Spirits - Which is the king?

[Kanda]

Bacardi is rum isn't it?

Girls rum

 

[Madusa]

I cant ever drink vodka which is a shame cos I think i read somewhere it has the least calories.

 

[tarannau]

Strictly yes, but its rum in the same sense that tesco value whisky is whisky

 

[ChrisFilter]

and Bells is whisky and Kirov is vodka.

Your palate may mature one sonny.

If we're talking about palate I'd rather sip on some nicely mellowed 25 year+ single malt than the sickly sweet produce of distilled cane sugar thanks.

Ghastly stuff. Almost as bad as brandy.

 

[El Jefe]

Urgh.



Ponce.

you're an idiot who's taste in spirits is as sophisticated as your taste in music.

IE - not.

 

[girasol]

Surely that totally negates the point?

Not if it makes you feel confident, chatty and full of energy, but without feeling drunk. Drunk like you would feel if you had drunk a similar amount of some other spirit and you can't stand up straight. Not a feeling I like.

The last time I drank good whisky I remember thinking 'this is what good cocaine must feel like'

 

[zenie]

Both are girls drinks.

Girl.

I disagree! Vodka isn't a girls drink, maybe if you dilute it with some horrid mixed then it is

You're just bitter than your palate is too old and knackered to deal with the complexities of a decent single malt

 

[madzone]

Yes but you're a girl

I'll make a concession for anyone remotely baltic

Aye, because fermentation in 25 year old rums leaves their essential sugariness intact, doesn't it? Mmm, I prefer a bit of fermented barley or corn rather than sugar cane.

Nonsense, isn't it. Rum's brewed on an industrial scale as well, but often to a higher integrity and sourced simplicity than blended cheapo scotches. And the bst of rum is matured and kept in conditions very similar to the best of vintage whiskys.

 

[Kanda]

'The complexities' of a fucking drink? Give over you ponce

Geezus fucking christ

 

[madzone]

Tequila is actually quite a complex tasting drink if you try a decent one

 

[madzone]

'The complexities' of a fucking drink? Give over you ponce

Geezus fucking christ

Drinks can be complex

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

'The complexities' of a fucking drink? Give over you ponce

I'd still rather have a complex drink than a sophisticated one

 

[Kanda]

Drinks can be complex

Really. Ok.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Drinks can be complex

Of course

 

[dodgepot]

vodka's very good in white russians or moscow mules or in other cocktails, but when it's just vodka and coke or whatever i can leave it, cheers.

 

[Kanda]

I'd still rather have a complex drink than a sophisticated one

Sophisticated now??? Fucking hell

 

[madzone]

Really. Ok.

Of course they can, just like food can. Why wouldn't they be?

 

[Kanda]

Of course they can, just like food can. Why wouldn't they be?

Tell me how a drink is complex pls. Thx.

 

[madzone]

Of course

There was no question mark, dear. Do keep up. Even Kanda understood

 

[madzone]

Tell me how a drink is complex pls. Thx.

You're such a bellend.

Different layers of taste. Aromas etc. I take it you don't like whisky?

 

[Grobelaar]

No Brandy/Cognac option - a glaring error surely - or does it count as something posh?

No, Bees is just shit at polls

 

[rutabowa]

shane macgowan said that brandy was the drink to watch out for, if you got on a brandy habit it would send you mental and kill you... so i will go for that.
