Subject: RE: BS: What's your holiday cheer?
With pleasure, dear boy! PM me and get the first mule train down to Sussex. It's only a humble chateau with 120 acres we have, but I'm sure we can manage you. ;-)

At the moment I have a half-consumed Glenfarclas malt (superb), and unopened bottles of Dalwhinnie Gold and Balvenie Caribbean Cask for Christmas presents. The Balvenie should be interesting as it's been matured in rum casks - wonder what the "nose" will be on that one...

Still to buy: A good gin - possibly Tanqueray - for Martinis, some Armagnac and some brandy.

My (very old-school) Martini recipe:

2 measures of dry gin per person
1 measure of Noilly Prat per person
1 dash of Orange bitters per person

Plenty of ice in the cocktail shaker, add the liquors.
Stir 20 times - do not shake - why add water to the mix?

Pour into cold glasses and add 2 stuffed olives per person.

DRINK!
