Rolling Ice Ball Makes Your Whiskey Slightly More Flavourful

I drink my whiskey on the rocks. Big Boss Joe Brown calls me a little girl when I say that (like, with ringlets and bows). But at least I can make my cold/ruined whiskey a little more aromatic with this big rolling ball of ice in a glass.

Back In The Day, Everything Was Sold In Vending Machines

The other day I stumbled upon one of those futuristic vending machines that sell ridiculous items that I’d never buy from a vending machine. There was no way in hell I was dropping 200 bucks in that machine just to see an iPod get stuck. Ah, vending machines, when did they get so complicated?

Johnny Walker’s iPhone App Is Sadly BYO Whisky…

I’m really into whiskey, but I think I’ll pass on tasting Gilpin Family Whisky. Why? Because this single malt whiskey is made from urine. Specifically, it’s made from the sugar rich urine of elderly diabetics.
