If you like a non/ little peated whisky, sweet but not to sweet, raisins, honeycomb, oak, full soft and round flavour you defenitly should try this one, it's very nice.
....it depends on 3 to 5 topics you should consider. 1. put the bottle upright 2. seal the cork additional with parafilm tape very close. ( seal it extra ....however ) 3. the whisky should have „min. 43 %.....better 46% !! ...because the bottle will lose a bit alcohol % over the decades. 4. the storing place/shelf (ore the BOX) of the bottle should be dark enough. 5. the temperature in the room should be as constant as possible. That’s it.....40 to 60 years....however ....should never be a problem now !✔️ And now....in any way....Good Luck😁
Yes. But not if the cork's seal is maintained. Natural corks will eventually lose their seal and disintegrate. (It's not unusual when you open a very old bottle for the cork to just crumble.) When they lose their integrity ambient air may enter the bottle. Then the whisk(e)y will decline.
One thing alluded to but not specifically mentioned, keep it out of the light. I always see these amazing collections on custom shelving with bright lights all over the place pointing at the bottles. If you're stowing bottles away for a few years, keep them in the dark. If you open a bottle and drink it over 2 months to a year or so, (if it's not an extremely rare well-aged [ie. more than 18 years]) then it's really no problem to be less protective of it, you can have it in a glass whisky cabinet or however you like (being exposed to ambient light) but never shine bright lights on your collection or store it in a windowsill with sunlight. It'll ruin it!
I'm drinking this right now as I watch this video. I like to drink my whiskey with honey. A bit of honey on your tounge and a sip of whiskey. Ahh life is good.
