Drunk girls gets my vote! I have a 6 litre one and thought I was doing well, imagine bringing a 9 litre UJSM out a christmas.

Which ever way you go, you will end up with a great storage bottle.
Be safe.
Be discreet.
And have fun.

I have one of those, punkin. They're called Imperial or methausala (sp? Very cool bottles. :) :) :)

It is currently 3/4 filled with my 'brandy' (65abv) with toasted French oak fingers. I have anther gallon on plain french oak to test the difference. So far the toasted oak has more colour but I can't taste the difference, but, it's only been on oak for a few weeks.\

Seems a shame to have chardonay in such a rightious bottle I'd be looking for some chicks to get rid of that and get some good gear in there likety split.
P.S Where would one source such an item if the need rises?
ie A whole bunch of chicks that are looking for a good time or of course some hooch that needs a home.

I'd make it all into a good brandy and then get one good chickie to share it with.

Well that sounds the best idea...already got the good chickie, just gotta wean her off the UJSM :lol: :roll:

The bloke who gave it to me has two more of em, trying to talk him into combining the lot for a brandy run.

Dunno how you'd seal the bottle back up if ya put hooch in it maybe you could give me an idea or a piccie Blanik?

I have one of the 4.5 litre scotch bottles on a tilting frame in the lounge room i use for aging UJSM. It's tops to look at and good to keep an eye on the wood process. ATM it's a dark mahogany colour with month old hooch at 65%.
Can only just see through it 8)

Be nice to get one of the dispensers for the 9 litre bottle, might make some enquiries :?
