Just had a taste of this years damson gin, and, it's [Poor language removed]' gorgeous. If I could recommend a new year's resolution it it is make damson gin in copious quantities ; you won't regret it.

The amount of new Gins on the market is amazing, some proper weird flavours too.

Homemade ; a couple of hours' walking in the autumn picking damsons produces nectar at Christmas. Alternatively, just buy them at a market, you won't regret it.

Xmas Eve was enjoyable... 9/10 for me, for Irish Whiskeys. Will buy again, once gone...not much left!

One of the best Irish whiskies I think. Also like Green Spot.

Been enjoying this stuff recently. Got given a bottle at an Xmas market I was working at. Made by Lyme Bay Winery. Quite Christmassy spices.

Just polished off a Laphroaig Select...didn't have that lingering hit that the 10 year has but still a nice drop.

Despite multiple people raving about this to me, I've never found it even remotely palatable...

Proper Marmite drink...

My sister gave this as a Christmas present. Can't say I've ever before heard of white port, very drinkable. I don't suppose it's the same company that make wine gums ?

Bought this for mrs d a couple of years ago, she's randomly decided to open it tonight.



Blood orange plus botanicals, really special. Incredibly subtle orange flavour, with a touch of honey, not a lot of spice. Nothing like the other 'orange tinctured' gins on offer.

Made in batches of 200 by a fella in his garden shed in Cirencester lol

Good work fella!

Few years ago at the Bristol balloon festival there was a stall promoting some brand of white port, giving out free samples which were very nice. We came back towards the end of the day and the girls working the stall were desperate to close down and get off. They practically threw the stuff at us, we walked away with half a dozen bottles each and we were 'kin leathered!!

FFS, it always happens to someone else. lol
Not much left of the bottle, didn't give me much of a hangover compared to the normal port.

On last year's quince brandy, lethal stuff.

Hard to beat, for the price...but it's all subjective, eh?

Last autumn I made some quince gin flavoured with honey ; just had a taste and it's nirvana.
