What booze do you prefer for sitting by the fire with at night? Mine has to be a nice port or brandy. I occasionally take a bladder of red wine from one of the boxes though when weight is'nt an issue :D :beerchug:

Uisgebeath! :D

"Whisky pure!
Oh whisky you're
A charmer,
Drunk or sober!"

Specifically the fine whisky of Islay. My current favourite is without doubt Caol Ila - 18 year if I can afford it, but the 12 year is perfectly adequate. ;) :)

I have also been know to carry a 2.5 L platypus bottle full of homebrew. OK, I like a drink... ;)

rolla cola...hmm maybe not...
if i'm on my own, a nip or two of laphroig or jamesons from the flask is great when everything else is all done, otherwise its perpetual tea drinking for me. water when actually walking.
wine etc is too heavy to drag out, although if its car camping then there's no limit :D
might have to make a little trip out to try the 18yr old Caol lla (Roal lla caol lla haha)

You can't beat a good single malt in my opinion, 12 yrs old is good ,
but 18 yrs plus if you're feeling wealthy!

My favourites are The Glenlivet, Talisker, Laphroiag and Ardbeg (but not all at once!) :D

Has anyone tried the 'Cairn O Mohr' bramble, oak leaf of raspberry Wine? bloody good stuff but hits you like a ton of bricks lol :beerchug:

Found this:

No connection etc, although they must have had a fair bit of my money the past few years lol

Mine would be whatever you are carrying :lmao: However, if I could choose it would have to be a good malt whisky.
