Indeed. And that's why we're handy at pub quizzes.

Even at that size it looks like Bruce Forsyth!

I agree domroger. The only drinkable gin I've ever tasted was Dutch. Prehaps they call it 'genever' to distinguish it from English gutrot?

I believe it was the English who corrupted the word Genever to gin ,as well as the gin itself .

That said gin and tonic with ice and lemon is a very refreshing summer drink ,with the benefit that the tonic hides the taste of the gin .

Your first sentence makes sense to me mate. Your second doesn't, but chacun a son gout.

There's a fabulous tonic in the US called Fever Tree, lots of bitter quinine flavor.

I had Crown Royal once. Is that whiskey? Sorry, don't know much about it.

My go to cold medicine is a shot of bourbon in hot tea with honey. Maybe a bit of lemon. Never tried cloves though. Ill have to remember that

 

[Scotsman69]

Cloves have an anaesthetic effect. Never used oil of cloves for toothache?

Nope. Always used orajel. Good to know though.

this should be linked to the cigar thread. I love relaxing around a camp fire with a glass of whiskey and a nice rocky patel

No. But my boy is desperately trying to get his hands on some. I believe I may have raised a booze snob...

If you get any to try, PLEASE let us all know how it is.

I didn't know that until I saw the movie Marathon Man.

If you like bourbon try Henry McKenna. Good stuff at a reasonable price.

I have not had a good bourbon, yet. Scotch I drank some Glenmorangie at the Hotel Congress on the recommendation of an old-timer. Really good. I prefer Whiskey. Jameson is OK. Jameson Reserve is pretty good.

Sounds like you just don't like bourbon. Matter of taste. Some find bourbon too sweet. I drink lots of scotch but enjoy a bourbon now and then, too. The scotches I like tend to be pricey.

my grandpa drank crown.

 

[DesEsseintes]

I finished a special bottling of Highland Reserve 16 year old last night. So good it made me want to punch bricks. And if ever you come across Ardbeg Corryvreckan, treat yourself. The most wonderfully pungent, unapologetic Islay I've ever tasted.

 

[Bad_Doggie]

A splash of water, or it's American.

You can't add water, fish fuck in it!(and dilutes the taste)
