K1874M Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Any one know is and where you can get good quality half bottles? Going to a mates tonight and would like a tasty half bottle to take. Dont want to take a whole bottle as it will just get polished off! cheap skate! When I say good quality I aint talking morgans or Bicardi... Maybe Havana, Appleton Estate, Angostura, Mount Gay any help apprciated! Reckon the emporium on broughton street could be a good start.... but not sure if the above brands do half bottles.

Boof Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 What's with the girly stuff? You want a 40-ouncer of something manly like Stewart's, Watson's or OVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My how times have changed! what happened to raiding your old boys drinks cabinet and chucking it all in a big coke bottle. You could always try a soda-stream bottle that would fit in your handbag.

Tazio Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 You're only going to end up arsing the half bottle quicksmart and then sit bumping your gums that you don't have any more. If you have too much then you can leave a bit, if you have a little bit you can't make any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try drinking Bacardi straight over ice and all becomes clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said... hate bacardi, havana's nice but it aint no Appleton Est or Angostura, which is cracking on its own or with a touch of lemonade and fresh lime... Mouths watering!

Taz, ANY imported booze over here is at least HALF the price we get it for back home....Japan is an alcoholic's paradise! Not to mention the japanese beverages! Good job I only break out on friday's and holidays! LOL! Cheers! Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The Aussies are bawbags but with this they have done ok... A mate of mine visited the distillery there and came back all evangelical about it... One of his better ideas. It's good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 The Aussies are bawbags but with this they have done ok... Great stuff. Had a couple of nights rounded off a bit unfortunately with the OP version though. Great stuff but it's amnesia in a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True.... it's forking nice went down so well with a some nice green sitting in front of an open fire. Perfect tipple. The guy in the emporium's very helpful, he offered me a taste of a couple he had open and told me about the rum tasting at that rum bar opposite Britannia Spice. Will be down at the end of the month to try another. Just remembered it was the Barbencourt I tasted in the shop. Here's another Edinburgh shop worth visiting. http://www.royalmilewhiskies.com/category.asp?cat_id=O_RUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
