The joke is good, but what it jumps off of — intended as dead serious (I think!) — is funnier.

How can you tell? I thought it was real.
And what is the pod made out of? Eewwww!
Bravo to Glenlivet.
What I'm not sure of though: How does the plastic enclosure break down? (I have a similar question for Tide Pods, and also Cascade dishwashing pods). I think I have enough plastic in my life.
That's about the only way I would ingest it. That stuff tastes worse than medicine.
Best comment: I think Glenlivet tide pods and Crystal Pepsi would make a good cocktail.
I can't bleieve that's a real product.
Coming soon to a frat party near you: swallow as many as you can whole and see how fast you can go from stone-cold sober to falling down drunk. First person to die from alcohol poisoning wins!
The marks of sophistication:
Coffee - Black
Sheets - White
Whiskey - Pod
My response to seeing that ad on twitter was a sharp turn to the right.
"I am now a conservative. Not a David Cameron conservative. I am now a straight up Victorian conservative. A Thomas Carlyle conservative. I am smoking cigars. I am just now driving to my local purveyor of spirits to purchase some expensive whisky to drink in a glass. #Evil"
That's about 2/3 of a shot, if I did my math right. All in your mouth at one time. I sip and can make a shot last for 20 minutes of nice conversation, or smooth quietude. That will go away with a jumbo alcoholic jelly bean I am trying not to squirt out the sides of my mouth.
This will go great at teen parties, tho.
I like the guy from 'Spirit & Wood'- Alistair- who calls us whiskey snobs because we think you should actually allow the whiskey to be smelled in a glass to enjoy it. Rolled over the tongue to taste the nuance of it. Mixed- or not- with a beautiful ice cube or water, or...(hold my nose) coke.
Whiskey pods are the perfect answer to Jack Daniels coming out with flavored 'traditional' sour mash. It's a huge statement on the generation that is, on one hand, creatively reinventing the cocktail, and on the other hand, bastardizing the classics.
Alistair should be whiskey-shamed going forward.
Plus- who drinks Glenlivet anyway?
Speaking of the brain-damaged, Jabookie can't spell his own name consistently.
Off-label usage: whiskey suppository, with cocktails designed to create the perfect pucker.
I think the greatest thing about this concept is that you can pair it nicely with vaped foods. While you're reading Blinkist. I think they should produce whiskey pods. It might actually work today.
Just in time for Hallowe'en.
The only thing I know about Tide Pods is from Gronk
(as seen on Facebook)
He eats a whisky pod,
He eats a vodka pod,
He eats a lager pod,
He eats a cider pod,
He eats the pods that remind him of the good Tide,
He eats the pods that remind him of the better Tide.
This is the wrong way to consume alcohol
@Beasts, that's awesome. Love that song.
Must be a joke.
The pleasure of drinking good scotch or whiskey is: first the aroma and then the taste. To just swallow a pod of alcohol is barbaric and entirely misses the point of savoring the drink and dismisses the art and labor of distilling fine liquor.
What next. Wine enemas? (Oh wait. I think Marilyn Monroe pioneered something like that and look at what happened to her)
Don't be deluded, it's diluted.
I wished for booze candy, or at least caffeine candy, back before I retired. It's hard pretending to work.
Oh Beasts of England that is just brilliant.
Whisky is for sipping in tiny sips, not chugging. That amount is at least a dozen sips.
"How does the plastic enclosure break down?"
We're told it's some sort of seaweed product. Not plastic.
It's trolling by Glenlivet. A one-shot for a London trade show that just got a tonne of publicity.
Oh, come on! They're just Jello shots in a seaweed wrapper.
How would it do in the dishwasher? I worry about spots on the glassware.
...In the yeeaarr 2525...if man is still alive....
I was reading the diaries of Kenneth Tynan recently, and he wrote about experimenting with taking alcohol anally (the man who wrote "Oh, Calcutta" had some decided kinks that make reading his diaries, with its mix of high society and low tastes, a delicious pleasure).
[From the guardian article] On May 5 1974 he records how, having heard that alcohol is best taken rectally rather than orally, he gets his lover to inject "a large wine-glass of vodka into my anus via an enema tube. Within ten minutes the agony is indescribable".
My first thought was that there were a few people at Glenlivet that needed to be shot for creating the abomination.
Then the realization hit me that we're talking Glenlivet, which is only fit for removing old paint from a fence and scrubbing floors.
Somewhere in Scotland...
Och, people having to buy our scotch in bottles! and having to open them! and pour scotch into a wee glass! nae, that's crazy!
In all seriousness it's way to avoid getting in trouble for having an open container in your car. Genius!
Reminded me of a scene from Alien Resurrection, the "dry whiskey in a cube scene" = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZGb9KEnejg
Lightly scanned some google hits, but no information as to percent alcohol. Thinking maybe 20% (40 proof) - half strength of bottled variety.
A delivery system for those accustomed to snorting cocaine and injecting H.
