Also known as Belphegor's prime.
Belphegor is a prince of hell, and the number contains 666, has thirteen zeroes on each side, and if you want to stretch things a little then you can note that it has 31 digits, which backwards is also 13!
JDAW's turn.

I will grant that that is an interesting number. But the numbers add up to 20 which adds up (as in 2+0) to 2. Numerologically unimportant, Aleister Crowley would have said.

Today, in the Wiseman household, there have been three Ports on the go. Two are obvious. What is the third?

They're fun. Ask Julian what number is halfway again. Act excited that you have only half of infinity to search for an answer. And yes, occasionally learn things.

A Christmas present from Sandeman: sample bottle of Vau 11.

Did you want that? And have you sent me the missing ALS page?

Happy to pass to the first taker.

Will look out the ALS page now.

(Everybody is reminded that this sequence of questions is still conditional on either PhilW or I getting correct PopulusTremula’s most recent question. If we were both wrong then all this will have to be pushed into parentheses, and his question resume.)

Its the first part of a trilogy. Blood's a rover is the third.

It set in the late fifties.

There, on to Google now...

Not wine based.

Brandy is not whisky-related.

Wodka, which is based on grain (such as whisky is, too)

Glayva?

Even closer

DRT wrote:Glayva?

No!

Posted: **22:20 Thu 26 Dec 2013**

Having decided that grain based spirits are a blind alley, (I base this on historical evidence) I fall back on my knowledge of the questioner's taste.
I therefore say a snowball, complete with cherry.

Posted: **22:24 Thu 26 Dec 2013**

Are you looking for a special vodka? Like Absolut (blue label or what the standard stuff is called)?

Posted: **22:26 Thu 26 Dec 2013**

A manhattan?

No. You are all getting colder.

One of these will be in your bed if you don't do some proper guessing.
It was clear and had notes of anise or fennel. It had an extremely long peppery finish. It was served with two ice cubes the first time and three the second.

Single Pork Pie 10 Yr Old?

No.
I do not know what this was made from.
I am in the far north-west of Northern Ireland.

Posted: **23:08 Thu 26 Dec 2013**

If it was my go I would say la fee verte. I thought this earlier but wasn't sure about the grain content. And we should be allowed to entertain ourselves with the odd guess.

Oh it is my go, see above.

Not absinthe.
I do not know the alcoholic strength of this drink.

PoitÃn?

DRT wrote:PoitÃn?

The correct answer, correctly spelt and with the fada (Irish acute accent) in the right place.
This was very good stuff, silky smooth and not fiery, very clear with no blue tinge, with no off notes; definitely what is, indeed, termed "correct".

Posted: **23:27 Thu 26 Dec 2013**

I received one bottle of alcoholic drink for Christmas. What was it?

Posted: **23:29 Thu 26 Dec 2013**

Lambrini.

djewesbury wrote:Lambrini.

No.

Posted: **23:37 Thu 26 Dec 2013**

I guess that only the knowledgeable or foolhardy would try to buy you a bottle at Christmas, I shall stick with Daniels approach; the famous grouse?
