A Laphroaig Quarter Cask Base: the Gentleman's Choice
<Drum roll> the Laphroaig Quarter Cask!
Now, €45 for a single base may seem a bit steep, but it is solid metal and comes with a free Scottish Whisky.
After removing the whisky from the container, you can start removing the base from its packaging. I found a simple pair of scissors very effective for this task.
Look at her: if that’s not a perfect fit, I don’t know what is. The base needed a bit of cleaning, though, as there is still some cardboard stuck in the edge. As the cardboard was stuck very tightly into the rim of the base, it needed some soaking in a bath of warm water.
To get out the last bits of cardboard I used an advanced bit of tooling that is also very useful when eating maize on the cob. Consider that tip a gift from me to you ;-*
And there we go: squeaky clean. Next time, we’ll be planting some soil on the base!
