Top Six Uses For Your Old Whisky Bottles
We get it, sometimes it’s hard to accept that a great bottle of whisky is over, and you might not be ready to send it off on its final journey into the recycling bin. But what to do with those leftover whisky bottles?
If you’re going to keep them, why not put them to good use. Below are six ideas to reuse your old bottles. So, pour yourself a dram and prepare to upcycle.
But remember, some of these projects involve heavy-duty power tools, so make sure you’ve got the appropriate safety gear (and some quality instructions) before you go in gung ho.
