[Closed] What spirit are you drinking? Not Scotch Whisky.

some st lucian rum my dad bought back with him. its nice.

Hennessey XO

I've some Buffalo Trace on the shelf but I'm out early tomorrow so giving it a miss.

Angostura rum - looked good on the supermarket shelf, ended up trying appleton estate as a compromise. Tastes alright.

Hennessey XO

I'm sure it's great, but it's not cheap! Had some lovely Méry et Fils Vieille Réserve Cognac over the Christmas period, about a 1/3 of the price of the Hennessey XO.

Polish burnt caramel vodka. I drank it all, but then my Father in Law arrived with another bottle

?(´??)?

Despite having over a dozen whiskeys on my shelf I'm really enjoying Camus XO cognac and Ron de Jeremy rum. The later was a novelty gift for Christmas and was surprised at just how good it is.

@ whatnobeer

What is your point exactly? Pointless statement if you have not tried the Hennessey XO.

The VSOP is much cheaper but no where as good.

More of a liquor than a spirit, but well stuck into a bottle of Cointreau here. Easy drinking, sweet, sticky and warming....... 😀

Rich, that bottle is drawing me in, where' d'you get it from, never seen it before?

I got a taste for Gentleman Jack Daniels when I was last in the States and have a bottle of that in my study. Might well have a little snifter later.

Ron Zacappa 23 yr old rum.

Rum

Appletons - grazing
Bundy - razor blades but I love it
La Havanna - for special times
Krakken - my downfall

Loving the Cointreau here too.
Perfect evening tipple to warm your body and soothe your mind.

Sublime.

Tequila.Cuervo Gold. Yummy.

Tequila - now that stuff very nearly killed me... Or shall I say nearly caused an untimely death.

Kabul- 3am-face down - sewage ditch-robbed-alone-hail taxi-wake up- soiled-colleague stands barefoot in mess - set up drips in back of helicopter (my job) - alcohol poison for 3 days.

Will I drink tequilla again

NEVER ;@))

Started on the Havana 7, finished that, went to the Havana 3, finished that went to the bacardi!.

I blame the sore head on the bacardi! Poured the rest down the sink this morning.

Even the Adeladians make a very fine drop (and christ knows how, given the water here):

Who needs Scottish scotch?

Good bourbons

Buffalo Trace - as mentioned earlier
Knob Creek
Maker's Mark
Woodford Reserve

Also partial to Irish Whiskey
Jamos
Paddy
Bushmill is getting too near scotch - but ok

Grand Duque d'Alba, Jerez brandy - very refined and has that lovely Jerez tang.

Mount Gay XO

What is your point exactly? Pointless statement if you have not tried the Hennessey XO.

None really, other than I find it hard to get my head around spending so much for (what I'd expect) to be so little gain. I doubt the Hennessay XO was 3 times as good as the Vieille Réserve. Not Cognac, but I had some 40 year old Caol Ila over Christmas as well, lovely drink, but not more than 10 x as good as the 12 year old.

I miss single malts, for I can't drink because of meds, I remember Blunderberg and Armagnac too.
