Dammit

Ah well, consoling myself with a nice Bowmore :thumbsup:

You do what I did in that situation -- Get out the drill.

I'm confused. If you can't figure out how to get the whiskey out of the bottle then maybe you shouldn't be drinking. If you can get the whiskey out of the bottle then what's the problem? Either way, alcohol is bad for you and you shouldn't drink.

I thought you meant that the cork fell into the whiskey and was floating around rotting in there, get a corkscrew and a backup cork for storage

Still got the receipt, so I intend to take it back and get a replacement bottle...

Otherwise, I would :thumbsup:

I should have pre-emptively noted that the neck isn't a standard wine-bottle cork size, so I don't have anything handy to stopper it

If you are an alcoholic, then probably no.

On your next bottle, try turning it upside down for awhile before you open it. Also, use a very light back and forth twisting motion to break the seal before you try to completely remove the cork.

Cheers, I will make sure I do that with the next one :thumbsup:

I suspect this one had been sitting for quite a while.

Seeing double is a sign you're too drunk.

Nothing a hammer won't fix.

I'd be more concerned about the broken cap as to the quality of the whiskey than anything else.

You should NEVER open a bottle of whiskey, consume a portion of it, then re-cap it. The stuff goes bad overnight when you do that.

You're SUPPOSED to open the bottle, throw away the cap, consume the entire bottle in one sitting...fall down.

I lived with that philosophy for many years...and I went through a fifth of Crown Royal every night...without fail.

Or not drunk enough.

What the hell whiskey is that? Popular down in Australia, I imagine? It makes sense, upon reflection, that Australia would have their own style of whiskey, but I never seen or heard of it before.

I haven't tried it yet

Reviews are a mixed bag online, but I figured it was worth a try.

 

[deftron]

Get a decanter you amateur...

 

[Red Squirrel]

It's not a problem if you can't find a backup cork. Just make sure you drink it all in the same sitting, then you don't have to worry about how you'll close it.

Seen the movie Bottle Shock? Just whip out a samurai sword and cut off the top of the bottle.

I had one of those(or something similar) when I was little. It worked pretty well. I don't know when that came out, but I bet mine was from some time in the mid 60s. I got it in the mid 70s used at a yard sale.

I used to have a lot of cool stuff. If I only knew what their true value was...

Hindsight's 20-20, eh? :^?
