    Isopropal Alohol 500 ml
    Soak for two weeks in a dark place, 1 Lime and 1 orange peel, 2 sticks cinnamon, half a dozen fresh bayleaves.
    Strain off. Top off with 100 ml dark rum.
    Put more or less peel or bay leaves as you like it. I have seen recipies using Vodka instead of IPA and allspice instead of/and cinnamon.
    I may have to try this in secret. It may push the wife over the edge

    She is buying me a bottle of ogallala for my birthday. I found an order confirmation email, really it was an accident! I'll keep it on the quiet as I'm quite pleased. As far as I knew you couldn't get it here in blighty.
    I tried to get some here, I could only buy it from amazon and one other shop MickR told me about, but.it was so expensive compared to buying from ogallala that I baulked, I might give making some a go though.
    I think that you have to use a certain type of bay leaf to get it right.

    She got it from a site called McGuires Barbershop based in Newcastle. £16 for 8oz bottle and if it's good then no worse than the expense of TOBS which comes in a clear plastic bottle rather than a nice cobalt blue glass bottle.

    Yes I would like it just because of the bottle, but would like to smell at least a bay rum first. I could buy a caterpack of Wahl I think it's about $35 a litre off the bay in a big ugly plastic bottle that you could put a pump top onto, which would be ok, except I don't want to be stuck with a litre of something I won't use.
    I might look out when I am traveling about and see what I can find.

    I've tried the Dominica and Clubman brands. The Dominica had a strong clovey scent, and the Clubman seems a bit more subdued and cinnamony. (sorry for the invented words ) Next on the list is Ogalala and Captains Choice.

    Just realised your in Oz too. Telling you the only place in the UK you can get it is not ver helpful lol

    I'm looking forward to it. The only mainstream scent I can get on with anymore is blue water.

    Well I am coming over this week, but I am not going to Newcastle, Bombay told me it would be a cany detour on my way to Glasgow from Gloucestershire.
    I should really have known seeing as I spent the first 28 years, or 80% of my life in the uk, I lived just outside wigan for a bit, but never travelled much further into the grim north, except when we flew into Glasgow from Norway, then drove back to gloucestershire from there.

    Aye, it would be a canny detour if you've never been and you could visit McGuires and pick up a bottle of bay rum, after sniffing it, to take home.

    I've never been to a city that comes close to Newcastle. Alright I'm from there but it's a beautiful, cultured, busy, relaxed city with a lot of history.
