Frivolous booze post
Ok, I'm very easily pleased.
But this afternoon in T5 GF I noticed that the summer gin showcase now includes Brockmans. This is my favourite gin ever and it's simply divine. It made for a very pleasant afternoon waiting to head back up north to to LBA. Actually, I was as enthusiastic as a springer spaniel pup and spent all afternoon bouncing round the lounge testing out which cakes work best with Brockmans.
So - which booze do you wish would be showcased in the lounge?
And is there a recommended cake to accompany it?

And more details on the gin promotion here.

They have added some more lines to this promotion, including Brockman's - most notably Sipsmith - to go with the Fevertree tonic - but I'll add some photos to the above thread to keep it in one place.

Beavertown or Brew Dog IPAs, Disaronno (have a feeling this may be there/I'm always forgetting to check if they have it), some sort of cider, and seconding the Lagavulin 16yo!
Brockmans also, of course, a very welcome addition although I must confess to preferring Greenalls myself...

Will drink no other!
White Lightning to go with the Buckfast as well. There should be an alkie/vagrant option.
