You know it’ll be worth it when you put that glass to your lips and the smell hits your nose - fruit, spice, vanilla, a little smoke.
You could ask to try the local stuff, in Cyprus I had their local brandy and it was better than Courvoisier at less than half the price.
My wife picked this up for me last weekend and it’s rather nice.

They do have whiskey called “jacky” in the all inclusive but I was afraid to try it. The heat didn’t add to whiskey drinking either as the air conditioning only cools to about 30You know it’ll be worth it when you put that glass to your lips and the smell hits your nose - fruit, spice, vanilla, a little smoke.

@Hazelwood Brewery good shout. Not a bad offering. A double asked for a treble delivered
Edit ***
Actually not bad at all. Very burboun like with lots of brown sugar / caramel notes and very smooth not tasting high in alcohol at all. Not sure how it would leave you in the morning though

It possibly wouldn’t make the grade at home but in your needy state…
The brandy I had in Cyprus was fine, no bad effects in the morning. In future I’ll actually ask for it in preference to the expensive brands.
Thanks to @Donegal john (and my gateway beer), I’m moving on to my whisky much earlier than usual. I was going to have my usual tipple of Talisker but decided to try this Oak Select Laphroaig someone bought me. It’s quite smooth and the oak is quite strong but it’s more “woody” than I expected.
Muntons cloudy IPA early sample. Tastes really good. For someone who’s not a fan of cloudy it’s actually nice.
I have been craving something with some bitterness as I seem to have neglected making anything strongly hopped recently. Picked up in Tesco, pretty interesting flavours.
No work again tomorrow so starting with -
After 2 or 3 glasses of Talisker (I much prefer Talisker), I’m finishing with a glass of port. I do wish though this was the vintage reserve which is pretty damn good.

Ok
laphroig 10 is a pretty “marmite” whiskey I think. It’s either love it or hate it. The oak select is a bit more main stream and smoother. Both benifit from a few drops of water and 30 mins in the glass before drinking. I like peat forward drams but they are not for everyone

Half way to the Old Dart having a G&T in the VIP lounge Shanghai.
We went out got a pub lunch where I enjoyed a pint of cask Proper Job and a few Tapas.
Home now and I might be drinking the last pint of my cask bitter although I’m hoping I can squeeze one more off the top of the sediment
.
Earlier today I brewed a Belgian Dubbel so I’m off now to update my brewday thread, back soon.

First up a pint of Double Drop and then at another pub the New Forest which is the nicer of the two. In fact it’s a rather nice pint.
