She didnt smash any bottle ,she just pressed a button and a contraption smashed it for her

In the good old days wasn't it Champers on a rope with the bottle released by the Queen and sometimes it didnt smash first or even second time

Euk, it's the only single malt I can't drink, to me it tastes like burnt charcoal and
leaves a horrible taste in my mouth sadly. I had to give a bottle of it away!!!

You and me both, not into those Peaty type of Malts.
I might be wrong but I think if they have white labels they are usually that type Malt.
I'll stick to my Port Cask Glenmorangie

Aaahhh!! Glenmorangie my favourite, I always get a bottle
for fathers day, birthday and Christmas. Luckily we have 9 children (adults now)
so I've usually got a bottle on the go.
Note to Queen:
Don't waste the nectar of the Gods, use that French pop stuff!!
