snowboard 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The Bruichladdich distillery in Scotland is reviving an ancient tradition of quadruple distilled single malt - it will be 92 per cent! It says here that long ago people drank it as a cure for colic, smallpox and other diseases. But anything more than 2 spoonfuls could prove fatal. 40% is strong for me, I wonder what that thing tastes like. At that strength, will there be a taste! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 sounds like grain alcohol...yuck Link to post Share on other sites
Cornelius 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Sounds awful. Anything over wine is too strong for me. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 As far as I know, Everclear is the strongest alcohol in the world. You can run a car on it. Link to post Share on other sites
sock_monkey 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 i've tasted 95% alcohol, basically my lips and tongue went numb and i had to keep it in my mouth til enough saliva diluted it so i could swallow. nothing more than a dangerous novelty. i'll stick with 75% rum.

quattro 1 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 nothing like some home brewed shine to liven things up Link to post Share on other sites
JPchucky 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Ah, this threads making my stomach turn. Anybody drink spyritus before? It's like 900 yen a bottle and 96%. Terrible stuff as you can imagine. Alot of locals make tictures with it. I guess you could also make Molotov cocktails. Link to post Share on other sites
orinoco 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Never heard of that JPchucky - what exactly is that? Even wine is a bit too strong for my liking. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Spyritus is deadly. I could barely keep it down immediately after drinking a tiny shot! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Those really strong Costa Rican (?) rums always give me a headache an hour after drinking them. And much as I love it, Okinawan awamori does the same so I'm going to have to give that up too. This 92 percent whiskey sounds good for putting in your car. Link to post Share on other sites
JPchucky 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I believe it's a Polish Vodka. I haven't seen it in awhile, ofcourse I haven't really been looking for it. I used to go to a skatepark in Yokosuka near the US Navy base. That's the only place I've seen it in a bar, go figure. Like #9 the only time I drank it I had hot flashes immediately and it came right up. The tinctures will fu*k ya up with just a couple drops Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 That Awamori is dreadful stuff O11. Although I am heading down there next week, so I'm sure I'll be coerced into drinking it again... Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Awamori tastes great, but it destroys me. When I went to Okinawa for four nights last year, I didn't remember how I got back to my bed two of those nights thanks to the Awamori. I like Nihonshu too but it gives me a really bad hangover, shochu doesn't though. Link to post Share on other sites
