The **Now Drinking** Thread

Drinking the last of the Balvenie 16yo Triple Cask. Lovely whisky - pity it's finished :(

Getting very low on whisky now, I think a whisky exchange order may be required very soon.
 
My PC Cinema room's latest addition, tiny hot/cold espresso/coffee maker, has given me a taste for Disaronno latte's.

Not currently drinking but I've had one each of these this week, and they are stunning if you like big aussie shiraz..

Magpie Estate 'The Election' @£25.49

Magpie Estate 'The Schnell' @12.59

Magpie Estate 'The Sack' Shiraz @£14.99
http://www.nywines.co.uk/triedandtes...p?wineID=21389

Particularly good was The election, but the Schnell is really not far behind, and incredible for the price.

For reference, I prefer the Election to Dead arm, Mcrae wood and Aberfeldy.

Having a Maple Mojito - that's a mojito made with maple syrup instead of sugar. I used Appleton's rum as I'm not keen on white rum. Turned out pretty good - a bit sweet so I'll cut back the maple syrup a bit for the next one (sadly, I only have enough rum left for one :(). When I was assembling the ingredients I noticed I'd made a schoolboy error - I don't have any straws in the house (which is kind of useful when you're drinking something with crushed ice in it). I had a bit of a think and had a brainwave. I got a bamboo cane from the greenhouse, cut it to length and cleaned out the centre. It works a treat - I'm keeping this one :D
