new to the flock Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Seeing as there are so many makers of Sloe Gin and other libations on this forum, I am proposeing a new contest. The rules are very simple everyone who wishes to entre must send a micky of their home made Sloe Gin or whisky to me via the Mail service. I will dutifully drink each and everyone of them and rank them in order from good to better to best. The winner will recieve the covetted Mars Bar, and I will recieve some Sloe Gin. God how I miss sloe Gin Someone pleasssssssssse mail me some sloe gin I have finished my last bottle of Cloud Berry Brandy PPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darebear Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 do you have any bloody idea how much it'll COST to mail that? andddddd not to mention all that bubble wrap to ensure its safe flight across the pond? want a recipe emailed instead? or is that what you meant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Ice Princess, My Luv Quit being sensible .....this is a perfectably good way for me to build up a stock of slow gin without having to wait a year. and as we have no sloes here the reciepe route wont work As for the mailing most micky bottles are now plastic so a minimal of bubble wrap will be needed and the cost is trivial when you consider the prestige if you are the winner of the contest ...... not to mention the covetted Mars Bar :o Besides you are allowed to swing your broom around this way once all entries are collected and help me judge NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Pat Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi NTTF I've got some 15 year old Sloe Gin that was most appreciated when passed round at a driven day for the Rough Shooting Club. Due to its age it is very smooth and not too sweet, but sadly I do not have an export licence. So next time you are over this end of the water? I have also stored away every year since 2002 some Belgian beer called Chimay Blue. This is said to improve in flavour up to five years of keeping, and this year is the fifth for my first batch. I'll let you know if it's worth the wait. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 15 year old Sloe Gin .....drool, drool, drool There must be away man, think.....THINK You know Ice Princess could fly her broom under the radar.......but could she be trusted with such precious cargo NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Pat Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Alass no, she would neck the lot then fly into one of our 'blue remembered hills'. I'm afraid I'll have to dole the last of it out at our next driven day, it should get me a few (lots of) bevvies at the annual club meal afterwards. Look on the bright side the shoot I now belong to has loads of sloes on it, so I shall start making it again. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 What do you do with the Sloes afterwards? I've got half a bottle of them. I nearly chucked them out in the garden but then I thought: If they're soaked in gin and a pigeon ate them, would it start flying upside down drunk?
