    Not such a good buy....




    Thought this may be OK, sadly though, it tastes of Benylin...
    Have to be used in the cooking ....

    It's a bit like Drambuie IMO - the Jack Daniels liqueur equivalent. Ok in small quantities with a coffeee.

    As someone that considers alcohol consumption redundant (yes, I'm a weirdo...) the first thing I thought when I saw the bottle was that it might be good for making marinades for pork or veal meat.

    Am now teetotal, but I bought a 1L bottle of this when Sainsbury's did it for £18 (down from £32) and quite enjoyed it (though it lasted 6 months! best drank as a little treat once a week)

    My wife got the idea that I liked Southern Comfort and bought me a bottle for my birthdays for a few years until I plucked up the courage to tell her I'd prefer regular whisky. I'm not a lover of sweet alcoholic drinks.

    A splash in your coffee and it'll soon get used up.

    This would be lovely.
    When I told my Dad about this stuff he was quick to turn his nose up as he likes a good Scotch. I managed to get him to try a taster on a channel crossing ferry to which he swiftly invited himself round mine and finished off the bottle with me.

    I'm not a big drinker at all, but Toffee Scnapps and Butterscotch Vodka are nicer than they have any right to be.
    So clever my foot fell off.

    I bought some toffee vodka from Booths, too sweet for me.

    My father bought a similar bottle from the States once. It was relegated almost immediately to hot toddy duties which actually it was quite well suited to. Essentially we're talking about Benylin.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Try the cinnamon version, truly disgusting. Was given a bottle by the mother-in-law for Christmas; I gave it to my neighbour who loves JD, he also thought it was disgusting and gave it to his son 'who drinks anything'......he thought it was disgusting and chucked it

    Received as a gift for Xmas and found it extremely sugary. At least it now has a use. Thanks for the tip.

    yeah this was me, the missus was drinking it for weeks, and I ran out of my favorite Glenlivet, I tried one and it was silky smooth, lovely stuff.

    I really like it - occasionally £10 at Asda too - bargain!

    I'm normally a fan of a good malt but like the raw Jack Daniels taste too. I saw the Tennessee Honey one day (cheap as I said) and thought I'd give it a go - the bottle was empty in about a week.

    Definitely don't agree with the Benylin comment :-)

    Cheers,

    Mark C

    Far far too sweet for me. I go as far as Crown Royal Maple Whiskey, but that is the limit.

    I bought a bottle for a mate for Christmas, he likes very sweet alcohol. I've generally got a very sweet tooth, but it was way too sweet for me.
