Balvenie Doublewood
« Reply #61 on: December 05, 2007, 20:16 »
On offer at T*sco until 9-Dec-07 only

70cl Balvenie Doublewood Malt Whisky for £16.99 made here (distillery is just out of shot to the left)



This stuff is bl**dy nectar and that is one heckuva good price.   Buy some for yourself, some for your parents, some for your in-laws, even some for me if you'd be so kind.

And if you do, then put only two things into the glass with it ... a little iced water and/or more Doublewood.  :wink:

Thanks, WG, well handy, have got a couple of family members, who forever ask for whisky only for Christmas presents. :lol: xx

There may be other Balvenie malts on the shelf too - Director's Reserve, Single Barrel but these are not as good as Doublewood IMXO  :wink:

Rutherglen Estates 2006 Shiraz
« Reply #70 on: January 01, 2008, 18:55 »
Can you tell its a Christmas present?  Kind in-laws bought me some Aussie reds which would normally be outside my budget.

Tonight I'm having a Rutherglen Estates 2006 Shiraz and very nice it is too.  Full bodied and dry without any of the really dry dustiness which real Shiraz drinkers seem to crave.

Oh sorry, Sally A, I almost forgot the bit you need to know - a whopping 14.5% abv :wink:

Mine's a meagre 14%, the bottom half of the bottle tastes better than the top half, the good stuff must have settled 8)

A good full bodied red clings to the side of the glass.

No, Sally, by the time you get to the bottom anything would taste better. :wink:
