Armagnac...anytime, anyplace, anywhere

PS: Wish I liked the 'water of life' but I made myself very ill with it once as a boy, even the smell still makes me feel at little queasy (alas).

Rusty nails, or honey toddys in the colder nights. Port and brandy washed down with murphys for the rest of the year. fil
unless I'm willing to get up in the wee small hours, I stay clear of anything with 'volume' to it... but I'm partial to a nip of Jamesons, or if I want something more warming a nip of Jamesons, surrounded by milky hot chocolate.

Funnily enough, Dunc, my eyes do occasionally hover over the bottles of bourbon at the supermarket, and I wonder if I should and perseverance is a desirable quality in a bushcrafter

The only fire I ever get to sit round is the gas powered one in the sitting room, but when I do I like to have a nice bottle of mead. Lindisfarne if possible but the really cheap (£3.99 I believe) Harvest Gold stuff from Morrisons aint half bad.
I've always liked a good 18year Glenmorangy, nothing better around the fire. And plus you sleep like the honoured dead.
Oh, see this Golden Crop, Is it actual mead? I can'y find any suppliers

For many years as a young wild lad I drank anything alcoholic from Fine Fares cheapest bottle of whisky (at that time it was "old Inverness") to vodka, pernod, saki, home made poteen, and in my deepest darkest depths methylated spirits and orange juice...and as one got older I progressed onto an experiment in madness and consciousness when Absythne was truly my favourite drink for years; one can say a fitting green lady for a green man,and yes before you ask...you do really need to drink a whole bottle in one drinking before you start to hallucinate!
As life progressed and became more stable (mentally and vocationally ), my tastes always fell back to the darker deeper malts that resembled the waters I paddle on. And to this day my finest favourite tipple must be a 25 year old Bhunnahabhain from Islay although today I have to suggest that my younger years have caught up on me and my grumbling ulcer prevents me from enjoying that tipple as much as I would like and this may be my saving grace!

Hmm never heard of Golden Crop
kk lol no worries Thorfinn. Em yeah its real mead just not the top quality, probably why each bottle can taste a little different they probably use whatever honey they can get their hands on, allthough I've never had a bad bottle. I know Morrisons sell it, well at least in consett they do. I just happened to have a bottle to hand and its bottled by CWF LTD, HD2 1YY, UK. If that helps at all.
I know you can get it on their official website at quite a reasonable price, below £9 I think. Its so smooth and tastes amazing, a friend got me a bottle for by 18th. Luckily theres a shop in the metrocentre called frizzywigs where I can buy it when and as I need it.
google turned this up http://www.lindisfarne-mead.co.uk/ its in their online shop for £6.99. If while you order you decide to try their other liquers the black beer and raisin wine is nice and like sherry IMO at first but after half a bottle doesn't taste quite so nice.
i like celtic mead. very nice.
also tallisker 14yr old distillers reserve.
and cock o' the north. a fine liquer of single malt and blaeberry plus a secret ingredient.

In Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada, if you go backcountry camping, you are not allowed to bring any glass containers or tin cans. I will occasionally bring in a tin can of food, or cans of beer, but of course make sure I bring them out (shhh...). But on one occasion, I thought I would bring in a box of wine instead of bottle to be responsible.
The next morning I woke up with a warthog dancing in my cranium, or so I thought. Boxed wine tends to contain lots of sulphites I suspect - I had an evil hangover. I will never do that again!
If anything, I'll decant a nice bottle of wine into a Nalgene bottle.
