Jealous...

That's a darn sight better than any Jack Daniels (shudder)...

Weatherspoons haven’t heard of bitter. I’ve had to distract myself by colouring in.

 

[Froddy]

Happy NYE, everybody! Cheers …

 

[Bebs]

Yes, happy NYE everybody!

 

[Andyk]

Yes, happy NYE everybody!

And back at you my friend. Hope 2023 is a great year for you.

Hmmm I appear to be hallucinating. I thought I'd posted

Leffe Brune, then there will be bubbles, courtesy of my boss.

Started on two of these. Which went down very nicely

And now the big dog is out.

Opening this 40yr old bottle today for a New Year's family celebration. Normally wine doesn't last that long in this house, so the fact we've kept this bottle in tact since my dad brought it back from France in the late '80s is pretty incredible! Question is: after all this time will it be vintage or vinegar?

Where has it been kept? If at 12-14 degrees constant it should still be ok. If kept a room temp all this time it will not be at its best to put it mildly. Here’s hoping

We enjoyed a bottle of 1963 port this year, which from a storage point of view had not really been cared for, and after being moved from one kitchen cupboard to another started leaking through the cork - it was due to be opened in April 2023 for my 60th.

Anyway, opened on Boxing Day expecting disappointment, but Lady Luck was shining and it was sublime

20% alcohol helps keep it in good shape despite temps. Vintage ports are generally more hardy because of the alcohol level.

Pornstar Martini just to toast Dems birthday and the end of festivities.

Can you all find Glen Ord single malt there? Not that I drink anymore...but there was a time I could get my hands on it regularly. The first time I opened a bottle, I sat down with a glass and a book. Hours later, when I tried to stand...well, I realized that someone had consumed the entire thing in one sitting...

It does evaporate unless very carefully monitored. I find the same with many malts

And yes, you can get it in Rightpondia

Yeah...did love a good single malt. No fan of blends. But don't think I ever drank one as imperceptibly smooth on Leftpondia.

Well yes, as with so many things, Leftpondia doesn't quite get it

Can't fault a guy for trying. Not only was I born in the wrong place, I was also born at the wrong time.
