take one hip flask, add single malt whisky.
then add some more whisky.
repeat 'till full. then drink

quite right!

no sense in 'poisoning' a perfectly good (malt) whisky, as my old man would say.

I'm not much of a whisky drinker :yikes:

But am often found with either sloe gin or port in my hip flask

Although I'm tempted to try a few whiskys again now my taste buds have "matured" a little

 

[Graham_S]

currently in my hip flask is "cock o' the north"
it's similar to drambuie but it's made of single malt, blaeberry, and a secret ingredient.
very nice. i'll have it with me at the new year northern meet.

Lephraoig for me - the MOST beautiful whisky known to man (and some hairy scottish women as well...)

That whisky Mead is such a good choice. I took some with me to Whitby in the spring a couple of years ago and once people found out what was in my hip flask I struggled to keep any for myself. After going to a hammerin in kent where Trond Pedersen had some Aqua Vit, I'm seriously trying to get hold of some of that as a winter treat for myself, seriously nice stuff, the flavour hits your tounge, the whole thing bypasses your throat and hits your stomach with a very pleasant warming sensation

I have Jamesons in mine, good and warming after preparing rabbit skins in subzero weather

Good strong moonshine. Pour it in good hot coffee, preferably made in the woods.

Southern Comfort beautiful stuff.

[Wettstuff]

As has been said before, nowt wrong woth a decent drop of whisky.
The other week i tried some jelly baby gin (don't hurt me yet) the guy who made it said you need to drain (preferably into yourself) a quarter of a bottle then add a bag of jelly babys and leave for 8-10 months untill they have dissoleved.
Honestly its not to bad its a lot fruityer and sweeter than sloe gin but just a pleasent.

I usually go for a single malt & after years of trying I haven’t found one I don’t like
But some are better than others. My other half likes Drambuie - also good stuff.
Southern comfort is not for me

Hip flasks are great when walking.
Anyone else like Mulled Wine sitting by a fire

Used to work in a factory making hip flasks. One year there was a health scare about the contents picking up lead from solder.
While the solder has mostly changed to lead free. The advise at the time was not to leave spirits in the flask for weeks on end for this to happen, but to empty the flask after/during each trip & refill the next time.

Even more important use a funnel to fill it so you don’t spill any

 

[benmatthews90]

try honey rum or "nelsons blood" (spicy booze rum) or (homemade) mulberry vodka mmmm!!!
