As for yor drinking taste, I am disappointed... I am giving you a way out: try Peruvian Pisco: it's their version of Grappa, but the grapes are different.
One glass and you look like that...
mmm.. Are the dimensions of that c*ck related to the reason you know Pisco ?
if it makes such a magic i've to try it.

Still waiting your explanation about how the heck wootz steel can delaminate...
