    I'm not much of a man for spirits but I will have the odd hot toddy at the colder end of the orbit.

    Story time.

    Last December I had a challenging chest infection that worsened to become painful pleurisy - it felt like I had broken glass wedged in my right lung. Naturally my illness required medication of the pharmaceutical type which I decided to supplement with medicine of the folk type in the form of hot toddys.

    I got myself a cheap bottle of Tesco own brand whiskey, thinly sliced a couple of lemons, carefully rolling up each slice and pushing it through the neck of the bottle, to this I added a generous handful of whole cloves. I left the lemon and cloves to infuse the whiskey for a couple of days and ended up with a delicious elixir that made exquisite hot toddys when a drop of boiling water and teaspoon of brown sugar was added.

    Mmmm medicine.

    So, for relaxing times... ;)

    Not really susprising though, I think Japan has been making some of the best whiskeys ever! Me and a friend drank our local out of the Nikka Coffee Grain whiskey a while back :p

    Bonus, some pics of the distillery via reddit: http://imgur.com/a/Cm27A

    Funnily enough the last time I went drinking with work I did the same thing to that whiskey(Nikka Coffey Grain)!

    Very nice.
