Tesco own - brand Scotch. For some reason, this is just bang-on perfect (to my taste), very caramelly and good peat too. Yum yum and about 7£ a bottle.

Er, isn't the point that the sugar turns to alcohol and becomes infused with the vodka? Melting the skitles is just turning them to liquid.

The strength of the vodka wouldn't allow any alcoholic fermentation.

Black can be pricey but it's still nothing on it's same priced rivals. It's all marketing I tell you, and look everybody in the UK and america fell for it.

I'd love to see that agency get the "Ferrero Rocher" contract. Or is that delicacy completely beyond the pale?

Tesco finest gin is quite nice - less than £10 a bottle, and 43%. Shits on gordons any day and considerably cheaper than any other 'premium' brands (I can't bring myself to buy sapphire in this country - painfully expensive).

Yes, I'm no expert but there must be a difference between the vodka eating away at the skittles and adding a juice to the vodka. For instance the skittles vodka is not all that sweet.
