Broken Cork on Bourbon Bottle

brschoppe posted a topic in Wine Beer Spirits

I was wondering if anyone has experience having a cork break off in a bottle of Whiskey while opening it? Unlike a bottle of wine, it isn't something I tend to consume in a day or two so it seems like the situation needed to be dealt with. In trying to get the remaining cork out of the bottle, it fell into the bottle. To get it out, I poured the remaining contents into another empty bottle (Four Roses Single Barrel into a empty Woodford Reserve bottle). I then used a wine cork screw to the remaining cork back in. I rinsed the bottle out to try to get any remaining cork pieces out. Then I poured the contents back into the bottle and used the cork stopper from an old vodka bottle. However, the Bourbon now taste a little different. Did I do something bad here? Besides drinking the whole bottle tonight, what should I have done? Can cork effect the taste of Whiskey/Bourbon?
