The Idea...
We are Matthew March and Mac Altgelt, the ever-hazy minds behind
The Perfect Pour Flask, Measured Spirits Decanter.
The
idea came to us on a pleasant winter afternoon in one of our
favorite drinking destinations, Bandera, Texas. An old
man in a cowboy hat and dirty brush jacket limped into the very
establishment we had chosen to patronize that sunny Sunday.
As
we sat kicking ourselves for being ill-prepared and liquorless
in the old saloon which happened to be BYOL (Bring Your Own Liquor),
the cowboy reached into his coat and pulled out the most beautiful
sight our bleary eyes had ever seen. We couldn’t
say for sure what the container was, but we knew one thing for
certain: that salvation lay in the warm brown bourbon entombed
beneath its surface.
As he invited us to join him in a
shot we both tried to summon the waitress from her post to bring
three glasses. “Unnecessary,” the vagabond
proclaimed, and with a squeeze of his hand on the main reservoir
of the bottle a measured one ounce chamber was filled to delicious,
hang-over eradicating perfection.
After sharing two to
five rounds from his magic flagon, we inquired as to its origin. “Horse-wormer!” he
exclaimed, “You boys just got dewormed with your buzz!” We
finished a few more rounds of beers and parted ways with the
old stranger, both of us knowing we needed to get our hands on
a couple of those bottles.
The next day we took the only logical
step and went to the feed store to purchase a couple jugs of
horse-wormer to dump and refill with whatever spirits our hearts
may desire. To our chagrin,
however, we discovered that a sixteen ounce bottle of wormer
runs about thirty-two dollars. No bottles for us; not that
way.
After a couple more weekends of ranch trips, parties,
sleeping on sidewalks, and drinking away hangovers, we began
to notice that the bottle we discovered that day in Bandera could
fulfill a practically endless list of applications in the drinking-man’s
life.
So we took it upon ourselves to find a way to get
this modern marvel of boozing technology into the hands of every
true alcohol aficionado that may wish to enjoy a precisely measured
libation.
