    The Martini Thread

    I have never understood the concept of a martini without vermouth. Because then it is just gin, surely. Which is not a martini. It's cold gin. Oh, and how do you do your lemon twists as I am apparently completely inept.

    Why can't i have a black suit?

    I don't like black suits in the summer because I find them to be too hot. Black retains heat. Or maybe thats just me. I also think that a plan black suit can look...boring? I prefer them with a subtle pinstripe or texture, something to break it up a bit. theber

    New to Bourbon

    Well just picked up a bottle of Knob Creek that I have happily discovered my whisky shop does. Not cheap at £30 a bottle but damn its worth it.

    Cigarettes

    but I take it for granted that you´re considerate enough to not pollute my lungs and nice clothing when you decide to smoke. Loving the international debate going here. I always ask if people mind if I light up when I'm not around smokers, and if they have an issue I don't. I don't even mind...

    Cigarettes

    If someone pulls out a cigarette case, my reaction would be the same for a man wearing a cape. Would you say the same of a hip flask or a decanter? It is merely something to hold them in that is more aesthetically pleasing than the package they came in. A slightly pretentious affectation...

    Where does it come from?

    Today was my day off so I was sat in the sun enjoying a glass of whisky and a cigar and I started contmeplating things. I will start off as saying that this is not meant as arrogant just in case it does come across that way. So, two exmaples. I was at a wedding recently. My friend is a...

    Cigarettes

    This.......genuinely scares the h@ll out of me.... Tell me about it. Nanny state or what! Just because of the issues of the minority the majority have to suffer.

    Cigarettes

    I can´t imagine a less classy "habit" than smoking. Nothing reeks more than a smoker, and people know what Big Tobacco bribed the movie majors with to make Bogart look "classy". These days, most smokers look like addicts on the lowest rung of the socio-economic ladder - not the "classy" bon...

    Ardbeg 10 Scotch

    Anything with Ardbeg printed on it seems to fetch lots of £££$$$ these days. I was looking about on the internet and found Ardberg 1974 going for £10,000 ($14,300+) Mind you, it was two bottles with case, pen, eight silver cups etc etc http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-7209.aspx

    Pre and Post Dinner Drinks

    I work in a castle hotel in scotland. Yeah aperitifs etc is probably a little pretentious but serving it to people all day every day has rubbed off on me. Besides I dont mean this as an every day occurence but when going out to a dinner, especially a more formal one. Its the old fashioned...

    Pre and Post Dinner Drinks

    I am all for the aperitif and digestif. Just wandering what you guys drink before and after a dinner. I tend to go for Gin and Tonic (Bombay Sapphire) before and then a scotch after

    Cigarettes

    then again, if they are going to limit alcohol too i'd be willing to pick up the pitchfork and torch and show my government how I truely feel about their policy.... I just took my personal alcohol licence. In september in Scotland all "irresponsible" drinks promotions will be banned eg happy...

    Starching collars

    Due to the nature of my job need to wear a suit but they tend to take a lot of abuse. I'm an assistant manager in a small hotel so from day to day I can be doing anything from serving food and drink to cleaning rooms and scrubbing ovens. For this reason I buy cheap suits and shirts that I won't...

    Pocket Square

    I am thinking of starting to wear a pcket square. I have, however, no idea how one is supposed to be worn. So my questions are 1) Is t matched to shirt, tie or suit 2) How is it supposed to be folded 3) Is it something I should be doing every day or on more formal occasions I already wear a...

    Cigarettes

    This is a very old thread but i thought I'd bring it up again. We are currently going through a health crusade in the UK. Smoking is banned in all enclosed public places. It can be difficult to rent a flat if you smoke. Cigarette packs now have pictures of cancerous lungs and babies on...

    Manscaping anyone?

    I shave my nads and trim my pubes but other than that no. Used to shave my legs when i was cycling competitively. Fun fact, that has very little aerodynamic advantage but it makes it easier to pick gravel from your leg when you crash.

    New to Bourbon

    Hello All I was recently given a bottle pf Bulleit bourbon. I am mainly a scotch drinker and living in Scotland it is fair to say I am spoilt for choice. It is a massive part of the culture here and there is so much history and personality around it. However, I really don't know much about...

    Johnny Walker Scotch- Which is the best tasting label?

    Got to agree with ed1066 here. Blended and Single Malt whiskies are a different thing and shouldn't be compared. Not a huge JW fan. For blended whisky I tend to drink Black Bottle. As has been said Highland Park would be a good Single Malt to try, not too harsh for a new drinker and the 12...
