Thank you all for your input, but i`ve got to buy from asda as iv`e been given a £10 voucher for filling in a survey. And its the scots part of me that doesn`t want to waste it ,so i`ll buy a bottle and the wife will buy me one.

That is so Scottish.

This is my favourite by far, I keep a bottle for special occasions

We have Van pigs, only two due to a lack of space. Lounge pig last count was 7, although Liz insists one is a boar, 4 in the kitchen and 11 in the conservatory. I think there are loose ones which wander room to room.

I daren't show you a photo of all the "pets" that occupy our van.

A Jamey Red (mixed with red lemonade) is known to remove the power of speech and walking in one hit. So is kneecapping, but the Jamey is less painful ...

Lemonade, LEMONADE, LEMONFEKKINADE? Jaysus, that's a bigger scandal than what comes out of Westminster.

Lemonade.....can't believe it.....whisky and lemonade......that Steve should be burnt at the stake?

 

[mistericeman]

So you think it tastes like fizzy , English lager ?
Fair enough

It's Just mass produced tasteless pap... Although slightly better than Sam smiths

 

[r4dent]

There is only one whisky, Bushmills.

Bushmills is, of course, not a "Whisky" .. it is a "Whiskey"

It's worse. It's RED lemonade (whatever that is, but it can't be good). Sorry @marchie .

I've been debating whether to share this but a couple of weeks ago I had a nip of Tácnbora. It was very nice indeed, even though it was blended in Northumberland.

Don't you mean Whiskey, not Whisky?

(I'm not really a big fan of the stuff anyway. Rum is a much better tipple )

i have a sweet tooth and wander between tullamore dew and paddys and the paddys seem to be on a promotional drive, in oct on the ferry back from dieppe a litre bottle was £10 , Amazon at the moment is only £14’70 delivered i had ten bottles come a fortnight ago & still got 7 left hic , if it absolutely has to be scottish the Tamluvin range have all been really nice

Personally, I think you’ll go a long way to improve on Highland Park from Orkney

Emphasises the point (one man's meat) I made earlier .
I get you don't like it but tasteless ?

We were on a 40th birthday weekend, which coincided with the Irish Divorce Referendum and a Steve Collins World Championship Boxng Match, which was televised live in the Bar. It was the locals who introduced us to Jamey Reds, this after a day of 'a gallon of Guinness and 8 glasses, please' 2.05€ per pint; for me, who can go 3-6 months without touching alcohol, 'twas a quick trip to brain dead and a lack of ability to walk very quickly ...

Treat the above like a Tinder Dating App for Booze
Swipe right twice and you will end with the perfect evening companion (to adapt a well known phrase ... "Every boy loves a Sailor (Jerry)" - one of my favourites )

A blend i did enjoy many moons ago was Stewart's cream of the barley.

Compared to a decent pint of craft beer.... Yes tasteless...

It's just mass produced pap... Don't get me wrong....
I understand WHY some folks drink it... It's a safe bet
BUT there are som many cracking pints out there from our small independent breweries...
Even Wetherspoons carry a cracking range (of incredibly well priced) real ales...

It's just a shame some folks are frightened to try them.

Pervert! We do but not the sort you are thinking of.

Craft beer ! Dreadful marketing dept phrase .
When I was still drinking beer (hardly ever now) I tried and enjoyed many different ones . I also made a point of stocking beers from the smaller breweries . But honestly just because the brewery is small doesn't guarantee the beer will be better.
Same process different scale
