I'm partial to single malt whiskies, but don't get to try many. Dark rum is a more regular tipple. Spiced rum is particularly nice.

Either of the Redbreasts(12yr or 15yr)simply for quality and value.
Gin wise, it would have to be either Hendricks or Crimson. Both copper pot distilled, fresh, clean, but with omly a smidgin of tonic.

Spicy dark rum. I'm off to the Caribbean in june so can't wait to try some nice rum there.
I'll drink gin if I have too and am partial to whiskey sometimes but I don't usually drink spirits. And don't even ask about my vodka night of shame <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Really?? Cos many people have said different. My mam, who is a gin drinker by nature, says it's a completely different drink. My father, who tasted it on Monday, expressed shock at how it tastes nothing like gin, I can drink it, and like it, and I hate gin. My cousin has also said it's significantly different from normal gin.

It still has juniper in it, so it'll still have that distinctive taste, but I think it's different enough.

And it should never be drunk with lemon or anything, as on expert opinion (my mother's <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->) it tastes of nothing special, just a slightly different but otherwise unremarkable gin.

I tasted Michael Collins single malt at a food fair before Christmas and it was lovely and peaty. It's made by the Cooley distillery in Louth which is the only independant distillery left in the country.
