Powers Gold Label Blended Irish Whiskey
Triple Distilled, est. 1791
Now I’m typically a scotch guy when I’m at home, but if I’m going out and plan on flasking I hit the whiskey cuz let’s face it, scotch in a flask would be weird. It’s better sipped in the company of good friends or a good book with something like Bonnie “Prince” Billy or Curtis Mayfield playing on the stereo. It isn’t conducive to squatting down on a crowded dance floor and knocking back a shot out of sight of security or irritable bartenders who work in places that dole out weak pours with high prices (suck it, 45 North).
So I had a night with the homies planned and went to get my usual Kilbeggan. Next to it was this a bottle of Powers Gold Label and it was on sale, bringing it down to the price of Thee Killa B (OK, I’ll file that nickname. Sorry). Being a shrewd consumer I thought “Well shit, if this is usually more expensive, then it must be better! And I can get it for a limited time at this reduced price. Score one for the AFTS!”
Score one? Not quite.
Cuz this stuff sucks.
For real.
Clearly I fell for the oldest trick in the book. The ol’ “Put gold on it, people will think it’s fancy” ruse. Man, what a maroon I am, aye? A true, dyed in the wool rube.
This stuff tastes like someone took some bottom-shelf shit and snuck it onto the middle shelf. Like your kids had been sipping it on the sly and refilling it with lighter fluid and eye drops so you wouldn’t notice the levels drop.
It tastes like someone distilled it in a plastic gin and aged it in an old metal barrel that mobsters used to dissolve snitches in with lye and acid. Then they stored it for three years in a plastic bottle and right before shipping they transferred it to a glass bottle so no one would suspect.
This just reinforces my distaste for all things gold: gold teeth, gold lamè loincloths, gold spray paint (not even good for huffing since you end up looking like you just ate CP-30’s asshole), I guess now that I brought him up CP-30 is on the list, Richard Scarry’s Goldbug (Google it… OK, I used to love it as a small child. I just needed an obscure gold reference).
And now I can add Powers Gold Irish Whiskey to the list. I haven’t tried Goldschlager but I’m pretty sure anything that has to have gold flakes in it to make it sell is too gimmicky to taste good. You know what, I’m just gonna blindly throw that on the list too.
Anyhoo Powers: This is horrible, horrible shit.
I made name labels for the kids' things using this project:

I didn't iron the raw edges under on the labels I sewed on, and then I zig-zag stitched, and some of the edges frayed right out of the thread with the first wash. I think this problem wouldn't present itself if I had ironed. I just totally forgot that step.
1) 2013 Retina Macbook Pro (my workhorse and livelihood)
2) Topo Designs Klettersack (love the bag, but I’m finding that I need more compartmentalization than it gives)
3) Pink Caran D’Ache ballpoint pen (my trusty note taker—originally bought a pink one so no-one would steal it, but it became kind-of a signature to the extent that my business’ primary brand color is roughly the same hue)
4) Benchmade Doug Ritter model Griptilian, w. s30v blade and custom Wilkins g10 handle scales (the most useful tool I own)
5) Ventolin
6) Cheap vented 62mm lens hood for the Fujinon XF23 lens
7) Fenix P2D cree LED flashlight (let there be light)
8) Olympus XA (nothing beats a little rangefinder in your pocket—or bag), presently loaded with “lomography” color film that I found somewhere. The irony of ironies being that I bought my first XA to avoid going anywhere near a Lomo...
9) Spare Fuji battery
10) Fujinon XF14 lens (either this or the XF35, depending on the day)
11) Fuji X-Pro1 w. leather Gordy’s strap & Abrahamsson soft release (either this or the XT-1, depending on the day)
12) Eneloops
13) Fuji EF-X20 ttl flash (again, let there be light…)
14) Cheapo Variable ND filter
15) Lenspen
16) Lens wrapping cloth
17) Wallet made from old seatbelts
18) Old lowepro neoprene memory card wallet
Bottle Label Applicator
Our bottle labelers enable the user to label various cylindrical objects by simply inserting the container and pressing the foot switch. Once the foot switch is activated, the label is applied at over 4.5" per second. Most water bottles are labeled in less than 2 seconds! This allows the user to quickly remove the bottle and insert another to start the procedure again.
• Label objects from .5" to 10" diameter. From a test tube to a 1.5 gallon bottle
• Label cylinders to 15" length (or longer if the item has a neck)
• Able to handle most tapered containers by simply adjusting the idle roller position
• Labels over 1000 pcs per hour with average dexterity
• Micro-Switch activated, will work on all kinds of labels
• Advances at over 4.5" per second
• Made in USA, 3 year warranty
I designed this label for Astor Wines&Spirits, with the specific request to design a classic label typical of Sancerre wines.

Just back from the annual North West Phillumenists Fair and auction etc. at the Memorial Hall. Bought a few packets of labels from various parts of the world. The Indian ones are the nicest - such bright colours.
