Speyside Single Malt Launches Arranta Casks Exclusively for U.S. Market

Speyburn is announcing the launch of the newest addition to its range, Arranta Casks. The U.S. only limited release is unique for its exclusive use of first fill American Oak ex-bourbon casks and draws its color and flavor from the wood.

“Arranta” meaning ‘bold’, ‘daring’ and ‘intrepid’ in Scottish Gaelic, Arranta Casks embodies the spirit of the Speyburn distillery.

Speyburn Arranta Casks is bottled at 46% abv (92 proof) and will be available on August 15 as a limited release, exclusively in the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $40.

 Hibiki Japanese Harmony

Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a blend of select whiskies from the House of Suntory Whisky. It is a blend of at least 10 malt and grain whiskies, aged in five different types of casks, from Suntory’s Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. 

The Suntory Whisky blending team is led by third-generation Master Blender and great-grandson of the founder, Shingo Torii, and fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo.

Hibiki Japanese Harmony is the foundation of the Hibiki range, leveraging the same key malt and grain whiskies from the original Hibiki blend, Hibiki 17 Years and Hibiki 21 Years. American White Oak malt whiskies create a solid base. The Mizunara (Japanese oak) and sherry cask malt whiskies are the dressing. The smoky malt whiskies enact as subtle accents to create depth and further complexity. Grain whiskies from Suntory’s Chita distillery act as the “dashi,” or broth, to complete the personality of the malt whiskies and enhance their overall harmony.

43% ABV, SRP $64.99

Ragtime Rye from New York Distilling Company

New York Distilling Company announces its second rye whiskey, Ragtime Rye, a straight American rye whiskey. Following on the heels of Mister Katz’s Rock & Rye, Ragtime Rye is the next progression in a series of rye whiskeys from the Williamsburg, Brooklyn based distillery.

Exclusive use of full size barrels and aging that is a minimum of 3 years positions Ragtime Rye as a distinctive American whiskey in today’s craft distilling boom and culture. Distilled, bottled and aged at New York Distilling Company in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Ragtime Rye is an original recipe developed by Katz and will be available nationwide on September 1st, 2015.

Ragtime Rye is made from a mash bill of 72% rye, 16% corn and 12% malted barley with the primary grains, rye and corn, being derived from New York State. The rye, which is 100% non-GMO and primarily organic, is specifically grown for New York Distilling Company by Pedersen Family Farms in the Central Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.

The whiskey spends a minimum of three years in full size (53 gallon) American oak barrels with a #3 char. The subsequent mellowing that occurs over several seasonal cycles is the result of both varied and extreme temperatures, from the coldness of winter to the heat and humidity of summer.  

Ragtime Rye is bottled at 90.4 proof. Ragtime Rye will be available beginning September 1, 2015. The suggested retail price is $44.

Wild Turkey Master’s Keep

Marking his first release since being appointed to Master Distiller in January 2015 alongside his father, Eddie Russell and his Wild Turkey family announce the release of Wild Turkey Master’s Keep. 

The story of Master’s Keep begins in 1997. Wild Turkey had a surplus of Bourbon and no warehouse space left, so Eddie needed a place to store and age the extra barrels. A friend at another distillery offered his empty stone warehouses, but Eddie knew these would age the Bourbon differently than the wooden warehouses at Wild Turkey. He decided to take a chance and experiment a little, and so the barrels spent several years in stone warehouses before eventually coming back to Wild Turkey’s wooden ones.  

When the barrels were dumped they were at a much lower proof than anticipated. Barreled at 107 proof, the whiskey was 89 proof when dumped and 86.8 proof (43.4% alc./vol.) when bottled – a result of the time these particular barrels spent aging in stone warehouses.

This latest limited-edition from the iconic Bourbon brand will be available nationally in small quantities starting in August 2015 for a suggested retail price of $150.

Rogue Chipotle Whiskey

Rogue Chipotle Whiskey begins at the Rogue farm in Independence, Oregon, where two acres of jalapeños grow close to the banks of the Willamette River. The jalapeños are allowed to ripen until they are bright red, the additional time ripening on the vine means more capsaicin in the pepper, which makes for a spicier pepper. Once harvested by hand, the jalapeños are driven 77 miles to the Rogue Brewery in Newport, Oregon, where they are dried and slowly smoked over cherry and alder woods. The smoky chipotles are then used by Brewmaster John Maier to brew the Rogue Chipotle Whiskey wash.

Once the brewing is complete, the chipotle wash is driven across the parking lot to the Rogue Distillery where more freshly smoked chipotles are added during the distillation process. After distillation, the Chipotle Whiskey is aged in Oregon Oak barrels along with one final addition of chipotles. Rogue Chipotle Whiskey uses chipotles three ways: brewed, distilled, and barrel-aged with Rogue Farms chipotle peppers for three times the flavor and spice.

Rogue Chipotle Whiskey will be available at Rogue meeting halls and select retailers throughout the United States. For more information, please visit rogue.com.

Morewood’s Usquebaugh from Tualatin Valley Distilling 

Tualatin Valley Distilling announced the release of its brand new historic revival spirit, Morewood’s Usquebaugh. Retailing at $59.95, the recipe is a recreation of a pre-Victorian era usquebaugh, loaded with savory spices and botanicals, effectively a farmhouse spirit as it would have been presented in the early 1600’s. Other ingredients and spices come together to build a complex flavor profile, leveraging an equal balance between licorice-infused sweetness and warm but crisp, savory spice notes on the finish.

The original recipe is taken directly from Samuel Morewood’s own documentation published in 1838, but the process of distilling usquebaugh dates back to long before the common production in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

Although O’Donnell says Morewood’s Usquebaugh is easily consumed as-is, he recommends abiding by Morewood’s advice of serving with the “finest lump sugar” available for a slightly sweeter approach to the drink. Additionally, O’Donnell recommends the spirit be consumed around 60-64 degrees Fahrenheit to maintain an authentic approach; though a few ice cubes can also help adjust the flavor for your own palate.

Metze’s Select  Indiana straight bourbon whiskey

MGP’s Lawrenceburg, Ind., distillery has been producing whiskeys for nearly 170 years. MGP announces the introduction of Metze’s Select, a limited edition Indiana straight bourbon whiskey. Metze’s Select combines some of MGP’s favorite whiskeys to produce a bourbon featuring a Lawrenceburg-style high rye characteristic.

MGP’s Master Distiller Greg Metze has crafted only 6,000 hand-numbered bottles of this expression, which is the result of marrying three straight bourbon whiskeys.  The brand consists of 38% 2006 bourbon (21% rye), 3% 2006 bourbon (36% rye), and 59% 2008 bourbon (21% rye), all made by MGP.  Metze’s Select is bottled at 46.5% alcohol by volume and will be available in 750ml bottles at a suggested retail price of $74.99.  It is expected to be available at retail beginning in September this year.

San Francisco’s Anchor Distilling Co. will handle the sales and marketing of Metze’s Select.

WhistlePig Old World Rye

WhistlePig announces a new permanent expression, the Old World. The Old World combines American rye with European Sauternes, Madeira and Port oak wine casks.

After studying the techniques of the Old World -- particularly Scotch whiskies -- Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and the WhistlePig team finished 12-year-old rye in premium European Sauternes, Madeira, and Port wine casks, releasing these single wine barrel finishes individually as the Old World Series in limited quantities this spring.

The series debuted with the Sauternes finish, making WhistlePig the first company to age American rye in casks from this highly rare, sweet white wine. The Madeira finish was inspired by America's first President, George Washington, who was a passionate drinker of Madeira wine and also a distiller of rye whiskey himself. The port finish combines the bold taste of rye with the sweetness of the Portuguese wine, perfectly combining the old world with the new world. WhistlePig then carefully married the three whiskeys into the Old World.

The Old World comes from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley and has a suggested retail price of $117.99. Barrel-finished and bottled by hand at 86 proof on the WhistlePig Farm.

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey

Heaven Hill Brands announces the launch of a super-premium spirit, Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey. At 6 years old and 110 proof, this new expression of Pikesville Rye is produced at Heaven Hill’s historic Bernheim Distillery in Louisville and aged in its premier rickhouses in Bardstown, Ky. With a suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 750ml bottle, it will roll out in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles in Summer 2015, with allocated national distribution to follow in the Fall.

Distilled from at least 51 percent rye, with corn and malted barley as the “small” grains, Pikeville Rye has a pale copper color, reflecting its extra aging. This marks the first major new product launch since Denny Potter was named Heaven Hill Brand’s Co-Master Distiller. Potter selected each extra-aged barrel and determined the spirit’s ideal proof level.

With its Maryland roots dating back to 1895, Pikesville Rye returned after Prohibition, surviving ownership changes and the decline of the Maryland Rye whiskey industry. With Maryland production coming to a close in the 1980s, Pikesville Rye was kept alive by Heaven Hill Brands, which has produced the spirit in Kentucky ever since. It is a prominent brand in Maryland and is served throughout the Baltimore metropolitan area. The traditional 80-proof, 3-year-old Pikesville Rye will remain in production and will continue to be distributed in Maryland.

Changes to Nikka Whisky

Masataka Taketsuru founded Nikka Whisky Company in 1934; 81 years later his Japanese whiskies, produced at the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, are booming worldwide. And with that immense popularity comes the challenge of keeping up with demand. Today, Anchor Distilling Company, Nikka’s U.S. importer, announces changes to U.S. inventory, driven by Nikka’s conscientious efforts to maintain stocks and balance the needs of long maturation periods. 

Japanese whisky enthusiasts will be able to readily find Nikka Coffey Grain (45% ABV, SRP $69.99), a grain whisky produced in an Aeneas Coffey column still at Miyagikyo distillery in Sendai, Japan, as well as a new non-age statement Taketsuru Pure Malt (43% ABV, SRP $69.99), produced from a blend of single malts created at the Yoichi distillery, located in Hokkaido, Japan, and at Miyagikyo. Nikka’s aged single malts – Yoichi 15 Year Old, Miyagikyo 12 Year Old, and Taketsuru 17 and 21 Year Olds – will continue to be available in the U.S. on a limited-allocation basis.

Pendleton Midnight

Hood River Distillers, Inc., the largest and oldest importer, distiller, producer and bottler of distilled spirits in the Northwest, announces today the expansion of its Pendleton Whisky portfolio with the introduction of Pendleton Midnight, a premium select 90 proof Canadian whisky.

Crafted with many of Pendleton Whisky’s tried and true ingredients, including glacier-fed spring water from Oregon’s Mt. Hood. Added complexity and fruit forward characteristics specific to Pendleton Midnight are achieved through aging a portion of the blend in American brandy barrels while notes of leather and warm spices provide a full-bodied flavor. The result is a 90 proof oak barrel-aged whisky.

Available in select markets beginning in September 2015, Pendleton Midnight will retail for approximately $34.99 (750 ml). For more information about the product and cocktail recipes, please visit PendletonWhisky.com

Jack Daniel’s Barrel Proof

The Jack Daniel Distillery announces the nationwide release of the brand’s first-ever barrel strength offering within the coveted Single Barrel Collection, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof. The newest member of the Jack Daniel’s Family of Brands will hit shelves in August and will be available across the U.S.

Barrel Proof, ranging from 125 to 140 proof, is the Jack Daniel Distillery’s second offering in the Single Barrel Collection which includes Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select. Select is a 94-proof single barrel Tennessee Whiskey with a robust, full-bodied flavor complemented by Jack Daniel’s smooth charcoal-mellowed character. Together, Select and Barrel Proof combine to create the world’s finest collection of single barrel Tennessee Whiskey. The collection uses Jack Daniel’s unique charcoal-mellowing process. 

Barrel Proof is crafted using the same cave spring water from the Jack Daniel’s Hollow, proprietary yeast and charcoal-mellowing process that’s been used in the distillery’s nearly 150-year-old Tennessee Whiskey recipe. From there, the liquid enters a charred White American Oak barrel, forged within Jack Daniel’s very own cooperage and set to age in the upper regions of the barrelhouse. In this resting place, the whiskey is exposed to the extreme temperature variations that a Lynchburg, Tennessee season brings. The interaction of the whiskey, the wood and the environment creates nuances from barrel to barrel to bring out distinct flavor profiles that transcend the expected to become ‘Barrel Proof.’

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof will be available nationwide beginning August 2015. The product will be priced approximately $65.00 per 750ml.

Remember Ski Free? Remember the peeing dogs and the trees that got in the way of everything and the yeti? I loved Ski Free. I think it was the only Windows game I played because I liked it and found it funny rather than because it was a master class in getting you addicted.

A mere two and a half decades later you can now play as the yeti thanks to the adorable Ludum Dare entry, Mr Yeti’s Fast Food [official site]! Look at this cute death monster :D

Controls for the yeti are WASD and the longer you run the more energy you burn so you’ll need to be smart about when to give chase and when to let that jerk escape in favour of trying for an easier kill.

I am completely terrible at the actual game and keep running into trees. My high score is six. SIX. God, that’s awful. The high scores are for people with over a hundred. HOW CAN I EAT THE POPULATION OF THIS SKI RESORT WITH SO MANY TREES IN THE WAY?

Google Apps users are going to start having an easier time managing their calendar. With an update rolling out this week, Google Calendar will begin automatically grabbing events that it detects in Gmail — like flights and hotel or restaurant reservations — and adding an entry for them. Those entries are supposed to stay updated, too, should there be a change in plans or a delay. Google says that basically any ticketed event should be detected.

This feature has already been available to the average Google account holder since earlier this year, but Google Apps users — who are using a Google account for work — typically have to wait a bit longer for new features. Google says the feature should roll out over the coming week to everyone with a Google Apps account, except for those in government.

Hello youse.

Do you like leaning really close to a person and whispering in their ear? So close to them that the heat from your breath makes the fine hair on their neck prickle? Do you like whispering secrets? Do you like it when your lips brush an earlobe and you hear a small catch in someone’s throat? Almost a gasp. Almost a sigh.

Then Witness might be the game for you.

WITNESS

Witness is a game about those famous old comic book detectives Bonk and Bistro. No, Blake and Mortimer. I have no idea who these guys are, but when I pulled out the game someone at the table said “Ooh! Blake and Mortimer!” So it must be some kind of TinTin thing. Some kind of European comic thing about guys who probably can’t even fight. I bet they can’t even punch anybody through a building. Idiots. Anyway, I have no idea who they are. But there are these lovely illustrations of these two fellas throughout this game, and they are joined by their two friends from the comic book – Bonk and Bistro, or something. There are four of them. They all look like they can’t fight. Idiots. But there are exactly four of them.

This is key.

Four. Because only four players can play this game. Not one. Not two. Not three. Definitely not five. Only four. And I can hear you all moaning already. “Four?! Robert, we can’t even get one player. And there are five of us!” But – but – but – LOOK. I did not design this game. If I did, I’d probably base it on characters who can at least fling a train through a volcano. But I am here to tell you that forcing the game to be a four player thing is GREAT. Because this is a very unique experience. A treat.

So there are these books, little casebooks, and each player has their own one. Each casebook is different, for each character. The casebook is theirs, with their clues. There are 64 different cases in the game, ranging from very easy (not that easy actually) to really hard (really really really hard). Each case has an introductory paragraph or so, explaining the context of the current “mystery”.

So it might say something like:

“You are sitting in your disgusting and filthy flat, reading the latest board game review on Rock Paper Shotgun. Only this game isn’t a board game! It’s some kind of mystery game that forces you to whisper into people’s ears. Oh, and someone is dead. The lieutenant is here and he has measured the length of the dead man’s genitalia. He has also forced his hand down the throat of the corpse and felt for what the dead man had for his dinner last night. Also, there is a dog in the room, and I dunno – something about the dog.”

Then, everyone opens their casebook to the relevant page and reads about the clues that their character knows. After that, the first round of whispering starts. Yes. You whisper your clues into another player’s ear.

But get this. Someone will be whispering clues into your ear too. And then it all switches direction. So let’s say you whisper a clue into Beyonce’s ear. She may then have to whisper your clue and her own clue into Katy Perry’s ear. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus has whispered into your ear, and you into hers. And then she whispers all of that back at Katy Perry.

You whisper and whisper, the clues moving round the table, and they start to become forgotten and confused. It’s such fun.

And then, with the whispering over, the game asks three questions relating to the current crime. Everyone writes down their answers, using the clues they’ve learned, and points are awarded for the correct answers.

And that’s it. It’s entirely co-operative, impossible for any player to boss it, and a heap of fun. It’s excellent – excellent – how the game manages to make the cases different. The magic is in how the game poses the questions at the end of each case. It’s often surprising, asking you to do things you might not have expected. You’ll be drawing stuff, puzzle-solving, using logic – all aided or hindered by those whispered clues.

This game, listen, is fantastic. A game plays in about ten minutes. You can blast through a few mysteries before you play the big game of the night. Or you can just get drunk and whisper all night long. How good does that sound? I know that some of you will be worrying about replayability, but there are a lot of cases, so the game offers a lot of value for money. At thirty-odd quid for about ten hours of game, how can you argue with that? Get it, and play through it with three of your friends.

Check out this trailer…

Or.

Or.

And.

THIS GAME IS A SEXY GAME

Yeah, listen. This is one of the few (very few, very very few) board games that I’d call sexy. Whispering into someone’s ear is sexy. When you’re also whispering and giggling and making eye contact and all of that, there is a lot of potential here for Witness to be a great couples game. Or just a game for friends who have fun. Listen, I’m not judging you here. Friends who have fun. Whisper into some ears, seriously.

I mean, stuff could happen while playing this game. I’m telling you. It’s intimate and… Mmm.

I’m getting hot and bothered.

I need to go.

* whisper * I need to go. Now.

BY THE WAY

Actually, one more thing. If you’re an old-school computer game man like me, you might be very excited by the news that M.U.L.E. The Board Game is coming very soon. Based on the wonderful Dani Bunten game from way back in the way back, in the C64 days, it just looks so good. LOOK GOD DAMN IT.

Updates are meant to make games better, adding in new features and fixes to improve the experience for players. But it doesn't always work out like that; often, they instead introduce unexpected bugs or other problems that can ruin a game that previously worked just fine. If you use PC gaming service GOG Galaxy, though, that won't be a problem anymore.

The Steam competitor, which launched back in May, is introducing a new feature called "rollback," which does exactly what it sounds like: it lets you revert to a previous version of a game in case an update is causing problems. Galaxy previously made updates an optional feature, and this new addition takes things a step further. "With the newest update to GOG Galaxy, we're giving our users more control over their games and patches," explains GOG's Piotr Karwowski.

The feature is part of the first major update for the service, bringing it to version 1.1, which also includes smaller changes like a tweaked UI and improved social features. It's live today for those who are part of the Galaxy preview program, and should be available to all users "very soon."

A picture of assault weapons laying on the trunk of a car, shared on Facebook with an oblique message about going to the Pokémon World Championships in Boston, was enough for police to detain and ultimately arrest two men on firearms charges there.

"What we can read is what they were saying and the actions that they took, bringing the weapons they were showing online as a threat," Boston police superintendent Paul A. Fitzgerald told reporters yesterday.

James Stumbo (left), 27 and Kevin Norton (right), 18, both of Iowa, were detained on Thursday after security for the Pokémon championships noticed the threatening Facebook post and reported it to local law enforcement. Police had to wait for a judge to approve a search warrant, which they executed on Friday, to find the guns and a lot of ammunition in their vehicle.

Fitzgerald said authorities believed the two were capable of pulling off a mass shooting. Boston P.D. worked the case with a joint terrorism task force that includes federal authorities.

The Suffolk County, Massachusetts district attorney's office went into greater detail about the alleged threat in a news release. Stumbo allegedly posted the photo to a public Facebook page called "Mayhem Pokemon Crew," naming Norton in it. Police found an AR-15 assault rifle, a 12-gauge Remington shotgun and ammunition in the vehicle the suspects drove from Iowa to Boston, then arrested the two at a nearby hotel.

Prosecutors said Stumbo threatened "Columbine part 2," "another Boston massacre," and the 2013 Boston marathon bombing in a Facebook chatroom conversation among several individuals, threatening one of its participants with "my AR-15." Norton, prosecutors said, threatened to shoot another person at the event on Friday after he was banned from a chatroom.

The Boston Globe noted that Stumbo appears to have been a winner in state-level Pokémon tournaments earlier this year. He and Norton face a variety of firearms charges, though none yet for making threats.

The 2015 Pokémon World Championships concluded on Sunday without disruption, crowning champions in six different divisions.

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina back in 2005, five former New Orleans police officers were sentenced to six to 65 years in prison in connection to on-the-job deadly shootings of unarmed civilians. But recently, these five officers had their convictions set aside by a federal appeals court. Why? Federal prosecutors' anonymous online comments posted underneath local news accounts of the officers' ongoing 2011 trial "contributed to the mob mentality potentially inherent in instantaneous, unbridled, passionate online discourse," the court said. In light of that, the appellate court found a fair trial wasn't possible.

The New Orleans-based 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week (PDF) that the prosecutors' behavior, unearthed by the same forensic expert who helped identify the Unabomber, created an "air of bullying" that federal prosecutors were "sworn to respect."

"Just as a mob protesting outside the courthouse has the potential to intimidate parties and witnesses, so do streams of adverse online comments," the court ruled 2-1. "The online anonymous postings, whether the product of lone wolf commenters or an informal propaganda campaign, gave the prosecution a tool for public castigation of the defendants that it could not have used against them otherwise, and in so doing deprived them of a fair trial."

At a press conference yesterday about the Ashley Madison hack, Toronto police distributed a flyer to the assembled reporters with the lyrics to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck." The music mystery lasted a short while, before it was revealed that Ashley Madison employees came to work on July 12th (well before the data was made public) to the song blaring from the office's computers along with a "threatening message" from the hackers to publish private data belonging to millions of its users. As we all know, the hackers later made good on that threat.

It's not the first time a hack has been set to this particular soundtrack, either. Back in 2012, security researcher Mikko Hypponen received an email in which an Iranian scientist reported hearing the song coming from their computers. Though that story couldn't be verified, its believed a tool called Metasploit was involved in the hack.

Heck, security researchers have created instructions online for recreating the hack if you're interested, including PowerShell code created by Christopher Campbell that was made available on GitHub after a security talk in 2013. (None of which means the Ashley Madison hackers used any of those tools, of course.)

Twelve-year-old me couldn't have imagined "Thunderstruck," a song about partying so hard in Texas that you end up lying prone on some railroad tracks, would become the de facto "You got hacked" song. Now, hearing the high pitched wheedle of Angus Young's guitar should make us sit up and take notice — probably with a sense of dread. But then, when hasn't that been the case?

Let us listen to it now:

A.J. Langer—the actress best known for playing Rayanne Graff on My So-Called Life, is now a countess. That news comes courtesy of a new piece in Vanity Fair aptly titled “How a My So-Called Life Actress Became a Member of British Nobility,” which is well-worth a read for any fans of the 20-year-old show or of the millennia-old British monarchy.

Langer became the Countess of Devon through marriage, of course, having met now-husband Charley Courtenay at the Hard Rock Circle Bar in Las Vegas sometime around the turn of the millennium. At the time, she had no idea that he had a title, though she was ultimately dubbed “Lady” when they were married in 2002. Earlier this month, when Courtenay’s father, the 18th Earl Of Devon, died, he became the Earl and Langer—an actress whose hair was once absolutely riddled with baby barrettes and skinny braids ...

Bryan Cranston — goofy dad on Malcom in the Middle and ruthlessly cold dad on Breaking Bad — will play a dad in an upcoming comedy with noted academic James Franco, The Wrap reports.

The movie, delightfully titled Why Him?, will star Franco as a "tech billionaire" dating Cranston's daughter. When Cranston goes to visit his daughter at Stanford, he butts heads with Franco, who presumably will spend much of the movie smirking, quoting Kierkegaard, and wearing four Apple Watches on each wrist. But who knows!

There's no word yet on when the movie will be released.

Danzig, with his luscious dyed locks and his puffy, pale body, has signed on for an upcoming appearance on Portlandia. Judging by a picture tweeted out by Carrie Brownstein, Danzig will play a member of the show’s goth gang, joining Brownstein and Fred Armisen in a scene meant to poke fun at what it’s like to be a creature of the night who’s still forced to spend time at the beach. Clad in all black, naturally, Danzig is sporting a full slate of goth beachwear, including industrial boots, chains, and gym shorts. He’s also got his shirt open, because even a dark legend can enjoy the sun once in a while.
