As the air inside the sealed bottle is heated, it will expand and increase in pressure. When the air is allowed to cool, it will contract and decrease in pressure. This change in pressure can potentially cause the bottle to deform or even explode if the pressure builds up too much.
Heating the air in a closed bottle will increase the temperature of the air, causing the air molecules to move faster and exert more pressure on the walls of the bottle. This increased pressure can lead to the bottle expanding or potentially even bursting if the pressure becomes too high.
It will last indefinitely, but the taste will be ruined within months or weeks even, especially in hot weather. It's the exposure to the air in the bottle that does it, so transfer leftover whisky to smaller bottles so that they are full. Better still, drink it.
It really depends on how it was kept, which method it was sealed, the age of it, so forth. Whiskey fortunately (or unfortunately...) does not age in a bottle. For example, if a properly sealed bottle produced in the 30's was opened today, it would look and taste exactly the same way it did when it was sealed. So, if you happen to have a properly sealed bottle; no evaporation, tax seal intact and unsevered, and no debris in the bottle, it should be fine to consume.HOWEVER! It is in my opinion that you should take extreme precautions when attempting to do so. If the bottle was kept by a relative, or a person whom you happen to know, you should be safe. Be weary of buying online, as quite a few scam artists have cropped up recently buying old spirit bottles with tax seals intact, filling them with who knows what (possibly newer whiskey), and taping or gluing the seal back together. I myself have had the misfortune of buying a 1963 bottle of Seagrams VO, only to find it had the seal split, and Canadian Club poured in inlew of the proper contents. Thankfully it only cost $40, but things could have been worse....
It would not be 'Scotch' whiskey if made outside Scotland would it ? Many countries make whiskey, U.S.A. (bourbon), Canada, Japan, India, Taiwan, Ireland (whiskey), Wales and even England.
Air inside the bottle expands when the bottle is heated. Some of it leaves the bottle until the pressure of the heated air remaining in the bottle equals the pressure of the air in the room. The balloon is then placed over the neck of the bottle and prevents any more air from entering or leaving the bottle. The air inside the bottle cools to the temperature of the ice water. The cooler air inside the bottle takes less space (volume) than it did when hot, so it sucks the balloon inside the neck of the bottle. Air pressure inside the bottle causes the balloon to stretch and enlarge until the air pressure inside the bottle, including the air in the balloon, has the same pressure as the air in the room.
Acetone evaporates as a gas because its molecules have enough kinetic energy to escape from the liquid phase and enter the gas phase. Since acetone has a relatively low boiling point, it evaporates easily at room temperature, even in an open bottle or container.
The only distilled spirit that possibly could is whiskey, but even that is highly unlikely.
How can you compare a case of beer with a bottle of whiskey? It is the sort of comparison that would say that a glass of milk is equal to approx 40 bananas because they contain the same amount of calcium. Anyway, a case of beer is not a standard measure. Both drinks can vary quite significantly in their alcohol content. So you cannot even compare their alcohol content.
Yes it can if you puncture the bottle even if there is nothing in it the pressure will cause the bottle to explode
The specific gravity of whiskey is less than water (.924-.947), so the volume of whiskey itself would float in water. Given that the barrel is made of wood (and should float by itself), a sealed barrel full of whiskey should float.
I haven't heard about Old Overcoat since the early 60s. I'm not sure this would even be worth anything to a frat brother having DT's from withdrawal.
