Not had a bottle for ages. Where did you buy from? Its getting beyond its price bracket tbh, and has been for a while but it is gutting. Used to get it for forty quid. An outrageous bargain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I paid £59.99 which I appreciate is steep but you have to remember I was in the pub and pished and really enjoying the dram I had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Actually, you just minded me of the time I ordered a bottle whilst gassed away from home working. In the intervening days I realised I had ordered it to be sent hom and had to re order another one to come to my place of business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its worse when you don't remember and some courier chaps your door with a bottle 3 days after your night out. I had to phone a website up once to check what I'd ordered [emoji23][emoji1634] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just me 2 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. Do you store it on its side? Apologies if I'm telling you something obvious that you already know, but whisky should be stored upright, total opposite of wine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous I have a batch 54 and the 35 (I think) he has is a lot better. Mine has something of a nail varnish tinge to it that I don't really like unless well watered down. The 35 will have a lot more aged whisky than mine if I had to guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
