Maybe if left to there own vices, they'll turn my beam into woodford.

I have noticed the stopper is occasionally harder to pull out, so I'm leaning toward this.

I guess I'll have to get a few more bottles to expiriment.

In the 1800s absolutely, but since the discontinuation of leaded products, significantly heavy glass with tin, aluminum, titanium or other metals added for strength and sheen has been deemed crystal, with the previous material being designated as leaded crystal.

I'm an avid antique collector and have needed to know the difference for several years.

If you reside in the EU or Britain however, disregard those statements, as they still have legal definitions of crystal on the books.

Edit: I meant UK, not EU, my bad.

Edit again: it is actually the EU. American schools, man.

True, but if it helps it was an error of editing my post out of order, not of mistaken grammar

And they also add condensation to the inside of the bottle?

It was pretty clever to use a spray bottle to add condensation to the inside of the bottle. I would of gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky lemmings.

I had considered that I wouldn't see condensation from alcohol evaporating, but I only noticed the level visibly dropping with Jim beam specifically.

It could be as simple as the difference in color absorbing more heat from light, I suppose.

No lead. It's not great quality or antique, I just liked the shape.

Between 65 and 74

No roommates, my partner doesn't drink, and I can see condensation in the container.
