The 21 Year Old PX Cask Finished single malt from Bunnahabhain is an absolute banger.

Big sherry as you'd expect. Lots of nutty European oak. Charred pineapple, orange, toffee apple and cocoa powder. Creamy, complex, long and warming. Lovely.

I love pastis but somehow it never tastes the same outside southern France.

Context is powerful when it comes to how you experience a drink and whether or not you enjoy it.

Anyway, I’m here now and this tastes glorious. Santé! 🇫🇷

Arrived in France (Aude) and stocked up on some important supplies.

Just in time for un p’tit apéro 🇫🇷🍷☀️

It’s been a(nother) hot day here in London. Vermouth over ice just feels right as the evening cools slightly and dinner time draws near.

Quick summer drinking tip: if you like Pimm’s but find it a bit too sweet, you’ll probably love a Gin & It.

My banana, planted in the new garden just last week, has gone a bit floppy.

Can this leaf be saved or should I just chop it off?

Feel free to take this and stick it on whatever.

Experimenting this works with a tomato liqueur from Japan. Details in the alt text.
