I got this from the whisky dictionary years ago. Get the juice below the shoulder and let it sit for a Couple of weeks. Then drink again to get a full picture. You get the neck pour out of the way. Also this can lead to more content. Do an initial review then do a long term follow up.
@@TheReal_DeanD Yes, the whiskey changes the more it is exposed to air, specifically the alcohol evaporates faster than the water, leading to a lower proof & higher water to alcohol concentration than it was, when originally opened. If you don't like the neck pour just add water to your glass and it will be the same thing as if you waited for the alcohol to evaporate (aka reduce proof). I wouldn't add water to the bottle, just to each individual glass you're drinking.
Couldn’t agree more! I tell everyone I drink with about this because it has such a unique place in the market as cask strength Canadian whiskey… that is actually very good. Each batch is a bit different but all incredibly good for a sub-80 and sometimes sub-70 cost. For goodness sake, please do not drink the regular Alberta premium. That stuff is quite bad, but just aging it up and at cask strength it is amazing.
So ur saying Blanton's is worth more than $60? The grocery store here has them out now for $59.98 & they still have some after a week. Don't want to drink it for $60, but maybe I should buy them all to trade for whiskey I like more & can not find?
Preferences definitely change with time. Besides that some bottles do need time to be open. I had one bottle that was a 75 score for the first half of the bottle. The second half of the bottle was so much better. I’d score it at least a 90
