Hmm. At £3.50 per bottle how did it compare to the bootleg stuff in Aldi/Lidl? I though they were that sort of money too?

Just to bring this thread back on topic.
The Prestige brand Irish essence for a Bootleg Bailey's is currently ticking all the boxes in these parts of the world.
My nieces will be gob-smacked at what Santa brought this year.
About £3.50 a bottle, plus a little time.

Told them to party over/about my life/death.
No Point in sadness in my opinion.
I am trying to live a life while I have one.

I have considered making my final drink for the wake. Probably including a whisky. Lots of glasses and lots of smiles. Not a black, sad affair.

Not wishing to belittle your post, but I would wish to go with a nice taste upon my lips.
That day draws ever closer, and I strive to do so.

I make Sloe Gin every year Mash. The plan is to
drink this years next year if you know my drift.
I had 2ltrs saved for the winter months but an old
mate Frank loved the stuff. He had cancer and when
his son asked me I took both bottles to him.
He told me a stiff shot or two eased the pain and
it was better than my last brew.
Sadly Frank passed away Hopefully pissed and
smiling from a Sloe overdose.
R.I.P. Frankie...

Holy wotsits,
A recipe that is claiming to be better than Sloe Gin.!

I may have to scale it down and try it.

Robert.
I confess to struggling with 7 litres producing two litres, I will wing it.
