How the Infinity Bottle Became a Whiskey Nerd Obsession

In the past few years, the "infinity bottle" has become a phenomenon among whiskey nerds. Aaron Goldfarb mines Reddit to understand the allure of the at-home, ever-changing whiskey blend.

i don't see the appeal of a bunch of bottom pours getting blended together into a large puddle of leftover piss but i guess it's the reddit fad of the day.

>>16033938
idk man seems kinda lame because its just the tailings of all the other good stuff, its kinda like race mixing when you think about it. Very reddit

>>16033938
So its just a fancy bottle and maybe glasses to store you Whisky? I mean sure if you wanna be classy but I have no need for it.

No it's like infinity soup but whiskey

>>16033938
I actually have one, but for clear spirits.

started with pouring some leftover Vodka in this fancy ass bottle I got, for no reason.
one party later, there was some bottom shelf white rum left, so I added some of this.
few partys later, I got gifted some high end vodka, and later got shitfaced with the girl, I had a crush on.
the next morning we put what was left of the vodka into the fancy Infinity bottle.
a while later I got home from some party, and woke up on my floor, with half a bottle obstler (clear fruit booze) no idea where it came from, or how I got it.

did this for 4 or 5 years now, and have now a fancy bottle full of random alcohol and great memories of the girls, and partys, I had.

I like it.

jungle juice but for hipsters!!

Infinity bottle is gay. Selective Blending is much better. Last one I had success with was the last few ounces of Mellow Corn that was mostly air for a couple months, half as much Jameson and half as much McCarthys American Peated Single Malt Whiskey. The Mellow Corn has plenty of sweet, the Jameson adds the fruityness and McCarthys has a particular smokey note. Very enjoyable.

you browse reddit, dont you faggot?

Gay as fuck and a meme.

bump

Take your meds transcel

It's a game changer.

It sounds like a fun little project for people who drink a lot of the same type of spirit. Nothing worth getting mad over.

Why give a fancy name for jungle juice? Fucking reddit

You know what? Even when I'm reduced to pouring drink dregs into a glass because I'm a sad drunk fuck, at least I can take some pride in knowing that what I'm doing is drunken schlubbery, and not trying to tart it up with a fancy name,

>>16036316
How is it a fancier name than jungle juice? Your mind is spazzed out, man.

So it's for soy faggots who think they know better than professional blenders who are doing it for generations and mix few bottom shelf whiskeys to make an ultimate abomination blend? That's the most retarded whiskey fad since the plastic whiskey stones. Why do these numales always pursue the "craft" element? Isn't whiskey usually crafted well enough to not ruin it at home by randomly mixing it?

>>16036380
No, they're just throwing the last pours in together to see what happens. Don't be so proud of having a joyless life. It's nothing special.

>>16033938
why not just pour the leftover bit into your final glass of whiskey? it's not like you're trying to mix a cocktail

>>16036380
calling somebody fat doesn't make you skinny, anon

>>16036623
Because fun.

>>16036380
They are just mixing together the last part of whatever they drink.
Like, even if you are a professional blender I don't see why someone would get angry at this, it's as innocuous as pet projects can be.

>>16036658
Funkopops are "innocuous" too yet I would still behead anyone owning one.

>>16036675
Funkopops are disgusting but we all know that you’re an ineffectual faggot who could never physically harm, much less behead, anyone. Keep up that cool tough guy internet posturing though, Susie.

>>16036797
Nice projection, weeb.

>>16036675
So you've never met anybody who owns Funkopops, or are you admitting to having beheaded people before?

>>16034120
>its kinda like race mixing when you think about it
Even when it comes to drinking all you think about is the BBC. You need help

>>16036802
Nice being a limp wristed faggot, faggot.

thoughts on this?

>>16033938
Never heard of this and figured it was some bottle with a tube in the bottom that kept it constantly full. Look it up and find out it's literally just a bottle that you refill manually.

>>16036405
>>16036658
Lol ok, I thought they are trying to make a "better" whiskey from bottles they buy just for that purpose.

>>16033938
I would die much faster
So I suppose I wish I did

>>16036810
>all racemixing involves black men
