A Bit of an Impulse Buy

Costco, our benevolent wholesaling overlord, sells many bizarre things. Try as I might, Costco's glittering wares often force me to violate the Man Code of Shopping and begin mere browsing. On this most recent voyage into the spirit bazaar, I was ensnared by the Woodinville Whiskey Co. Age Your Own Whiskey kit.

Tacky? Yes. Cliche? Probably. Mine? My precious.

Supposedly this kit will turn water to wine in three months or less. I invite you to join me on the journey of assembling and aging my very own whiskey. I'll taste weekly and provide updates on the aging process. And if it turns out to be a dud, well there's always the Costco return policy.
