Lets all get into sherry

[Benny Bunter]

Its mega weird.

It is the very definition of an acquired taste but I really like it. Usually just the one with something to eat though, couldn't blast through a bottle of it.

That costs about 2 euros

Benny, wincing after each sip, "Ooh, that's the good stuff!".

 

[Benny Bunter]

12€ actually. Did I say it's from Jerez, where they actually invented it? So it can't be bad. Gonna have a tipple now before bed

 

[luka]

Mines from jerez to but it was £16 which is like €35

 

[Benny Bunter]

I bet your drinking that Tio Pepe swill, I've got the good stuff

It'll be so acidic there'll be nothing left of you by the morning but a puddle of blackish organic residue and a couple of gold fillings.

It's called barbadillo

What scotch and other spirits you lot got in? Kent do you dabble
with rhum agricole? Or is it too hipster

I drink the normal white wine Barbadillo sometimes in the bars, not bad, easy drinking. Not had their sherry though.

This stuff I've got's good actually, nice and dry. Not too keen on the sweet stuff.

Kent do you dabble

ancient Scots remedies aka "hot toddy" adminstered by my mother on occasion of a cold may have set me up for a life of dissolution and alcoholism, but a teenage debauch where i woke up in a steaming pile of what appeared to be "wet bread" after downing a bottle of "Johnny Walkers" awakened me to the dangers of alcohol and it was only until recently that I remained teetotal

but yeah, I will never let whiskey ever pass my lips ever again

rum for the win lol

 

[Benny Bunter]

This will sound twattish but to fully appreciate Fino you really do have to accompany it with some decent ham - the weirdness goes away and it all starts to make sense.

I'm talking about 'rhum' from the French Caribbean. You probably can't get it in the north though tbf.

I should probably be offended, but on my last few visits to the former GDR I was corrected in my pronunciation and advised that `I meant:

RHUUM

and then they sold me this:

from the real INDIA!

Not innocent, misunderstood

When I was a student (a long time ago) we’d buy a quarter of Brie, a baguette and a bottle of Harvey’s Bristol Cream between two. It was the height of hedonism in 1986.

Was that with a laydee?

My grandma used to drink Harvey's Bristol Cream.

@jenks What were you doing hanging around with my grandma? She'd have been way too old for you even in 1986, surely?
