Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Not precisely at this very moment, but recently white wine.
Nothing too expensive. I've found that it doesn't need to be in order to eversoslightly numb the senses.
Which, over the past few evenings, has been a good thing (that's 'good' in capital letters - I just don't want to shout).
Robbo what a fucking wanker you are.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Back in the '60's it was very available in Blighty, as the scenes on the tropical island in Carry On Doctor reveal. All those lovely bottles of 1967 Johnnie Walker Red Label.
I didn't know, as Kingstonian states, that Johnnie Walker doesn't have a presence in Kilmarnock anymore. The buggers!
Ballantines, in the 12 and 21 year old (never tried the 30 year old) has a better range of blends than JW. The Gold is the best in the JW range, but quality seems to have peaked and is probably too popular now for a decent dram.
I often trick those who think they are whisky aficionados with JW Gold, they always conclude it is a single malt. And if you put it up against the over rated and hyped Blue Label, everyone will always pick the Gold as the better tasting whisky - 100% of my tests. The Gold is a third, if not more of the price of Blue Label.

Ch Potensac, Medoc, 1988. I kept this last bottle 5 years or more past it's recommended drink by date and only decided to drink it now only because the level was below the neck.
A very good wine, soft, huge length, still with plenty of life in it - very satisfying. Wish you could still get it for the £5.85 / bottle I paid for it e.p.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
This morning I went up to the coffee roaster and got half a kg of my own blend of good sweet nutty non bitter coffee fresh out of the roaster - yummo.
Went up to vote (contest between Julia our first female PM and Mr Rabbit) this arvo and there was a guy selling his wine behind the booth. (and at a proddy church no less). So I ponied up for a bottle of Shiraz and a small bottle of port. The guy grows it himself up near Benalla and has it made and bottled at Hanging Rock.

1986 Chassagne Montrachet (Ramonet) - a leaving present from my last job. Very pleasant but somewhat disappointing given the reputation of the winemaker and the vintage.... suspect it was well past it's recommended drinking window.

Eagle Rare 17 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
No water or fuck all. Perfect on its own.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Not necessarily, depends of the whisk(e)y, some benefit from ice and/or water, others do not.
In my ongoing quest to fund the missus's internship and pay an 800 euro dentist fee, my thrifting continues: presently drinking J&B with two ice cubes.
Tomorrow I am planning on buying a bottle of Haig, Canadian Club and Vat 69, enough cheap liquor to see next month through.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Most splendidly, my mission to purchase the cheapest cheeriest whisky imaginable failed in a splendid single cask and rare mothballed distillery extravaganza.
Did however, thrift on the Islays and bought a young peaty Ledaig for a lot less than the equivalent Ardbeg or Laphroiag. So in away, I have saved money.
Have been given a bottle of 2006 Crozes Hermitage, any of you wine aficionados and experts, care to venture an opinion on its quaffability?
