Good choice.
A fine Premier Cru from a little known producer.
Aspall.
Suffolk.
I predict big things for these chaps.

Horrible stuff. Too sweet.
Got some Timothy Taylor for tomorrow, looking forward to that.
Woods rum reminds me of my dad, got really hammered on that with him one night.
Asking in a non-sarcastic manner, does that involve buying gin, buying/picking cranberries, putting the latter into the former and then waiting a bit?
If so, which gin?
Like sloe gin, but with cranberries.........?
Painstakingly putting a pin-prick in each one before dropping them in, leave for several weeks to infuse, job's a good'un ?

Could you not make it at home from scratch although looking it up on the internet you need vodka as the base for the gin.

Yeah. I wasn't going to make my own gin!
It was an experiment, so I just used some I found in the cupboard- didn't want to waste my best gin in case it went horribly wrong. Can't remember which bottle, probably something like Gordon's, I should imagine.
Exactly as you've said. Get cranberries. Prick a small hole in each. Bit of orange zest, sugar, gin. Stir. Sling in a sterilised jar or bottle. Shake every other day. Wait for Christmas. Consume.
Rather pleased with the result, as it goes.

Had a few drinkies earlier at a party just opened a fine Arbilla Roja, perhaps our new signing in a few days time
My house probably does Eve better than the 'Day', so here ya go.....started with a nice little white burgundy, couple of beers here and there, next up my Xmas treat of Lauren Perrier rose, dinner with a Château Neuf du Pape, a few Kraken and cokes spread about from here on, late cheese and biscuits with a St. Emillion, and now chilling out with a quality Chablis.

coke doesnt bring the best out of Kraken its too heavy
try a pint glass,plenty of ice.......about 5 shots of kraken,4 or 5 shots of quality lime cordial(roses) or according to taste and top with soda water.......hey presto party in your mouth caribbean style.
works well with all dark rums,i am a pirate and know these things
