[Different kind of Rabbit]

Been off spirits lately. Drinking a lot of cider. There's this nice one out there called "Dickin's".

I love my Dickin's cider. The missus enjoys it too.

Dimple is great.

Ftr, whiskeys don't improve with age once they are taken out of the barrel. It's the tenins in the oak barrel that improve the taste of the whiskey over time.

Dimple is fantastic. I also like Chivas Regal!

JD all day errrday

The only time I drink beer is on tap at the pub besides that its:

JD
Makers Mark
Wild Turkey

I'm guessing I was drunk when I wrote that

Also don't mind Vodka + Redbull or Vodka + Coke & Lime
Gin and juice is a new found like for me too

I'm not really a Jim Beam fan but I'd still drink it if it was there

Seems to be a lot of posts about CC which I assume to be Canadian Club scotch. I thought it was a budget spirit like Black Douglas.

Does it come in a 700 mL bottle or just in premixed cans? My missus gets one occasionally from the local bottle on the way home from the sports club.

Canadian Club is a Rye Whisky, not Scotch. Much smoother. Similar price to Black Douglas.

What do you think of Hennessy VSOP SGL?

Blue Alize goes alright, feels a bit of a girls drink though lol

 

[Bazal]

However CC destroys Black Douglas in every way

Good starting point for Cognac.

I usually do 50/50 mix with sprite or else the bottle goes too quick

Yeah I normally go the sprite or solo, not bad neat either. Have you tried any of the other colours? Only ever had the blue

I didn't know it was a rye whisky.

I might give the wild turkey rye or Jim beam rye a go and see how it compares.

Nah I've only had the blue
Wasn't game to buy a bottle of one I wasn't sure of it and usually clubs only have the blue one. Trying the other flavours is on my to do list tho.

Thanks fellas about Canadian Club.

Just because it was next to stuff like Black Douglas, Johnny Walker and so on, I thought it was a scotch.

Time to read labels more carefully methinks!!
