dj_bollocks Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Kind of linked to the Whisky thread... But what's your favourite acquired taste...? I'm not talking about Carling or Smirnoff Vodka or Beefeater Gin - what specialist boutique drinks to you partake in...? I'm a big gin fan. Love this stuff... And the Fentimans tonic water is brilliant too... Quite enjoyed this... Love this... And can't wait to try this... And this... Not sure about this though... And currently my favourite red wine... What do you recommend ? Link to comment

dj_bollocks Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Fit the fuck is a boutique drink? Drinks that you don't get down your local, or your standard offy... Drinks that you get in specialist booze boutiques, cocktail bars, and the like... Link to comment

dervish Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nah, you much have been smashed. That particular one is shite. Nah, wasn't. I was very surprised. More like a port or something than a beer. Link to comment

Thought it was more like a bad whisky myself, I think, I get that one muddled up with the other ridiculously strong ene. For the record, their 2 best beers are: & Link to comment
dervish Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Will give both a try. Innis & Gunn is nice too. This taken out of the freezer, neat with an ice cube is fucking awesome for sipping: Link to comment
Jigot Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Mad Dog Jim frae Bonnybridge's Hame made Sloe Gin. Alcoholic Jam! You take it out the freezer once because once you start drinking this, there's nothing left to go back in. He once told me his recipe. 1/3 Gin, 1/3 sugar and a 1/3 of SLASHED sloe berries, not pricked. It's better than proper poteen. Link to comment
muttondressedaslamb Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Some good gins there DJ. Can't beat No.10 imo. Link to comment
gla5gowdon Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Nah, wasn't. I was very surprised. More like a port or something than a beer. I had a previous "Strongest Beer in the World" holder and that was a bit like tar/port. Nasty. Link to comment
