Mice! Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Bit random this but bought a bottle of whiskey at the weekend and the bottle its in is huge, really tall like a wine bottle so doesn't fit on the shelf it should. Can I simply pour it into another empty whiskey bottle or would it loose some of its flavour? Single malt cork stoppers any thoughts.

moondoggy Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Can't you just pour it into yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Send it to me I've got some shorter bottles it will fit in They're the perfect height for most shelves, though for some reason they make whiskey taste like cold tea....

Mice! Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Penderyn, the wife has been getting me a bottle of single malt every now and then and I'm not going to discourage her, won't get it again its not as smooth as others I've had slightly funny after taste could be peat or Smokey. Kept the other bottles because I like them and the whiskey, Dimple was really nice, the Aberlour was really good a 40th present. The monkey shoulder was good, Wife got it on offer at Morrison's would get it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustratingly some Scottish producers occasionally adopt the 'e' as well, although i cannot think of an example right now. The Canadians and Japanese also favour the spelling 'whisky'.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Whisky is a dark drink for me Dave. I enjoy a peaty malt now and again, but i dare not drink a lot. I only really enjoy sipping the Malts, used to win a lot of cheap ordinary stuff when clay shooting years ago and would give it away. Last bottle I won was a Lagavulin and that was passed to a Mate in Somerset who enjoyed it more than I would have done. Each to their own I guess, love good brandy and Armagnac though, now Port is another matter, I enjoy all sorts from the basic to the vintage years.

Me.........I just get slowly but happily inebriated! I have no idea what it is about it either, but have seen the same as you where mild mannered folks get a bit 'handy'. I don't get angry or anything like that, just way too introspective and deep. If i'm in the right mood I can enjoy a few drams, but it's not a drink I would choose to have a couple of in a regular evening.

saddler Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Got a distillery a few miles from me. The bus to town routes by it sometimes. Having done the tour as a car driver I'm tempted to try to time it by bus some day to be able to enjoy more of the free samples dished out at the end of the visit. Never having been educated on the single malt distinction it was an eye opening tour & I've not looked at a blended whisky since. If you ever get the chance to do such a tour, or join one of the single malt tasting days that some retailers organise, do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's me 1 whisky or a bottle of Broon when I have had a few and I want to fight the world and his brother any other spirit or beer and I am fine so I never touch the stuff Bourbon is fine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrM Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 What is the Monkey Shoulder like? Have heard good things but never had tried it. Monkey Shoulder is blended from 3 MALTs - (Glenfiddich, Balvennie, and Kininvie) - very nice whisky to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
