    So I am on skype with a friend when... "Oh... my god. A bottle of Dark Lord just exploded." Dude's about to move, so he had a bunch of stuff out ready to pack up. On top of the other delicate stuff, a Dark Lord. Which cracks in half and gushes everywhere. And turns out it's his bottle of bourbon barrel aged.

    Some choice quotes:

    "I can't even lift my feet off the ground it's so sticky."

    "I don't think my shoes will be clean, ever."

    I told him he had to drink what he could, but make sure to filter it!
    "Right now I'm filtering it through my teeth.... it's so good!"

    "Auugh... argh... auuwww...." (sound of pouring the rest down the drain)

    "It's like cleaning up maple syrup. It basically coats everything that has a surface with irresistably sticky residue."

    "Oh Jesus. I just noticed that somehow when it popped, it sprayed against the back wall behind it and all that ran down the wall. This is gonna stain the paint. Well at least the carpet soaked up most of it..."

    "I gotta swiffer this shit."

    "This is the worst thing that's happened in my life."

    Losing a bottle of Bourbon Barrel Dark Lord? That's a freaking tragedy. I'm genuinely sorry for your friend's loss.

    In 2008, I went to Stone in Escondido and got a 2 liter growler of Stone 2004 RIS. It exploded in the back of my friend's SUV, soaking into the carpet, his baby bag and stroller, etc...

    He just about blew a gasket and his wife was very upset, as well. We cleaned it up as best we could in the parking lot of the nearest grocery store or K-Mart or whatever we found, but I feel like that smell is probably never going to come out.

    Permanent Stone IRS air freshener, sounds like something that would increase resale value

    Your friend sounds like he was remarkably positive during that experience.

    Was this the 2012? There was a bunch of 2011 regular Brandy DLs that also mysteriously exploded. Too much beetus in one bottle I think.

    I was under the impression that the Brandy Vanilla DLs were affected by this. I know of at least 3

    This makes me want to drink my Murda'd and BVDL. If they explode, I might as well.

    He should have taken pictures and sent them to FFF. They may have done SOMETHING.
