This just happened

[Balcones Winston]

I was all excited about good news I received today. I said, "I'm gonna open a good fuckin' bottle of whiskey tonight" at my buddy's place, so I set the bottle by my front door. I went to the bathroom for a minute and heard a glass crash. I look at the front door, my dog is walking away and I see this

[MyOldKyDram]

I hope you weren't too attached to ole Spot.

[AaronWF]

Nurse! The mop!!

[Merkin]

Consider it an offering to the patron saint of spilled whiskey....Saint Mungo the Intemperate

Seriously...I give you credit for being able to hold the camera steady....If it was me..the sobbing would produce a blurry picture.

That's a PVWFRR? !!

I hate to say this but if the floor is clean I am tempted to retrieve and filter it. Hahaha.

But with the dog and such, probably not.

Hope you have another one.

Cheers

Hugh

I don't have a dog..life is good!!:cool:

[MyOldKyDram]

Brutal.

It's like the Red Wedding all over again, only with rye.

[Clavius]

Well that sucks.

[dustyj]

That's a crime scene...:bigeyes: if I ever saw one.

[savagehenry]

Quick, somebody get a straw!

[Wryguy]

That's really rough, but unfortunately not the first time I've seen that happen with the flimsy wine/cognac bottle style that PVW uses. My buddy dropped a PVW20 from height of three feet onto a stone floor and it was in a million pieces. Meanwhile on another occasion, I dropped three Saz18s and a PHC cognac down a FLIGHT of stone stairs and they all survived intact. Dumb luck, but BTAC bottles are sturdy, as are all PHC after the first edition. I've noticed that the base of the PHC 1st is a full quarter inch thinner and a bit more flared and broad than the other editions of PHC (note my first edition is the 2nd pour - don't know if this is true of the 3rd or 1st pours).

Maybe some of those guys from the bourbon exchange would come by and “Hoover†your floor clean.

[GaryT]

DOH! I would say that I feel your pain, but I can only imagine the pain and agony of that sight in person. My deepest condolences :cry:

[Halifax]

That right there will make a grown man cry...

[WAINWRIGHT]

You can mark the outline of the dog and the bottle side by side on the floor at least!:lol:Damn shame my dogs usually only spill my beer,I feel your pain.

[hectic1]

I would have a hard time not sticking the intact end of that bottle in an orifice that would make that dog very uncomfortable!

Well you're just nasty Bob that's why

[Richnimrod]

So sad to see that pic. :bigeyes: I once dropped a brand-damned-new bottle of Elijah Craig 18 on my driveway and saw it break instantly into several dozen pieces. A very sorry, empty (in every sense of the word) feeling, indeed. My condolences.

[WhiskyRI]

You have my sympathies. My question is what did you open to soothe your pain?

[MyOldKyDram]

A can of whoop ass on a dog.

[Old Dusty]

A can of whoop ass on a dog.

He shoots he scores! Well played sir.

[MyOldKyDram]

Thanks, but Winston is the one who scored. Per his twitter he "settled" for a 17 yr 4R OBSV. #straightbourbonproblems

[Old Dusty]

Agreed, nice consolation prize.

[Balcones Winston]

You have my sympathies. My question is what did you open to soothe your pain?

I "settled" for this

[theglobalguy]

Looks like covering the bottle in bacon drippings so the dog would tackle it worked!
