Galvin0791 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Just in case you haven't seen this yet, it looks like Johnnie Walker will be available in paper bottles next year. Will consumers accept this? Will it become a "trend" (I sure hope not) Puts a new spin on recycling, no? Let's see if I did this correctly. Hopefully the link works.

flahute Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I'm very skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Will paper bottles have as successful a run as paper straws? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Maybe I wouldn't have broken my CEHT last week if it was paper!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Milk, and juice are commonly in paper cartoons. I don't drink either. How successful was/is plastic bottles for liquor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Johnnie Walker in a juice box. What's the shelf life before it starts to oxidize. With Johnnie Walker Red, could you even tell the difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Well, there is any whisky where it won’t make that much difference what the container is made of then it would probably be JW Red. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I expect to await the long-term proof of the viability of paper containers for any of my whiskey. When whiskeys so packaged have been in bunkers for 30-years I'll make my decision; based upon the remaining qualities (or lack thereof) of the contents. This gives me a doubled chance of making the best of this situation. 1) I will have definitive data upon which to base my decision. 2) I'll be long gone, thus preventing a wrong decision! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 This might reduce the stigma of drinking from a bottle in a paper bag. Paper is made from wood pulp. Does this mean Harry can continue to age his bourbon in paper bottles stored in the trunk of his car? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
