Oh Merlin, yes, I remember the spider venom. Of course it was horrible, that was the worst idea we've ever had. Miracle we didn't end up poisoning ourselves on accident.
Anyway, I'll bring over some of the whiskey I've got and you can give it a try, if you want. I dunno how good it would be if we just tried to replicate it or something, but if I get desperate I might try it anyway.
