Really expensive Heineken

First glass of red wine in a month. Sat waiting for plane back to Germany. Got a crap seat, middle right at the back, so need a comfort drink or three. Wine is unexceptional so no pic.
The pound for pound Wetherspoon champ

A pleasant pour before a long trip.
Milk under Dr's orders
A few fake Remy Martins to watch The Equalizer 3 - Properly good action movie with heart and soul - 8.2/10
I thought I recognised the fictional location town of Altamonte and did some googling to find out that it was filmed in Atrani, the location for the epically good Ripley TV drama, which I just finished watching last week. A drive along the Amalfi coast is starting to become a minor bucket list contender item. Ideally (fictionally) in an Aston Martin but probably some cheap rental will be the reality, if it ever comes to fruition.

My sister got me this bottle for my birthday in 2017. It is long since finished but since I am blessed with an uncultured palate I am free to fill it up with bottom shelf hooch brandy, do the syrup magic and Bob's yer gender neutral parent's sibling
I did do side by side taste tests while it still contained the good stuff and I could barely tell the difference, so I feel for me there is little point in spunking $130 on the real deal. Drinking it from the posh bottle does give a tiny little extra glow though.
Remy Martin is my favourite tipple, but yeah brandy is all good plus you'll get some of the flavour from the leftovers in the bottle.
I take my 0ne finger of brandy with three fingers of Buxton water, how do you take yours Loops?
Well I just arrived at my Pops place in the Wine Country with my wife and my first stop today will be my local liquor store to stock up. Choices Choices Choices. Endless Craft beer, 10 year Rye Whiskeys and Bourbons. Hangar 1 Vodka.
I had to laugh a bit, so on our trek here we rested in one of the lounges at BKK after our puddle jumper flight from Lampang. The bar selection can only make one laugh. Mekong or JW Red, Krukow Vodka, Tequila I have never even heard of and the full Goat piss selection on tap. World Class they say. :)
2 days down and a mere 29 to go for Sober October.
I've got this
I was thinking about it before actually when I was on the way home from the shop with me supper.Quote:

Not. A. Chance.
I made up for your loss mate. No alcohol left in the house. I've drunk the place dry in less than a week of being backQuote:

Four Roses...I agree. I typically pick up a bottle of good "go to" as snubs called it. The McKenna I have never tried but was told by a buddy here it's extremely good Small batch 10 year.Quote:

Well, I might be reduced to goat's piss judging by the weather forecast. :sad:
Best of health to your dad.

Good luck to your dad, Stumps.Quote:

It seems that you possibly also flaunt the duty free allowance and I'm wondering if you have ever had any issues?
Best wishes for your Pops stumps. Good on you for being there for him. Regarding Four Roses small batch, it is a fantastic value as it punches well above its weight class.Quote:

Apologies putting that in the Drinking thread.
Back to Drinking
@ Mendo, (knocking on wood as they say) I have had no issues with bringing back bottles. I do have a few tricks I use which seem to work. The 1 liter limit is really odd as most are 750 ML so it should be changed to 1.5L but whatever, doubt that will change.
@ Cyrille. :) on the Goat Piss. I heard some weather is moving in from my SIL at the house and the Wang river is rising again after it had receded quite a bit.
@ Snubs, yeah Four Roses is a really nice pour at 104 proof. I always felt it was better than Blantons at a fraction of the cost comparatively speaking.
Is one of them taking your wife on holidays?:)Quote:

You two numpties obviously haven't sampled that new flavour of Walkers crisps:rolleyes:
Wimps like you are the reason it's not advisable to take a Thai to a 'Thai' restaurant in the UK. :DQuote:

Like I said,they're akin to a Vindaloo spice wise if you eat the whole packet because the intense flavour builds.
Not as spicy as a Thai 10 chilli somtam, but you don't need jalapeños with those crisps
Weird how wine is so much cheaper in Australia than beer. On the Aussie side of the ditch it isn’t difficult to find a 750ml bottle of drinkable wine for AU$4.00 - AU$6.00 while beer is something like AU$60 a slab.
Now there are some happy memories.Quote:
