Not bad really. It's not great but it's perfectly fine in my Old Fashioneds. I've heard rumors that Dickel bottles it but it doesn't taste like it to me.
I have a jar with all my whiskey bottle corks, need a replacement? I'm not far...
Glad you got it out.
Not a bad idea saving old ones. Will come in handy if something like that happens.

HAHA first you have to get past the retiree's at the door checking your membership. They made me stand in line at Guest Services to fill out a guest pass, only to have Guest Services tell me that's not their policy and they don't what they're talking about. I'll keep that in mind though for when I stop by again.

Damn that sucks and a full bottle too. I had something similar that happened to the old style cork stopper of Elijah Craig, but mine was halfway finished. I once had a bottle of Booker's which as you know has those waxed-in corks. The damn wax ripper (or w/e you call it) broke and I had to cut it open with a knife. Nearly sliced my hand open in the process.
Older Wild Turkey corks are notorious for breaking...
Coincidentally, I just ran across this article today’s.

I know of a couple people who look down on Weller simply because it has a screw cap. I do find the muffled “thoombp” sound removing a cork makes strangely satisfying though.
I dont necessarily mind the screwcaps, but the metal ones that Weller used suck. If you bend one, its trash. If you over-tighten, the threads smooth out like removing a dent from a car.
I keep corks for a display, like guys keep a jar of cigar bands. It's secondarily useful if one goes bad. But if you drink much Weller, better stick a few caps in a drawer.
Oh, and I dont mind the fake cork versions at all. BT comes to mind.

I’m in the same camp as you. A good screw cap is almost as hard as finding a good quality cork. Blanton’s comes to mind for quality traditional corks but so does Tin Cup and their use of the synthetic cork. Haven’t handled a Weller cap before and the only screw caps I’ve handled were that of the Irish variety. Never had any problems.
I too keeps all of my corks/caps but find that the authentic corks tend to shrink when dried.

No pic but went out to dinner tonight and saw blantons on the bourbon list for 7$ And I’ve never had the chance to try it before so I got a single pour and i immediately started to regret that decision. Should have gotten a double. That stuff is incredible.

Nice Lancero. The 114 is a solid bourbon for a great price. It’s definitely in need of a more modern bottle designAnother new one for me, and not the cigar.
