Some of this for me tonight - Spirit Of Yorkshire, a maturing malt from Yorkshire's only distillery. Next year will see the launch of their first Single Malt. I'm looking forward to that one! #spiritofYorkshire
 
If you ever get a chance to go to their distillery you can sample some pre diluted stuff at about 70%, it's got a kick.
 
Just back from a trip to Ireland which included a visit to Bushmills Distillery. Tasted the 12 Years Old Distillery Reserve (only available at Bushmills itself) and Bushmills Red. Both extremely smooth and and delightful on the palate. I like whiskey as well as whisky although I don't profess to be knowledgeable. I know what I like and what I don't like which might not always correspond with the views of 'experts'.
 
I like a good cider I'll have to look out for that one.

Have a good break!
 
You need to have it in the frosted glass to appreciate it properly!

To think this was only four weeks ago, it feels like a lifetime :cry:

That's one I'd be very interested in trying (y)

I don't believe in wine or whisky experts. Everyone has a different pallet.

As Mrs F found out during a wine tasting tour of the Hunter Valley.

Whilst sat with lunch and a selection of wines to sample Mrs F (in an attempt to sound sophisticated) asked our host something about 'their correct procedure for tasting wines?' The reply, in a thick Aussie accent was along the lines of 'take a sip and if you like it, swallow. This ain't f@#cking France ya know!"

She wasn't impressed with the tears of laughter rolling down my face :)
 
And tonight's cider is from Devon.

My wife is a fan of Thatchers Gold when it comes to cider. They are based about five miles from Bristol Airport. Somerset is a county big on cider of course.

Yep i've loaded from there a few times and sampled there cider which is very nice! Another one i like is Henry Westons which is made in Herefordshire.

Herefordshire is another county with a great cider tradition, with Bulmers coming to mind amongst others.
 
Yes, Westons is a fine cider made in Much Marcle. But there are now a lot of artisan cider makers in the county producing perhaps the best ciders ever to grace a dining table.

I now live just outside Leominster and there are three excellent producers within a radius of about five miles of my home. On an evening like tonight i just go and sit in my barn with a bottle and slowly watch the sun go down. Heaven, sheer heaven....

While mentioning Bulmers i used to have close links with the company while working as a journalist and for me the finest cider they ever produced was one called King's Acre, a single variety cider made exclusively with Kingston Black apples, a variety reckoned by experts to produce the finest cider - and i can vouch for that.

Sadly, because it was not a volume cider, i don't thin they make it any more.
