eclipse the normal mulled wine. Cardamom was a surprise ingredient - as was blackcurrant - but the result is outstanding!

A bottle of Glen morangie for me

I shall have to try that.

Morgan's Spiced Gold for me, with the odd tot of Palmers Gold Cap scotch for an occasional change of pace.

Cheers!

Teachers Highland Cream, Tawny Port & Mulled Wine heated. Christmas booze is heaven.

Home made - wine (various hedgerow wines), Sloe Gin, Sloe Brandy, Blackberry Vodka, Sloe Port (wine poured over the Sloe Brandy fruit after the Sloe Brandy has been bottled)
Bought - some kind of decent red wine, whatever Whisky I get given as prezzies.....

It all depends what I can find in my brother's cellar, as we spend Yule with the extended family under his roof But in an unusual fit of providence when I was last staying with his family Oop North jun the summer, I did lay in some of these:

I hope the bugger hasn't found and drunk them - but he does have a saying: "You don't need to open a good bottle of drink to appreciate it."

Looks an interesting ale.
My favorite ale, would be the Black Sheep Ale, brewed up in Masham.
A delicious bitter.

 

[Brynglas]

Islay malt, probably Bunnahabhainn. I'll probably make up a batch of schnapps as well...

 

[hiho]

good old Edradour for me

 

[Harvestman]

I'm hoping for some good port as a present

If this bad weather keeps up Mike you'll get away with cheap port. You know what they say... (drumroll)... Any old port in a storm. (Badoom tish!)

Got some lapponia cloudberry liqueur to put in some champagne or add too vodka based drink. Should be good.
