ynot14,
After 2 bouts of malaria well inside year in Africa in the 70s, I lost the taste for scotch and ended up on cognac - like you, I'll drink any good one, but Hine is my favourite. There's no brandy here to speak of but the VSOP + quality rums are really something special - my No. 1 is not from here it's Mount Gay Extra Old from Barbados - a very fine drink, M G Extra Old. I never took to vodka due to lack of taste, though I ''tried hard'' for a few weeks....
I hope you have a good time at the wedding and a fine friendly Friday reunion. Walsall Arboretum..takes me back 50 odd years to when there was a bloke living 30ft? up a pole there - anyone else remember that? I can't recall what his purpose was as there was no wait for it pole taxAfter 2 bouts of malaria well inside year in Africa in the 70s, I lost the taste for scotch and ended up on cognac - like you, I'll drink any good one, bit Hine is my favourite.
