Whisky Bullets Will Cool Your Shots

I’m not much for drinking hard alcohol, but one of my biggest pet peeves is a watered down Dr. Pepper, so I can still get behind these Whisky Bullets. These are stainless steel slugs that keep your drink nice and cool.

Simply put them in the freezer for at least four hours, then drop them in your whisky or Dr. Pepper and they will chill the drink without melting and watering it down.

You can get a set of six Whisky Bullets each measuring 2.5″ tall and 0.5″ in diameter for $44.99(USD) at ThinkGeek. If you want that awesome black cylinder to store the bullets in, you will need to cough up another $24.99. Not cheap, but they are very cool.

This Fabric Permanently Smells Like Whisky

I don’t know about you, but I have always dreamed of being able to smell like whiskey 24/7. Today is the day when dreams come true. The Heriot Watt University’s School of Textiles and Design teamed up with Harris Tweed and Johnny Walker (who else?) to develop a fabric that permanently smells like Johnny Walker Black scotch whisky.

This should go over really well in traffic stops, parent/teacher meetings, conference rooms at work, etc.

The tweed carries aromas of rich malt, golden vanilla, red fruit and dark chocolate tones and has been designed to reflect the colors of the whisky ingredients. The scent is layered into the fabric throughout the finishing process and is permanently imbued in the tweed that will not go off even after dry cleaning.

This is all part of their plan to make sure that thrift stores smell like booze by the year 2040 isn’t it?

That second image is just weird. The guy looks like he’s channeling the woman from Outlander. Apparently he’s just ripped the kilt off some other dude and he’s just kinda having a victory drink. Whatever floats your whisky soaked boat, I guess.

I say, if you want to smell like booze all the time, just drink it.

Whisky Wedge Perfects The Drinking Experience

whiskey_wedge_1

When drinking whisky, you want to chill your liquor as much as possible, while diluting it as little as possible. There are many ways to accomplish this, from using chilled metal pucks to shaping your ice into a giant ball. You can now add the Whisky Wedge to that list. It’s a combination tumbler and silicone mold that shape your ice into a wedge that perfectly fits the glass. This way your liquor rests against an inclined surface of ice, but not more, preventing the melting of too large a volume of water and the diluting of your drink. It also looks kind of slick. It’s $15 and comes with the glass and the mold.
