I like mega capsicum once in a while (so hot your head numbs)

I've only made a bottle of whisky liqueur recently.
Bramble whisky, made with freshly picked brambles (or blackberries) from 
the bit of waste ground out the back.
Of course I didn't stick to the recipe, instead opting for a cross of 
Maple/Bramble/Drambuie recipes (Half Maple Syrup, half honey, a dash of 
treacle/golden syrup, fennel seeds, star anise, cloves, a hint of ginger 
syrup and some other stuff)
All made from a bottle of Glenmorangie, but any cheap single or blend 
would have done.
Supposed to let mellow out for a month at least.
Don't steep all the berries and spices for that long though. About a week.
Looks good. Really smells like drambuie, but is a very deep purple colour ;)
