So, i may push the boat out and remember how to unscrew a bottle of wine, instead of just squirting it out of a box!! Plus, tomorrow is Swiss National Day. Got to celebrate somehow, the fireworks have already started.
Who lets off fireworks during the day?
The Glicikle, or whatever it's called, is not cheap. Costs around 20 quid. My sister gave me mine. It's cute and works, has a cork bitty with a pourer bitty. Fun, on a balmy, hot, sexy evening!! It's 31 degrees here in "freezing" Switzerland!!
I think she got it in John Lewis.
ŕ ta santé Pats. Have fun.
Beer is gone so onto the last Duty Free Tasters.

That Connemara is alright.
Flying to London tomorrow then onto Paris with the Sproglette. Them French better have gotten their act together and have that Montclair 10L Duty Free.
I beg to differ..Ya Dong is better than that Peated junk. But I guess if you are cleaning out the liquor cabinet then drink up. :)Quote:

Welcome home Lulu.
Hopefully there'll be some left for breakfast. :)
I cracked open my bottle of this Balvenie last night celebrating our anniversary. Exceptionally good nose and taste. Definitely taste the hint of rum. The wife sipped some Moscato.Quote:

So is it an icicle or a set of roller skate wheels?
Thatd sort out the sweaty arse crack
When you say "peated" I think to the couple (first one, then another) bottles of Laphroaig I bought as gifts in January. Peaty. Very very smoky peaty. Delicious.Quote:

Just asking...I claim no expertise.
No just that specific one Lulu posted.Quote:

Scotch like Bourbon are personal preference. Bourbon I prefer Rye but wheat is pretty damn good but it all boils down to distillers and process.
Tequila quality is where the Agave plant is grown (Highlands or lowlands) and how they process it.
Cheers
I could find this in Canada, but not here....

^That stuff has a kick to it! Best enjoyed after good cevapcici
Is this cevapcici a form of felatio?
Doing a few shooters tonight.....
Cool, thanks for your opinion.Quote:

I loved the Laphroaig. Smooth and tasty.
Havanas? Now that's a whole other topic, but I can well imagine a Laphroaig with a good cigar. I just had a ciggie and a joint :). Would have been better with a good cigar and a joint.
Bourbon...love the stuff. Makers Mark have a good old one...their young ones I can take or leave. Can't fault Jack, though. Jim is over-rated (in NZ).
And yes, I like a good tequila. Can't claim to be an aficionado, though.
Ya Dong.
Elixir of good health.
Well...Depends on whats floating at the bottom of the jar.....:)Quote:

Was lucky enough to spend some time in Korea town last night and introduced to flavored Soju. . Blueberry Soju. This is phenomenal.
Went to buy a few bottles after.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2017/08/274.jpg
Decided on a night of tasting.
https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gif
Was only 35 euro (1,400thb) for 14 bottles, including 2 packs of 2 bottles and proper beer glasss.
There's a free ticket from Milan to Bangkok going in 3 weeks and all you gotta do is chaperone one little girl.
PM me.
Coffee from Chin State,Myanmar . Just google imaged Chin State- think I need to plan a road trip

Pisses me off. I have like 80+ bottles at my house in my liquor cabinet. Yet I drink in a bar in BKK. What suck ass is they do an accurate 1 shot pour. I see it in the glass and say to myself....WTF is that? Make it a triple, I pour heavy at home :)
I finished my bottle on thursday night - with a little helpQuote:

Lunchtime will be a couple of small Singha's, halfway through the second of which I'll order my lunch (a traditional Sunday roast) Main course and dessert (chocolate brownie) will be joined by a glass of red wine with each, and on completion, a double Hennessy and a double espresso to round things off before heading home (wife driving of course).
A creature of habit on Sundays.
this looks like another to try and source
