I liked my visit to Minneapolis/St. Paul.
GravyEducation
Super bowl, business, or pleasure? This town is the jewel of the Midwest, no offense Chicago
skybluestar
Concert!! What amazing nice people. Visiting from Camada. The snow was nothing.
Gollycat
Which concert? Minneapolis/St.Paul has a phenomenal concert scene!
skybluestar
Dan Auerbach. Packed.

The second movie I ever owned on vhs. ET was the first.
Waytigo
First was the land before time for me and this 2nd too
PatrickRob82
If you have an old VHS copy of that flick and pause it at just the right time, you can see Jessica Rabbit's vagene
StrawberryPrincess92
or I can just type "Jessica Rabbit" in a hentai foundry search. Much easier.
PatrickRob82
Yeah but.... I need to feel special for having something old and semi rare, so..

If you are drinking Makers, I'm sad I can't join you

Makers is good for a cheaper whiskey. If you can find Black Bull 40 year, try it. The 7 year sucked, the 40 was great

TacticalGrape
Maybe for you and I but maybe not for others
yankees27
They're bouillon cubes. Flavors the whiskey
RenaissanceFaireMan
I have some plastic ice cubes you put in the freezer, they make your drink cold without diluting the drink. Looks just like that.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Can post a pic if needed.
GoBears55
Balls of steel...in a different shape.
drowninginthesouth
I've wondered at that potential for hitting your teeth with those things. The a slug, lose a tooth.
UavinAGiggowMate
It's a solid one
Vaeevictiss
They are whiskey stones made out of harmless lead
NotAplicable
"Harmless" lead...
gerontophilia
"lead" harmless..
MaxPowerdosentsnuggleyoustrapyourselfinandfeeltheGs
They are stainless steel. Those or "whiskey stones" allow you to chill the drink without watering it down
Rudigerhux
They are also really good at chipping your teeth if your not careful
theyar
You don't put chunks of butter in your whisky?
ReginaFinklestein
Would the steel not taint the taste of the drink?
Varcova
They also work great for treating 2nd burns without putting a stop to the soldering.
theyar
I have them and no they don't work well at all.
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
Steel is conductive and cold steel wouldn’t absorb much heat. Granite would be good I’d think.
computerphile
Isn't the point of ice to open up the whiskey (pretty sure that's the point of ice in (scotch) whisky). If not, why not chill the whiskey?
MilometersKilometers
I’m also curious...
wolfgangbanger
A dropper amount of filtered room temp water is enough to open up a whisky(ey). Ice can ruin a good scotch. Really depends on how u like it.
captbananapants
Agreed but I like my scotch cooled a bit. I find it spreads the flavour profile. Rocks are really good at this with a few drops of water
wolfgangbanger
if you like chilled scotch try buying glasses with thick bases and freezing them before pouring in liquor. thicker base holds cold better.
PopeyeTheSailor
yes, however its the water the brings the oils to the surface of SOME whiskeys, not all of them benefit from the added water 1/2
PopeyeTheSailor
and if the bar tender has a degree of knowledge of what kind hes serving he will choose to add water or not if hes using stones
[deleted]

computerphile
What's the other school of thought? Whiskey chilled by metal stones > refridgerated whiskey?

LocutusOfBored
H2O reacts with the alcohol and “ opens” the bouquet
aumniverse
I use them in conjunction with water because you only need a little water, not 1 ice cubes worth, to release the flavors. 1/2
aumniverse
If it is a brand I would consider drinkinh chilled, though. Stones or ice help keep it cooled. Prefer chilled glasses if available. 2/2
captbananapants
I do the same, ice works but its harder to control the mix. I'm rather scientific about it and i bring the alc% to 35% with water and rocks
XXXassclown
Alot of whiskey drinkers use stainless steel or granite blocks from the freezer to avoid watered down drinks.
woobboomooboo
A lot of whiskey drinkers are animals
HowMuchWoodCouldAWoodDuckDuckIfAWoodDuckCouldDuckWood
Why not just keep the bottle in the fridge?
XXXassclown
I prefer my drink to be at room temperature, if guests want ice or cold granite that's their choice.
Tornadotaco
Holy... holy shit.
floatationman
One bottle sure. But if you have a dozen+ bottles, you probably can't (or don't want to) refrigerate them all.
Phipsee
Wine fridges are common and cheap.
floatationman
While certainly widely available, I wouldn't say they were common. Anecdotal, but I don't know anyone that owns one. And while Kegerators /1
