nysquire Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm looking for an E-mail address or phone number to Mclain & Kyne Distillery. The glass decanter top pulled out of the cork on our brand new bottle, leaving the cork in the bottle. Getting the cork out at that point wasn't fun. We had to remove it in little pieces, losing some down in the bourbon. Very disappointing, seeing it's nearly $60 a bottle. More disappointing is the unavailability to contact them through their website or any contact info, except for an address. If anybody has contact info, it'd be great...As far as the bourbon, definitely woody with a little hint of cork pulp....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdelling Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 The same thing happened to me. I was pulling out the stopper, and thecork broke off, leaving the bottom half stuck in the bottle. Luckily,I was able to pull it out without letting any fall into the amber nectar.I've now stoppered the bottle with a synthetic cork... it has thecharming "thunk" sound of the real thing, but none of the drawbacks.Tim Dellinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedmans Brorsa Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I´m a Jefferson casualty, as well. I think we have a case here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbassdad Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 This talk of broken cork has caused me to wonder whether my one, not-to-be-repeated purchase of JR was similarly afflicted. The cork on the stopper of my bottle appeared to be misshapen rather than broken. However, as I look back at my tasting notes, I can't help but wonder whether the taste that I likened to wooden pencil shavings might have been due to cork fragments that I didn't notice. Now I would like to have an experimental taste from another bottle (one purchased by someone else ). Yours truly, Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrbriggs Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 The same thing happened to me. I was pulling out the stopper, and the cork broke off, leaving the bottom half stuck in the bottle. The exact same thing happened to me with my very first bottle of Booker's that I brought to a friend's house for New Year's Eve. Luckily he broke out a screw and somehow pulled the cork out!

Ken Weber Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 This is interesting. Since I live in Louisville and am familiar with Alta Vista Road, I am a bit surprised that someone has hidden a distillery there!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedmans Brorsa Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I had a sip of it yesterday evening and I have to say that it is a delicious whiskey! As you might expect from a 15yo there is wood but on an acceptable level. The nose is better still : smooooth lemon underpinned by light spicy oak. Makes you glad to be alive! (My bottle is 1963 of 2400 bottles : Batch No.14).As for chewing pencils : I haven´t indulged in this pastime since school days but I don´t remember it as a particularly pleasant experience. For some inexplicable reason you continued until it splintered in your mouth. Oh, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
