Christmas spirit
It's that time of year,and I thought that I would canvas the forums prefered tipples,ie: those that they enjoy,and would recommend.
For me,apart from Lager,I love a single malt,and one in particular is Jura,lovely taste,and pretty reasonable price wise.
Does anyone else have a tipple that they would like to "share" with the forum?

Re: Christmas spirit
Jura is nice, but I see it as a bit bland.
Prefer Talisker, great mix of smokey and smooth.
But honorable shoutouts to these very good alternatives
Lagavulin (Peatey)
Glenfiddich (All rounder)
Glenmorangie (Smooth)
Laphroaig (Smokey)

Re: Christmas spirit
I'm quite partial to a drop of Cognac. Tried hard to get into whisky but unfortunately taste buds not quite matured yet. Got my eye on a bottle of Absinthe that's been in my parents' cupboard for a while.
Re: Christmas spirit
Well it is Bud or Guinness but like the Royale Family you can't beat a pint of snowball with lots of vodka in it ( the alcoholic drink obviously not the other thing with the same name lol )!

Re: Christmas spirit
The christmas cupboard is stocked with budweiser, koppaberg mixed fruit, jack daniels, captain morgan's spiced rum and a couple of bottles of mulled wine ( not all to be drank on the same day I might add)
Merry xmas Gooners

The Landlord,and mate,(even if he is a "Yanited" fan),of a quality hostelry on the outskirts of Rugby,(called,"The St. Thomas's Cross),gave me me a lovely etched Talisker Whisky glass! Laphroiag is also a lovely example of the craft!!!
