Ballycastle Irish Country Cream from Aldi ....

robwright

 .... tastes like Baileys to me and it’s only £3.75 a bottle! 

Am I an alcoholic?

Have you seen what it’s made of? I’m sure it’s based on white wine, which I didn’t think that Baileys was.
But agreed it’s really tastey, I’ve even got some in the fridge at the moment!

Get it out the fridge and down yer neck!

Ballycastle was pretty popular with my wife and her mates (seems to be a pretty staple kitchen bottle round our friend’s places) so it can’t be too bad.
My brother got me a bottle of the Aldi Bourbon for Xmas (Clarkes? Summat like that). Brilliant. While slightly rougher than Jim Beam White neat, it was excellent for mixed drinks - I am partial to a bourbon and soda or ginger ale and it went down a treat. I also like their French lager - the Stella clone St Etienne (bottle only, cans taste different and not as nice) and 17somethingsomething (the Kronenbourg rip) are fucking ace. Great barbecue beers.

LIDL's methylated spirits is also a nice tipple.

Bad, BAD memories.

In the 90's we used to call it "Posh Milk" ...

It's good in cakes and desserts.

Not if it lasts you a week.

I would say caning a bottle of whiskey a week makes you borderline dependent

Well if you will put it on your cornflakes.

Then have cereal five times a day...

I think it's based on a generic cheap distilled spirit

Ethanol and condensed milk.

Aldi were doing a knock off of Kraken before Christmas. It was called Seadog, it was amazing for £15 and I may have stockpiled while they had it in...
I like their Memphis Bourbon & Coke cans when they stock them too.

The Clarke bourbon is decent - comparable to Jim beam, better than Sainsbury's own brand which tastes very heavily vanilla (as though it has flavouring - I'm sure it doesn't though). Perfect for sours.

They do some decent gins, too, including a very juniper heavy one, a floral one and a spicier one. Lovely stuff.

They did an American-style IPA called Folded Mountains this summer which was a total winner

Hope they get some again this year. I was drinking 18 bottles a day.
