A Scottish distillery said Monday it was reviving a centuries-old recipe for whisky so strong that one 17th-century writer feared more than two spoonfuls could be lethal.
Risk-taking whisky connoisseurs will have to wait, however - the spirit will not be ready for at least 10 years.
The Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay, off Scotland's west coast, is producing the quadruple-distilled 184-proof - or 92 percent alcohol - spirit "purely for fun," managing director Mark Reynier said.
We don't know where we'll be in 10 days, let alone 10 years. But we are definitely signing up for some of this whisky. The price is $695 for a case of 12 bottles. You can order it today and watch it brew on a web cam. In fact, this would make an excellent gift for your favorite Moderators.

I'm finally first...
Did you hear that a dispatcher turned cop went to 009, the same district he redlined 3 different cars. Good luck to that PPO, see if he makes it through his cycles.
For the confused, it's pronounced
"ish-ka-baha-bi" or, for my fellow hill billies...punch.
It does the trick, but your gonna be sticking a box full of preperation-h up yer arse for a week or so.
I'd hate to be that persons partner in a 10-1
18 months is a long time, I heard he sent a PDT message to another dispatcher to reline another beat car because he wasn't being treated fairly.... :(
Punch at 700LB a case! WTF!!!
When did the Irish and Scot's become snobbish?
A wealthy Irish job is to be a cop, (NOT A BOSS, A COP).
How am I going to afford a bottle of punch at that price?
Sobriety is gonna suck.
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day -- 2016!
I'm sticking with wine. A much better libation than any nasty ass whisky / scotch. Only One flavor: Burn!
No it won't brother here's the answer to that. Take the squad over to Lake and Pulaski, have your hoody on (The bosses love that shite), grab a bottle of night train from the liquor store. Next, head over to Madison and springfield and grab a case of slider's at White Castle. Your almost there...Now drive right over to indipendance, and into the band shell. Turn the little am/fm onto your favorite country station, put it over th p.a. and watch the local's flee in fear.
EAT, DRINK, AND BE MERRY!
I once drank a bottle of night train, and puked up a box of prperation-h...What a night.
(Off topic, but well worth it) I'll call an attorney pal of mine and see if hate speech violates city ordinance. I'll throw in the (h)ampton street sign idea as hate speech and see what they say. And folks if they are serious about doing this YOU MUST start a signature petition against it...especially if it end's in litigation.
which dispatcher was it???

As an Irish immigrant I can tell that you don't know much about what's gone on over there the 20 years. From 98 through last year they had the #1 economy in Europe with the second highest standard of living in the the western world (USA #5). A shack in the town I grew up in goes for 500K minimum. You have an amazing tool at your fingertips called the internet. Use it before showing yer arse boy.
It's a real shame the department lost a straightup copper to some political bullshit and lies. Wakeup boys and girls!!!!!
If it's that good Paddy, why did you leave???
If I sign up for a case of that hootch today, I'll get it in time for retirement.....184 Proof?!?! I think I'll pass as I'll be too young to be self-embalmed.
Hey Rue St., not all whiskey burns. You must be used to that Hanna & Hog. If you really want to get a taste of what good Scotch is, try a Balvennie. Smokey and smooth is all I can say. My particular favorite poison though is 12 y.o. Tullamore Dew. Smoother than a baby's ass and will have you feeling warm all over. Too bad it's Lent otherwise I'd buy you a round.
Arent the Irish the m/1's of Europe?
Think how many unwanted pregnancies will occur with 184 proof! Think you slept with ugly? Wait till you drink this... ugly just went down 184 levels! Think how much of an increase there will be in DUI coppers! Drink 184 proof you may even make made passionate love to ANOTHER MALE! This is a BOMB waiting to go off! I'll stick to the 8 proof beer. I like my virgin cornhole!
Another St,Pats day is upon us. So how many cops gonna get drunk and crash their cars? How many of those cops gonna beat their old ladies and shoot guns off? Lets start a pool.
To above, You sir are an idiot, plain and simple.
just another example of how the
MAYOR
ALDERMEN
BRASS
CITIZENS
care about the city's police department.
get through the day get home safe. back each other up. nobody cares about us, we should care about each other
