PhantomNVD: does the age continue counting when it's sitting in the bottle in your cupboard? if so you'll have a few powerful 25yo in very little time :)

No, it doesn't age in the bottle. It's not like wine.
PhantomNVD:Geektastic:freitasm: We had beer, books, movies, TV, coffee threads. Why not this then?
I bought a bottle of Johnnie Walker XR (aged 21 years) in Sydney yesterday. Very smooth, although quite heavy:
Usually drink Glenlivet or Talisker when out and about but this one is really nice.
I don't drink much at all but I do have a selection of single malt Scotch on hand which I dip into from time to time (some are from my wedding 10 years ago, so I REALLY don't drink much!)
Available to visitors of taste are:
Lagavullin 16 yo
Laphroig Quarter Cask
Glenlivet 18 yo
Balvenie Founders
Bruichladdich 12 yo
Glenfiddich 18 yo
Ardbeg 10 yo
Tamnavulin 12
Dalmore 12
Caol Isla 16 yo
My personal favourites are the peaty Islay malts and the Quarter Cask in particular is an excellent dram when the rain is lashing the windows!

Well, you will get changes, it is being exposed to air and sometimes light. The higher alcohol content will get it stable for longer, and there are less particulates to flocculate out.
Strictly speaking wine is "aged" on wood too. It just ages in the bottle.
And Port, Sherry et al should be drunk within about three months. I lost a quarter bottle of port once, and when I found it six months latter it had gone a bit chunky.

Only if you're intending to use it to wash down a deep-fried Mars Bar.

Your father in law appears to be correct.

Maybe the Auckland GZ IRL might be the appropriate occasion? In the company of like-minded consenting adults and under MF's tutelage
