The 12 is available everywhere, pretty cheap for scotch that isn't blended, and pretty solid. Couldn't hurt to start there. I really like the 14 double oaked too.
This guy whiskeys! Lol, only took 245 likes for someone to ask how the whiskey actually was, ha ha. However, it is the espresso sub. But, it was delicious! I’m not an aficionado by any means, but even I could taste a bump in quality with this one 🤌🤌
Looks good! Well worth persevering through the bottle for the cork at the end, you poor thing. I do have a question though, did you simply press the ends of the needles in? Or pre-drill and then press fit in? Pre-drill and glue? I’m sure I’m over complicating this but I have some 3D printer “drill bits” destined for a champagne cork as my WDT but I’m curious what the standard is for placing the bits.
Used the smallest drill bit in my set and then pressed in. No glue needed. A drill press would be better to ensure perpendicular, but a slight bend at the base of the needle if it’s not quite straight works too.
I tried a tool like that and it wasn't the best. With a homemade tool I find it helps if you pull the needles outward at an angle so that they don't push the grounds around too much
Buying an entire bottle of alcohol just to get the cork to make a WDT tool. Thats dedication
Sigh, if I must drink scotch, so be it ! Op lives a tortured life!!
It had the nicest cork!!!
Looking at prices of some WDT tools - it's not even that expensive :D
Espresso and Whisky lover here mate !
Ah ha! I knew I hung onto my good scotch corks for a reason.
😎
Whisky matured WDT, when you thought you’d seen it all.
I genuinely love this, stealing
same! excited to see two hobbies of mine collide
What kind of needles are those? Where did you get them?
Dry Needling Needles, same needles used for Acupuncture. I’m a Physical Therapist so I have easy access😬
You can also get them on Amazon. Sold as 3D printer nozzle cleaners.
Now I need to buy scotch.
Nice to know I’m not alone. Did the same thing a while back with the top from my Four Roses single barrel
I’ve been wanting to try some of that scotch. From that brand at least, just not sure which one to get.

How was the Vintage Cask, that's the question lol

Where did u get the needles?
Expired Dry Needling needles, same type of needles used for acupuncture. Expired unused ones can’t be used on patients, Physical Therapist here.
I’d be impressed if it were a Blanton apostrophe. Jk nice.
Nice! Got a Laphroaig version last week, myself.
For those with a flair empress gin has a very nice matching cork
Made one from cork n pins used for holding together food grade mesh for baking. Great idea for re purpose cork. Thx
Nice cork
Damn. Now I'll need to empty that bottle of Macallan...
My WDT is made from an Elijah Craig cork 😂
top tier wdt. Only improvement, for me, would be making one out of a cork from an ardbeg bottling.
Ha Just got my acupuncture needles in the post and was thinking of ideas how I’ll put them together. Thanks

Holy shit, I just drank this today at my BILs b-day party. Super smooth scotch!
It is quite good!!
Huh. I always assumed you would insert the needles i to the cork.
Haha i did the same thing!

I just use a paperclip.
