Bullets and whiskey

[myhightechsec]

Not a normal combination but when your bullets are meant to be frozen instead of shot thru a gun all kinds of different things can happen with them.

Whiskey Bullets are perfect for engraved Groomsmen Gifts

Nothing like accidentally biting the bullet. lol. Looks cool, I'll probably stick with whiskey stones, or just keeping the bottle in the freezer.

Ah, the days of wasted youth.
I was raised up in Texas by people that thought getting drunk and head lighting dinner was normal.
Like sniping an armadillo from the back of a flat bed work truck and putting it under a fire. Tin foil, butter, onions, salt, pepper, new potatoes.
So, what went together better than bullets and whiskey? Scuba and duck hunting.

 

[JettaKnight]

Yup, this whiskey stone crap has officially jumped the shark.



How long till someone swallows one?

Besides, it is very common practice to open up Whisky/Whiskey with a splash of water anyhow...so just use an ice cube.

Not for me, 3 oz's whiskey 2 ice cubes. Let sit till the the cubes begin to melt. However, i went to a wedding this year and they used 357 brass casing on all the mens boutonnieres. I could see these being used for a similar application at a small wedding.

Glad to see some common sense on INGO.

Our very own INGOer Menzzer37 makes those too. He owns ZRTS in noblesville.

I have a set of whiskey stones, but they don't do their job to chill down the brown. They warm too quickly. I wonder if the titanium would be better? Besides, I usually pour over a couple ice cubes in the glass as well...unless it's the PAPPY!

Generally, a denser material ("heavier") will warm more slowly and do a better job of chilling your drink. Gold and lead would both be ideal from a thermodynamic standpoint, but are obviously not practical (cost) or suitable (lead poisoning).

Gold nugget whiskey stones...now that's an idea. Someone get to it. Chop chop!

The problem is that nothing can come close to melting ice for thermal energy absorption.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

Basically, one gram of ice (at 32F) melting into water (also at 32F) will absorb 333 Joules of thermal energy.
Titanium (like stone) will not undergo a phase change, therefore you're solely relying on specific heat, which is .523 J/g[SUP]o[/SUP]C (roughly an eighth of water and one quarter of ice).

So, how much titanium is required to achieve the same cooling as a ice cube of 10 grams? About seven kilograms.*Better get a bigger glass. And the cost would be around $500 I would guess.

Want bullets for your drink? Get this.




* This is based on a block of titanium at 31F and an ice cube at 32F and only looks at the cooling power of the ice melting and not the change in temperature of the ice or water. Because, if you did look at those things, the situation looks far worse for the stones. Both ice and water have far superior specific heats even if you did ignore the heat of fusion.

Actually, gold has a about one quarter the specific heat of stainless steel and titanium (per gram). The density difference can't compensate for that.

Aluminum will be your best bet if you want metal.

Apparently, the whiskey stones, soapstone, has a specific heat of 0.98 J/g[SUP]o[/SUP]C, in other words, twice as efficient as steel for the given task.

I like mine straight, thank you. At least these "rocks" won't dilute my whiskey

What would your MeeMaw say if she knew? Heh

I have some Bulleit rye here. And some bitters. And some marichino cherries...

Old Fashioned, anyone?

Sadly, I doubt my Grandmother would approve or imbibe. I do not approve the mixing of good bourbon and fruit.

I bet you a dollar she has beer in the garage fridge...

Anyhow - you've obviously not had a good whiskey cocktail, man. Delicious!

After reading the wiki I seriously need a drink of the hard stuff. I remember why I hated Chem now.

Hehe. And here I am, the guy that failed Chem 103 on a technicality...

My wife's cocktail is a brandy old fashion. (An affect of too many trips to WI)

My go-to is a Manhattan, usually, Bulleit or Old Overholt.

Well, you should be OK with this; it's rye whiskey, not bourbon.

And the surest way to fully appreciate 'someone' is to know it both alone and with others.
