Your favorite tipple

[MadAdey]

So what is your favorite tipple then and what are you sat drinking at the minute? There has been a bit of discussion today that has brought up alcohol, so I just wondered what you choose to drink when you are sat at home.

I love malt whisky and currently sat with a Bruichladdich malt in my hand. I absolutely love malts and my girlfriend is starting to like them due to my passion for them. But she does find an Islay a bit hardcore so I got a Speyside Singleton malt for her to try.

Since losing some weight last yr I try and stay off the beer as much as possible these days (bar the odd pint after golf). Mainly a white wine drinker, pretty old school tastes, preference for something dry and french mainly, though always happy to try something new. Currently on a nice montagny 1er cru. Otherwise have the odd nice brandy

Guinness for me, cant drink spirits or wine , cant wait till August and back over the water for some real Guinness.

Tea drinking tonight, taxi driver later.

If its to drink with a meal then a nice Aussie or New Zealand White wine Chardonnay preferably. If its just to drink when watching sport on the tv then Becks or Kingfisher lager.

It didn't crop up on Wednesday at Newark (I wonder why?), but we have a tradition with our seniors that a birdie receives recognition with the scorer producing a hipflask for a small snifter. One of this afternoon's tasks in getting ready for Turkey tomorrow was to recharge my 4 hipflasks ready for the off - a decent malt in one, a good french brandy, any kind of rum and the special, which is a Wild Turkey Small Batch Barrell Strength Bourbon - nectar. They probably won't be opened.

Ha ha - great topic to lead into. I have an ice cold cobra in a pint glass right now. I do enjoy a Penderyn Madeira neat, but has to be a cold winters evening or an incredibly bad round of golf. Some blendeds are good too. Have you tried any of the Japanese whiskys?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Got to be JD for me. & it's got to be neat.

I know why rosecott
Also carry a hipflask with a decent malt during the winter months.
My tipple of choice would have to be a good quality pale ale closely followed by a decent bottle of rioja.
Have a good trip away fella.

Single malt drinker here. Highland Park is probably my favourite.

Does it have something to do with it being Monday when we played your place?

I remember missing a 6 footer on your last after nearly putting my drive into the clubhouse over the back of the green.

I thought it was well judged, you were easily a good foot from the patio

 

[Blue in Munich]

Another Islay malt drinker here, Laphraoig probably the favourite, a close run thing with Smokehead, but Caol Ila, Bowmore or Ardbeg equally acceptable. Warm summer days after a round it will be a cold pint of something, nothing definite, just what I fancy on the day. Rarely touch wine.
