Tonight I am drinking some......


Octygone

Found some 'Savanna Dry' cider. I'd forgotten how nice it tastes.

I've recently bought a 18 pack of Magnets cans for a tenner. I also have a few bottles of Weston's and Thatcher's cider in my collection too.

I have some Chinese "White Wine", that's starting to eat its way through the ceramic bottle; I wonder if I should risk it; last time I had any - 8 thimble fulls; I was totally ga-ga (on a full stomach and drunk slowly over a 2 hour period!!).

 

OFFICIALLY, it is 55%, but............

A 2012 Barolo (xmas present). Was 2012 a good vintage? Dunno, the bottle seems full and it's 13.5%, so I reckon that'll do. :)

See #57; a just bottled Barolo like that will continue to improve for several years if you store it on its side in a dark place that will stay at 15 to 20C. Also, it needs to be decanted, or opened and poured 2 or 3 hours before serving.

They probably meant 55 octane LOL.

Truffler dry cider, by Orchard Pig.  A nice Somerset cider with a good clean taste - a bit like Aspall.  Hereford ciders taste a bit funny, to me. Truffler has been on offer in the supermarkets for about £1.50 bottle recently (500 ml, 6% alcohol).

A VERY unusual IPA - at 43% ABV! Yes, I did write forty three percent. A much appreciated birthday gift from the furry members of the family.

As it St Patericks day, I'm enjoying some Baileys Irish cream. I wondered about Magners Irish Cider, but fancied something special.

 

It's actually their Chocolat Luxe version which tastes like very nice chocolate milkshake.  :mmm:

Good to see you sticking to a theme for St Paddies day. Hope I don't get excommunicated for not drinking Teelings instead of the IPA yesterday.
