      Bourbon fans, try Woodford Reserve, it's good gear, I've tried most bourbons and like this one. Also like JD and it's special versions like Single Barrel , Silver Select. Also like the high end Grand Marniers. Apart from that I like the good Spanish reds, Rioja and Ribero del duero. For lager it has to be Alhambra Especial. :)

      I'm off to a Christmas party with a company that I work with and they have a guy from Woodford Reserve there - training us on bourbon cocktails!

      I do <3 an Old Fashioned so really looking forward to it!

      Doom Bar is a nice drop, however, only the cask is made in Cornwall. Thus the cask (what you get in decent pubs) and the cans / bottle taste different as they use different water.

      I prefer the cask myself :)

      Yep, Doombar certainly isn't the same stuff when in a bottle.
      As a Cornishman I can definately confirm this :)

      Don't drink that much ale anymore, but another favourite Christmas tipple is the odd bottle of Innis & Gunn.
      If you haven't tried it, go for it!
      It's an ale brewed in Old Whiskey Barrels - Very nice!
      Just for 1 or 2 mind - Not something you could drink all night.
