Me? Asbach Uralt brandy, with a tiny dash of cabernet sauvignon .... a mere tickle.
I still have an unopened bottle of NAAFI Remy Champagne Cognac I got in Germany in the late 70’s, also a Bacardi Gold same era.
We gave a couple of civi MT drivers a lift back in a Chinook with the Chevy estate they went out to RAFG to bring back, one of them brought a 3 litre bottle of Asbach with the wrought iron stand in the Chevette, we warned him he would be stung on the duty, but the kind customs bod at Manston smiled and let it through.. we were floored.
