Tom, I've found J&B (Justerini & Brooks) to be a great blended Whisky, much nicer than than most you get on pub optics. It's around 14-15 quid in most 'offys.

Polish vodka is exactly that, used for buffing up furniture!

Polish Vodka is FAR better than Russian.


Ah, such a sweeping statement!
Either (a) you're Polish, or (b) you're very young.


You reply to one sweeping statement with another sweeping statement? :D

Hehe. Irony's a b!tch!! :)

Zubrowka Vodka's pretty good, now. Me brother goes over to Poland pretty frequently, and it costs nothing there.

try adding some pieces of baltic amber to a bottle, and leaving it for a few months. the amber dissolves slowly and the taste is amazing...

I'll remember that.  I never know what to do with those pesky bits of baltic amber I always have lying around...

It's a strange drink because most people equate it with being overly sweet, which it can be. There are sakes that taste just like gin, however.

There's a great sake bar here in NYC, decibel.

I don't usually get on with single malts. Spending £20+ on a bottle is a bit depressing when you have one glass and give it away because you don't like it. Only one I've tried and liked is Aberlour. Drink my fair share of Bells the other end of pay day, though.

And no, getting drunk off whisky is really not a good idea. Did it once with a bottle of Glenlivet (that I'd bought for the fancy box) which I had to shot because it was disgusting and it's just not good for you.

but if you were on holiday in lithuania or estonia, you could just pick some off the beach... and buy the vodka too.

The rare one, which isn't rare at all, it's all over the world! It's the yellow label with J&B in red, quite a famous trade mark.

When they say "rare" they mean it is rare to find it unavailable.

Are we onto Rum yet?  Did Tom mention Rum?  Being an old sailor I love Rum - what's your view on Rum?

Mount Gay (that is not a verb by the way) is proper rum as opposed to Barcardi.

Sure, why the hell not talk about rum? I'm not discriminatory! :)
