Whisky Mystery

Post by Fingal »

Yesterday our supplies included an almost full bottle of the Jura. This morning I find there is a scant 30mm in the bottom of the bottle. I can only assume that footpads came aboard during the hours of darkness and spirited it away. Has anyone else experienced this mysterious phenomenon?

Shorely shome mishtake?

I also had the pleasure of a small lunchtime dram on board Silkie in a damp Oitir Mhor Bay earlier today.

Feel the heat - it's evaporation. The Angels clearly feel thy haven't had their share.
Good Film BTW.

Further celebrations aboard Silkie today when I found the long lost bottle of Tobermory. :D

It's poor quality corks that are to blame, I'm sure of it. The cheap cooking whisky in Wully's world last a good while but the malts disappear at a fair auld rate.

Cheap whusky - screw tops.
Good whusky. - proper corks.

That's got to be the reason?

I'm sure some of the academiks oan here could devise a clever experiment to prove this theory?

( academiks = Jaiky for the hard of thinking)
