Alas, the end of my Macallan Urwerk Flask2 story

 
 By: cazalea : September 14th, 2017-17:52
A couple months ago I did a report on my Macallan Urwerk flask, which you can read at the link below: REPORT HERE Today I have bittersweet news to report: the leakage I experienced was (a) not my fault, (b) a terminal condition at this time, (c) I returne...

Unfortunate.

It is a unique and appealing product. I'm sure they will find a manufacturing solution to the issue. Cheers, Filip

That sucks Mike :(

Use the funds to buy more whisky or a nice regular hip flask - AT

I am disappointed the Macalan folks did not offer you an additional liquid peace offering as a sign of good will.

This was a pricey product and since it appears the quality was below par I would have assumed they would handle it better. Pretty poor PR from Macallan and Urwerk in my humble opinion. HAGWE

I'll pour myself a glass of Lagvulin 16

🥃 to sip as I consider whether to agree with your statement. (Interval) I agree. Cazalea ...  

What about a dram for the cat?

It is a sin to drink alone

Spam flavoured macadamia nuts? That is really SOMETHING. Which whisky goes with SPAM ?

I'm sorry to hear about the flask...

I'd recommend one of these bottomless pits which I was given a while ago. As far as flasks go, this holds ample nectar for a few decent rounds of any tipple you fancy; and what's more, it's cheap as chips! ...  

Julian, would this suffice?

I got this as a gift last birthday but never opened it. Perhaps now is the time? Cazalea ...  

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

That needs to be christened for sure! Lol. Perfect!

Classic case of overengineering...

... sorry to read about the problems. Marcus

Thanks, you are exactly right

There were a few other usability flaws, such as the red alloy release pull that required so much effort it broke one's nails or pained one's fingertip, and the sharp-edged, screw-down cap/crown. Or the tiny, illegible print on the flask identifier on the ... 

The only appropriate place for good whisky

1. Yes, it felt good in the hand

 
 By: cazalea : September 23rd, 2017-12:13
2. It was nicely packaged with foam cushions, wooden box, velvet bag, strong outer case, nice user documents. 3. The spring-loaded landing gear were cool and functional. 4. From a foot away or more it was very handsome. 5. Nice casting, polishing, plating... 

In the end how they deal with problem is what counts

Bit of bitter taste can be washed down with some Lagavulin

I had them fixed mine
