Public Service Announcement. Highland Park 12 year old single malt is on offer at the Co-op for £17.25 per bottle. I may stock up on a few !

Glenlivet Nadurra.

Oh my. It is interesting (especially as I picked it for around £20, inexplicably reduced in Waitrose). Matured in "First fill american white oak casks" I expected it to be light, and it is with a lemony hint, but there is a richness and depth with a fairly light peatyness. Slight sweet overtones, too. Exceptionally smooth for 60% abv (120+ proof). Very drinkable, unlikely to become a favourite though.

This place has very good prices for Portuguese wines. The following are all made by the chap who did yours.https://www.portugalvineyards.com/en/search?orderby=price&orderway=asc&search_query=carlos+eduardo&submit_search=Search&p=2

I enjoyed this from M&S https://www.marksandspencer.com/quinta-de-fafide-estate-reserva-case-of-6/p/p21127281 and found the same stuff a lot cheaper on that site. https://www.portugalvineyards.com/en/wines/4635-quinta-de-fafide-reserve-red-2016-5609851524007.html?search_query=Quinta+de+Fafide&results=6

The website didn't like Safari, but when I ordered a case the delivery was fairly prompt. Must order some more before Brexit

I've got a grumble. Brewers putting their wares out in tins that are 95% wishy washy design, that you can hardly find the brewer name, the beer name, the type on. And as for finding the %ABV? You need a magnifying glass and a treasure map.
Like thus:

No, that's a perfectly reasonable complaint IMHO, that can might just as well not have a label at all.

I've just bought the last 3 bottles they had.

I read elsewhere that this standard bottling is being discontinued & replaced by "Viking Honour"

They also had Glenfiddich 12 year old for £18 a bottle.

This afternoon, I am in the Legion in Tewkesbury, with a choice of Sarah Hughes Snowflake (8%), Exmoor Beast (6.6%), or something weak and fluffy (Ludlow Gold 4.3).
One of each so far

No more cheap Van Ryns so tonights tipple is Carlos Primero Gran Reserva. It's like drinking Christmas cake

Carlos 1 Gran Reserva is about £36 for a 0.75l bottle, so I was quite pleased to find it at €29 for a litre in Hamburg duty free

Trying some Butts Organic bottle conditioned ale. Mrs ao has just walked through and poured the remains of the bottle, I'd left in the kitchen, into my 3/4 full glass, because 'I hadn't finished it' I now have lumps of yeast and cloudiness...

Perhaps this should be in 1st world problems...

A very nice Fleurie. Went well with duck with and orange and maple sauce. Life's too short to drink new world wines.

Something from Macedonia. It is really lovely. Heavy, dark, fruity, 14% and about £6 a bottle. Waitrose, of course.

Home brew stout - a bit too much head on it, must have over done the priming sugar, but give it time to let the head settle and it is just wonderful.
