So what exactly is this thing on top of my bottle?

I mean, do they think that will reduce intake? I'm sure most people are half smart and can figure that if it is resulting in a lower flow rate, they can just hold the bottle upside down longer and get the amount they'd originally wanted. Maybe the distillers think folks won't be able to figure out those complicated hydraulic equations? :dunno:
Maybe it's there so the drunks don't lose so much when they knock it flying? Not a good business model, Mr. Liquorman - you want to sell more and that won't help.

Perhaps there is an aeration required in order that the spirit achieves the correct sublimity? Ha.

Well, the main thing is can the device can be removed. Without putting an eye out.
(I'm sure I will feel just like I do whenever I bypass some safety feature) Will report back.

Not sure what that bottle of liquor is but it either an aerator which is beneficial in certain wines and liquors or it is a built in flow regulator that the bars use...you know those things they traditionally stick in the top of bottles?...those regulate a specific oz per second flow so bartenders pour the correct amount into the drinks as the airhead behind the bar counts "one one thousand" while pouring.
 
It's there to make it easier to pour into a shot glass without making a mess with a full bottle. A godsend for those that already had a few. Maybe the Moonshiners had it right? A Mason jar might just be best flow rate for the hardcore folks! ;)
 
We had them in our bar. Makes the customers think the bartender is generous and giving them a long pour....
 
Most common in the larger bottles to keep people from spilling. This is distinct from the pourers that bars use which primarily have a ball bearing in them that seals out the air when the bottle is sitting upright in addition to providing a measured flow rate.
 
Are you sure you aren't trying to chug a bottle of cooking sherry?
 
Most of my liquor in quantities over a a liter come with them as does Galliano. In that case, it comes in a tall tapered bottle. I've been known to splash some when a bit too agressive pouring. Most can be pried off if you're careful. Slide a knife edge between the bottle and gizmo and lift.
I almost never pour into a shot glass. Good scotch goes in a Glencairn glass.
