Just waiting for a chance to try these side by side

Innis and Gunn

I love Innis and Gunn, particularly the 750ml bottle as opposed to the 330ml ones. Its got a lovely soft toffee taste BEWARE : the clear glass bottles can lead to awful skunking, and Tesco wont take it back, I've had that arguement. Get yourself a fresh bottle, store in the dark. Enjoy by yourself (I am greedy) Available in Tesco, Superquinn, Super Valu and assorted specialist off licences. Tesco definitely stock 750ml bottles though @ €5.76

Fraoch - 20 Year Anniversary

Image
Lovely stuff this, its a special addition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Williams Bros Froach, Heather Ale. Heather Ale is an age old Scottish brew, that Williams Bros re-engineered and introduced to the market. Its light, fresh, strong and fragrant. A tasty wee drop. The 20th Anniversary is a different animal. 11% means its got kick, it has bags of raisin fruit, the heather is there and tangy finish. Its great for sharing, the three glasses in my pic testify to that. I had bought a bottle but was iffy about opening it, waiting for a special occasion, so I bought a second bottle to save for some future date and opened this one on what was a special evening, my little fella's 4th birthday. (after all the kids were gone though)
