    Is absinthe as really that popular in Europe as the media here makes it seem?

      You can buy it in most pubs in the UK (well, around here you can), my local convenience store also has it, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it popular. I have drank it on occasions, and always found it a little disappointing.

            My tastebuds enjoy the Glenlivet 15 year and the Suntory 12.  Im not much into hard liquor anymore.  Dont really drink much beer either, as it seems that anything past 2 pints gives me a headache and a hangover….

              RP nice collection dying to get my hands on the Pappy I have missed all the releases over the last 2 years. My understanding is Jeffersons Reserve Presidential 18 is basically the same thing and that is the best bourbon I have ever tasted.

                I am a big fan of bourbon been trying to track down a bottle of pappy van winkles now for two years. The search continues. My favorite bourbon is Four Roses. When drinking whiskey I like Hibiki.

                Just bought a bottle of 15 year old online from amathusdrinks.com.

                Ridiculous price, but I only indulge myself booze-wise on occasion, so what the hell…

                    It was mentioned in a novel I'm reading and I thought, ' what the hell?'. Then I saw your post and thought I'd share the fun.  Not many options on where to buy in the UK, but I can't wait for it to arrive.

                            Found today. Never opened Mortlach 12 year old. Bottled in 1990 by Gordon and McPhail. Bought 4-5 years ago, just as the new security regulations were brought in :(. So it's been stuck in France ever since. One of these years…

                                  Nate, its' on dude. My wife tells me that if I ruin a day in New York by being hung over, then I am a dead man…...fortunately I am functioning drunk, and able to complete basic tasks whilst hung over. I simply require a couple of Motrin or Advil, and pint of Tropicana, a bar of Chocolate, and a large strong coffee and I am ready to roll.....sort of.

                                  **Disclaimer, unless I drink any Red Wine, which I hate and hates me, and makes me feel ill for absolutely days. With a dull headache and a vague feeling of sickness.

                                    Red wine's tricky… Calvados is where it's at...  🙂

                                      I think that the thing with Red Wine is that in general you have to pay out a fair amount of money to get good stuff (in England at least), and I just don't love it enough to pay out for it. Hence, I always end up drinking shit, and feeling like shit as a result  😠

                                          I suspect that good cheap wine is easier to get on the continent, than here in merry old Albion though.
