Dispensing closure having flow modulator and syneresis capture

A dispensing closure for a container for dispensing a viscous liquid contained therein, said dispensing closure comprising:

• a closure body adapted to be mounted on the container, the closure body having an upper wall, a skirt depending downwardly from said upper wall, and a dispensing orifice extending through said upper wall;
• a tubular, flow modulating wall structure depending downwardly from said upper wall of said closure body and surrounding said dispensing orifice;
• and
• a syneresis capturing wall structure depending downwardly from the upper wall of said closure body and surrounding said flow modulating wall structure,
• said syneresis capturing wall structure comprises a plurality of walls forming a honeycomb lattice structure,
• said syneresis capturing wall structure substantially reducing flow of a syneresis fluid of said viscous liquid into said flow modulating wall structure during dispensing,
• said tubular flow modulating wall structure being configured and arranged to modulate the flow of a viscous liquid through said dispensing orifice,
• said tubular flow modulating wall structure including at least one V-shaped capillary slot formed therein,
• said at least one V-shaped capillary slot substantially reducing the formation of a meniscus in a volume of liquid flowing within said flow modulating wall structure.
