V.Aye.R Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It was stored upright. I did open it kind of to the side when it snapped off. Anyway put it in the decanter but it was gone the saturday night anyway.There is such a thing as a bad cork. Maybe just unlucky. I always keep a few old ones in the event of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There definitely is. I've had one snap off a brand new bottle before and that's just whisky. I've had plenty of bottles of wine where the cork disintegrated on opening as well. The point about keeping spares is very valid though. I keep a few in a wee box when I chuck the bottles out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that around the time it was released and was tempted, I've still got a bottle of Spica from North Star that's absolutely sparkling, love it. Similar abv and a total bargain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to try a bad Dalmore, usually its pricey so don't buy it too often though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI HAT Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Can't go wrong with Dalmore, lovely dram in a lovely bottle. Was disappointed, again, in the Amazon sale just finished. Had just ordered a bottle from SMWS so waiting for that to arrive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I cant bring myself to buy a Dalmore since most of them are 40%. I have an almost pathological resistance to paying for that volume of water even if I have had many good drams at that level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
