Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. This is probably old news for some of you, but it's somehow the first I've heard it of it -- He-Man Whisky exists.
I could not be more astounded if "Also Spake Zarathustra" was playing. It's an Indian whiskey, which admits makes my booze-soaked soul uneasy (India makes whiskey? Since when?) and it's clearly unlicensed (ya think?) but it has a picture of He-Man on it, so my concerns are instantly negated. Topless Robot readers, please, please, please if you know how to get your hands on this stuff, let me know at toplessrobot(at)gmail(dot)com. Drinking it is clearly the next stage in my evolution. I have no doubt that with a single drink I can throw a bone in the air and make it turn into a spaceship. Thanks to Chris W. for shining this light into my life.

Rob, I'll buy you a bottle of Templeton Rye and slap a picture of eternia's favorite son on it. Granted, it would be hilariously awesome to own...but I really don't want you to go blind or die of kidney failure.
SvenRedbeard replied to SvenRedbeard:
On the other hand, maybe it's total ambrosia and tastes like curry-flavored booze. It could be the awesomest thing ever.
Gasstank said:
Apparently they make it in a Whiskey, Gin, and Rum. http://www.indiamart.com/company/1946679/products.html#he-man-dry-gin
SvenRedbeard replied to Gasstank:
Holy cow, this company is awesome. I'm totally wrong, this is spectacular. I want the Power 5000 Super Strong beer.
Thor replied to SvenRedbeard:
Becareful, it does say "Power Super Strong Beer can". It could be just the can is strong, not the beer.
THE PR0F3550R replied to Thor:
LOL. Too bad that beer's power is not over 9000! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBtpyeLxVkI
mojotheamazing replied to Gasstank:
So since they use the same label with different colors for all 3(gin, rum, and wiskey), do you think they use the same alcohol with different food coloring for all 3?
SvenRedbeard replied to mojotheamazing:
It would suprise me about as much as finding out they had a Stinkor Dutch Lager.
ChaosWept replied to SvenRedbeard:
That's just beautiful. Thank you for that. ***wipes a tear***

I wouldn't do it unless your idea of evolution includes violent diarrhea.
Anonymous replied to PlaidStallions:
Indian alcohols don't have that effect. They are surprisingly well made.

Good luck!
damask said:
they should take a brand of absinthe and call it evil lyn. hell, they could slap a different characters on different drinks and make collector's bottles out of them.
tvtastegood said:
Clearly anyone who consumes this will 'Have The Power' to vomit blood and have uncontrolable explosive diahrhea.
But at least the bottle looks cool.

I have had Indian whiskey on several occasions, (all of them while serving in Iraq.) My preference was always three fingers, mixed with strawberry fanta, which weirdly neutralizes the scotch flavor that seemed to be added artificially as an afterthought. The experience was the equivalent to a blow to the base of one's neck with a blunt instrument. Not recommended, but still...it was better than drinking the locally produced Arak, manufactured by the Iraqi Chemical Company of Samarra.
Somehow I suspect that the Iraqi Chemical Company of Samarra doesn't quite have the renowned distilling tradition of, say, Highland Park.
Dan replied to ZADL:
In addition to Arak (think Uzo, but you know...worse) they also make paint. house paint. for houses.
BorgQueen said:
Errr... is it separated? Why is it 2 different colors, neither of which look like the color of good whiskey to me.
Kaoy replied to BorgQueen:
I think its just in a sand tinted bottle. What we see of the neck is empty, most likely.

India has been making whiskey since colonial times. Remember the English did not like drinking water. Use to see Indian liquor ads on satilite tv when I lived in the middle east. Ironic when living in dry country
biggs33 said:
Since they claim to be "one of the most EFFLUENT (sic) manufacturers..." you can count on some serious gas with that Power 5000 Super Strong Beer.
Personally I want the Black Fort "matured" rum that looks like it comes in a Log Cabin Syrup bottle. For my waffles.

I'll bet that shit makes Old Crow taste like Booker's in comparison
Malsain said:
Dannoff Vodka is made in Latvia, and I, personally, would love for them to make it into some kind of Dr.Doom themed thing.
I reckon it's a whole untapped market - though looking at the He Man whisky, I guess some are trying...
SvenRedbeard replied to Malsain:
I think Latvia should make it's entire culture into a Dr. Doom theme park, complete with androids, black magic, poverty, and the Marquis of Death.

I need this for my tattoo artist PRONTO. What a perfect "Thank you for finishing my super geeky Star Trek themed sleeve!"
Hagan said:
I've had Indian Rum, it was pretty tasty.
spoon-man42 said:
i need this in my life! RIGHT NOW!
Aku said:
There is a Turtles-pizzeria in the town I live.
Hmmm... said:
Yeah Rob, actually it's ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA. Don't mix your languages.
DoctorSmashy said:
The manliest drink ever made? It's definitely up there.
Darth Sarcasm said:
Sorry. I'm waiting for the Teela Tequila.
Geoff said:
My family's from Goa, so I'm allowed to make this point -
Of course Indians make whiskey, Rob. The main weapon the British used to maintain their hold on the subcontinent wasn't a gun or a sword or a ship, but rather Johnnie Walker.
Darth Shoju said:
How about I send you a bottle of Canadian Club with a picture of Mekaneck on it?
Melice in Wonderland said:
Now all they need is She-ra's vodka to become my favorite company
CmdrLaw said:
Whiskey is one of the most simple drinks to make and was invented in China, why wouldn't it have made it to India??
Brandon Z said:
I'd bet $5 the picture is a fake.
Whether they make it or not is a separate issue. Look at the curvature of the red field next to the curvature of the black line beneath it. Clearly faked.
El Kabong said:
By the Power of Grayskull indeed!
Mother-Efer said:
How about some Teela Tequila?
Rick said:
It shouldn't be any surprise that India makes whiskey, considering that they are the world's largest consumer of whiskey.
From the link above:
The report said that whisky consumption in India reached around 52 million cases in 2002, some 20 per cent higher than that of the US, the second-largest market.
