From White People Twitter:
Seems to me that this would work better with Sambuca.
Edit: I can’t spell.
Sambuca is for dark bar room fire eating.
Gonna leave this right here:
If a young child sees their parents consume a whisky pod, might they be more likely to try to eat a Tide pod? Monkey see, monkey do?
You might be able to if you try. I once saw someone fill their mouth with whiskey and then proceed to drink it in sips on a long walk.
Marketing hyperbole aside, this isn’t a new product for store shelves. It’s a limited time “tasting experience” offered by one (1) fancy cocktail bar in New York.
I’ll take “Things that went viral because people share without reading” for 500, Alex.
Thanks, but that still doesn’t clear up whether we are supposed to put them in our mouths or in our butts.
“Or”?
I thought that’s why they came in threes.
Third one goes in the ear.
Thank you for anticipating my follow-up question.
Does no one actually read the promo material?

This is so far from “add-a-drop-of-water” whisky-snob territory that such complaints are utterly laughable.
Precisely.
Alright, which goes where?
Just go for it; The Glenlivet will tell you if you need to switch.
All of those sound like (perhaps needlessly complicated) recipes for a Rob Roy cocktail.
Which a good single-malt whisky would be wasted on; blended whisky is fine for that.
(Although Glenlivet isn’t really a good single malt. Laphroaig or Talisker would be more to my taste.)
The game store/restaurant/bar we frequent has a port affogato I keep meaning to try.
Also we spent a good portion of our D&D session this weekend joking about using these as suppositories. I am playing a drunken master monk so it was… sort of relevant.
Those are artisanal Rob Roy-inspired craft cocktails, don’cha know.
Perhaps. But I don’t have any blends on hand, I fear
Well, sure, if I had some Glenlivet, it’s probably the first thing I’d dump into a cocktail.
Ah, you like the peaty ones, do you?
I confess, first time I ever had Lapfrog, I told the bottle’s owner I was afraid his whisky had gone bad.
More of a Highland Malts sort myself. But different strokes, eh? You bring yours, I’ll bring mine, and we’ll sample both
