World Whisky Day,insane drinking games,CELEBRATING WHISKY ALL OVER THE WORLD
Whisky may have come a long way from being your granddad’s favoured drink and whisky cocktails are very much a thing now, what with sommeliers encouraging you to ‘have fun with whisky’. And since we take experts seriously, it seems apt that we also celebrate World Whisky Day (erm, it’s today) with these seven drinking games:
1. Arrogance
What you need:- The golden liquid
- A glass
- A substantial amount of arrogance
Decide the amount of alcohol you are willing to bet your sobriety on and then flip a coin for it. If you win, you have a reason to act even more arrogant. If not, then you must walk the talk and drink up.
2. Most Likely To
What you need:- A glass full of whisky
- Scandalous predictions
A person in the group has to ask a ‘Who is most likely’ question, and everyone has to point to the person they think fits the description the best. For example, ‘Who’s most likely to get a sexually transmitted disease?’ The number of fingers that are pointed at you are the number of sips you must drink.
3. Fuck the Dealer
What you need:- Lots of whisky
- A deck of playing cards
- A good luck angel
Everyone sits in a circle, including the dealer. The person to the left of the dealer tries to guess the top card the dealer is holding. If the guess is correct, the poor dealer has to drink four drinks. If it is incorrect, s/he must indicate if the actual card is higher or lower than the guess. If the second guess is correct, then the dealer has to down two drinks. And if it is wrong, then s/he has to drink the difference between the value of the guess and the actual card. The dealer passes the deck only if three people can’t guess his cards consecutively.
4. Swear Me Not
What you need:- Whisky
- Any trashy reality TV show
- Good listening comprehension
This one’s pretty straightforward. Tune into a reality show that involves cussing. Every time someone abuses, you drink. Easy as that.
5. Straight Face
What you need:- Whisky
- Chits and a pen
- A creative imagination
Everyone writes things that they think will make the group laugh on separate chits. All the chits are put in a bowl and each person picks one and reads it out. The catch is, you cannot smile, laugh, or show any kind of emotion as you do this. If you fail, you drink. The higher the alcohol level in your system, the harder it gets for you to not laugh at anything and everything.
6. Drinking Monopoly
What you need:- Whisky in shot glasses
- Monopoly
- A competitive spirit
Also pretty straightforward — you play Monopoly like you would, except you add whisky shots to every profit or loss bargain. If you inherit money, get rent, buy a property, or get your salary, you have a shot. If you lose money, give rent, or go to jail… you still have a shot. You get the picture.
7. The Kesha Game
What you need:- You guessed it, whisky
- An annoying sing song tone
All you have to do is repeat the last word of everything you say say. If you forget, drink drink. Okay I’m done.
Whisky is a truly worldwide drink, and we speak to Camilo Sarmiento, co-founder and general manager, The Whisky Club, Colombia, on World Whisky Day.
I was born in Bogota, Colombia which is where I am living now, but I have lived in the United States and France, where I did my Master’s Degree and worked for Christian Dior.
Colombia is a beautiful country. People are always welcoming with a smile and happiness is spread through music and dance in every corner. Right now the country is living in a generalised social consensus to forgive a terrible past and focus on building a better country. Economics and society have already improved a great deal, so there are huge opportunities for businesses and experiences.
I have always been impressed by how such a small country in population and area like Scotland has such strong character to create global impact through its products and traditions such as whisky and golf.
I am the co-founder and CEO of Argento & Bourbon, a luxury brand of footwear for gentlemen. I am also a co-founder of The Whisky Club and I am actively involved in many whisky events and experiences in Colombia.
Whisky is very popular in Colombia but around 95% of the market is taken by blended. That’s why in The Whisky Club we believe there is a huge opportunity to show Colombian and Latin American whisky drinkers the universe of tastes and expressions that single malts can offer.
Whisky is not only a drink, it is the expression of a culture. In whisky you have all the resources of Scotland – the water, minerals, land and much more. With all this in a glass, how can you not be fascinated? It is a beautiful miracle.
I was very young the first time I tasted whisky. My father was enjoying a whisky with some of his friends. I was intrigued by the drink that made the people get together, and also how they could have many different opinions about the same bottle. In a second and when my father was not looking I took a short sip and I have enjoyed it from that day. Of course after that I had to wait until I had the legal age to drink!
The whisky club was born to share the experiences of whisky with the whole of Colombia. As well as sourcing the best whiskies, we share knowledge and ideas, allowing our customers to understand the whisky and build their own opinions.
Very soon we will be part of the country’s top luxury hotel which will be located in Cartagena, where we will have a wider range of resources to help people understand whisky better and enjoy sharing it.
My favourite whisky is the always the next one… there are more than 300 expressions so I still have many to try. Each time I try a new one I understand whisky better, which is probably part of the process of getting to know my palate.
