So, tonight, I figure I would indulge myself and reach for my favorite bottle of Laphroaig. As I imagine the sweet smokey goodness emanating from my Glen Cairn whisky glass while slowly removing the cork, I neglect the alarm bells going off in my head. Something wasn't right, and by the time I realized it, 'twas too late. The cork stopper had snapped, and half was in the bottle, half in my hand.
I tried removing it with a corkscrew, but to no avail. All that did was drop pieces of cork into the golden elixir.
Distraught, I pondered the next step. It's always good to have a funnel, strainer, and EMPTY Scotch Whisky bottle handy. So now, much to the chagrin of Jim McEwan and his associates, a bottle of Bruichladdich 10 holds what was left of my Laphroaig.
Tragedy averted.
Moral - Always keep an empty bottle. You never know when you will need it.
