No, though it will probably taste better. The strength of a liquor is not affected by it's temperature.
Chilled lead shot has less antimony than "magnum lead shot" and therefore is softer than Magnum lead shot. Though I have never noticed a difference between the two, some say the chilled shot doesn't break clay birds as well at the range.
The straight ball.
no
Going "like a shot" means "as straight and as fast as a bullet shot from a gun."
Yes
They're about 13 miles apart by road, a bit less "as the crow flies" (but not a lot less; it's a pretty straight shot).
No, they fly straight.
the straight ball
yes,straight through the lung
No. Franklin was never shot at, much less hit by a bullet, much less hit in the head.
A shot glass ...
Crown Royal, being a premium Canadian Whiskey is best straight on the rocks and sipped. A chilled shot is also good. A popular shot with a layered effect is called a Duck Fart. Add to a shot glass 1/2 oz Kahlua, 1/2oz Bailey's Irish Cream and top with Crown Royal. Add ingredients slowly and pour ingredients on top of the back of a spoon to create the layers.
