Mark - speaking of 'new' distilleries, I finally got around to trying something from Balcones the other day, the Baby Blue.  Pretty good!  I definitely want to try their True Blue cask strength.

Good deal here boys http://www.amazon.com/Sipping-Stones-Chilling-Carrying-Soapstone/dp/B005D78RPU/ref=gb1h_tit_c-2_1842_11a3059d?smid=A1B7M9EQGNCLQA&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-2&pf_rd_r=09QAYZJHA06FBYAMVXKW&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1725241842

Word, but none of us are pinky lifters.  But agreed, like chilled wine, same shit different pile.
Just my two cents on these... they don't work.  Best way to chill whiskey, should you so desire, is to just chill your glass.  Or a very small amount of ice. 

IMO, no offense, that whole deal.

Chilled glass is my preference, but the stones give off a nice sophisticated look...like hey, there's a rock in my glass!

To that I would argue that a sophisticated spirit/spririt drinker shouldn't be chilled/want to chill their drink in the first place!  It mutes flavors.  Now if you're filling a tumbler with rum and ice in the summer (or whenever), that's a whole different story.

See, this is why you're 2-stars.

Fucking thing, fuck...I think it's mad at me.  Maybe something when a post is revised while replying to it...whofugginknows

Just gotta make sure you scroll ALL the way down before you start typing.

Can someone write me a manual? After I read it an pass a test maybe I can get to 3 or 4 stars...still not getting on my knees tho...

MODIFY:  To each their own, of course.  No wrong way to enjoy your whiskey.  If you like it with ice or water, add ice or water.  Who cares what anyone else thinks, anyway?

How bout this potential whiskey shortage...buncha schmucks running those companies!

I'm not buying it.  New distilleries popping up all the time.  Supplies may be limited right now because it's so popular, but you're crazy if you think they're not doing everything they can to make more.  It takes time.  Can't make a four year old bourbon in six months.

Lots of bottlers are now distilling their own, too.  Willet's own rye will be on shelves in a month or two.

Whiskey, and specifically bourbon, is booming right now.  Stuff that was widely available just two or three years ago is now allocated and you need to get on a wait list to obtain. Ebbs and flows.

Just trying to pump up demand, probably. Create a fear that it's going away, everyone will start buying up. That's my non-buzzword opinion.

Sophisticated?  Who gives a schitt about being sophisticated?  I buy my whiskey in a box. Fits good next to the wine.

LOL, used to have to take the bag outta the box in my first apartment, only way to fit it in the fridge.

[flip from jersey]

Oof, got sucked in to a webinar on... something.  Mobile Apps or mobile marketing or something.  Why do people think PowerPoints are effective/creative?  And enough with one slide after another filled with nothing but buzzwords.

Come on, you're in marketing....you know buzzwords are a necessity, just like describing cigars with every flavor of the rainbow.

Well, technically I'm in advertising.  Little bit different but nobody cares.

The problem is that everyone now just focuses on creating new buzzwords, and none of them have any meaning any more.  Or by the time they gain steam and DO have meaning, everyone's moved on to something else.  Just get tired of being pitched them all the time by the latest and greatest start up company who has revolutionized the way people use the internet!!!!!  Buzzword buzzword buzzword SALES! PROFIT! 

Hearing "social media" is like nails on a chalkboard.

  you need IT buzzwords: "big Data", "Cloud", Business Intelligence, etc, etc, etc.

Agile, TCO, ROI...

Cloud and Remote Access are always 2 of my favorites now-a-days

don't forget BYOD..
