All right, itÂ’s Friday night, IÂ’m home, and I have this brand new Jack Daniels dispenser IÂ’ve been aching to try out. So we all know what that means. Yes, Mr. Contagion has been drinking. Before I go into too much detail, IÂ’ve had a couple of people ask me exactly what it is that I bought.

Duh, itÂ’s a Jack DanielÂ’s dispenser! Think beer taper, except itÂ’s for hard liquor. You place a bottle in it and when you open the valve it pours you a perfectly measured drink. Well, at least that was what I was told. Anyone that has seen me drink Jack knows that what is perfectly measured for me, and what is perfectly measured for everyone else is two different things.

Now of course I could have gotten one of the many new fangled pre-measure pour spoutsÂ… but what fun is that?!?! This is pretty much the same thing, except that the holder is made from a barrel they actually used to make Jack DanielÂ’s. Thus this is better, the fact that itÂ’s signed by the Jimmy Bedford, head distiller of Jack DanielÂ’s, makes it a shrine in this house.

Well after reading about Bloodspite trying to base jump with out a chute and Quality Weenie being down on her luck, I figured it was time to break her in and have a drink or twelve for them. Hey itÂ’s my liver and IÂ’ll do what I want! Plus I've had the pleasure, nay the honor of meeting both of them, I feel it's my civic duty! Crap, glass is emptyÂ… IÂ’ll be right back. Okay backÂ… sorry. Anyway, so I popped the olÂ’ bottle in and decided I needed to figure out how much it pours when the valve is opened.

The answer is about 1.2 ounces or 35 Ml. Now, whoever made this contraption is a little off. Depending on where you go, a standard shot is 1 to 1.5 ounces. ItÂ’s usually closer to 1 ounce. Where the hell did they come up with 1.2 ounces? Eh, who cares, ItÂ’s not like I drink it by the shot anyway. IÂ’ll just hit the valve three times and be happy.
