Fox blood / Foxblood
Somebody posted a while back about a drink called "Foxblood" but I can't find it with the search function.
Anybody help?

If I remember correctly, Jock Scot mentioned it at some point.
It was whisky and port wine I believe.

I think you're right. I wonder whether the whisky should be smokey or smooth....

My wife and I do wine tours. The only thing I have learned is that I do not like cool weather reds. But they are fun.
No, I cannot claim to be the inventor of "fox's blood", it is an old and very traditional flask filler from the hunting(British definition of horses and hounds) world. These days whilst the hunting world still use it, the mixture has also moved into the shooting, fishing and point to point circles as well. `It is also a very traditional and effective "tummy settler" for those who may be feeling a tad delicate.

How on earth did you find it? I tried the search engine and came up cold.
Thanks a million!

I think ir was decided (in an earlier thread) that you have a knack for these things. I too remember when Jock posted about fox blood, but was sure it was in the "What dram is in your quaich" thread.

Ah brandy, then. Tastes being so very subjective, I don’t think I could resist giving the smoky whisky a try! Of course, you would have to rename it - Fox’s sweat, etc.

I have used Fox Blood as a flask fill in the past. A blend of 3 parts port with 1 part brandy. Inexpensive versions of both work fine.

There is a variation mentioned in On The Road by Jack Kerouac - Wine-Spodiodi. Two parts Port, one part Whisky.
