If U Find an Unopened Bottle Of Scotch from the Late 60's/early 70's

[seafoamer]

Is it safe to drink that mofo?

[Turbozag]

No, better send it to me for disposal....

[scottlr]

Ah, you beat me to it! Drink that mofo! And report back. What kind is it?

[seafoamer]

It's a Dewar's 12 ancestor blended scotch whiskey. & it's got some whiteish particles floatin' in it.

[shuie]

Distilled spirits do not age after they have been removed from the barrel and bottled. As long as it hasn't been stored in sunlight, it should taste like it would have the day it came out of the barrel.

Not a super premium. I'd probably strain the particles at least.

[seafoamer]

Thanks guys! I opened it up & it's pretty good. Not as smooth as most single malts I've had, but not bad at all.

+1. Make sure you use a dirty sock....

A friend found an old decanter of some premium jack daniels stuff from about 25 years ago.( factory decanter still sealed ) and it was just as good as new ! ( it's true it doesn't age in the bottle , but i swear the angel's share does seem to mellow the flavor out , or maybe it's all in the mind!)
I would filter any little sediement though. Smell it , if it smells fine it probably is !

Now your qualified to post a "must be the scotch talking" thread that are so popular here at TGP

Cheers!

Preferably after you walk through the moss on your roof in the spring time. As much as I love whiskey I hate whisky.

If it's Glenlivet or Glennfidditch, yes. If not, pour it out.

I went to a bar in Houston that had a 1971 Macallan single malt - $100 a shot!
It was my birthday and my buddy put it on his company credit card...

best thing I ever put in my mouth.

So I guess that means you were lying to me about paris then ? :p

I'd rather have the Dewars.

it's funny..

some people really love single malt and swear by it

and others prefer blended.

That's what she said.

I worked in a bar for a while and we sold drinks that were upwards of $500 (different cognacs and such). One fellas buys a snifter of $500 stuff for himself and then a sambuca for his wife. I watched him take it back to his table, get distracted, pick up the Sambuca and instead of handing it to his wife, pouring it in his snifter of cognac before I could get over there to stop him. The look on his face one he tasted and then realized what he did was absolutely priceless.

I had a bottle of Jameson my neighbor found when he was cleaning up his basement. It was an unopened pre-US Surgeon warning label bottle.

I made that thing last for about 7 years. Only had a shot on very special occasions. Finished it this summer.

Oh, I prefer single malt - just not those two ladies' whiskies.

Funny how coincidental this thread is...

Long story short, I just sort of inherited a bottle of
Adelphi Distillery - BRUICHLADDICH 1970
30 Year Old ISLAY - 49.4% Vol.
1 of 237 bottles from Cask N° 5076
Bottled in 2000

I'm not used to these sort of high end whiskeys...I'm normally a Chivas 12/18 year, Macallen, Black Label sort... So I honestly don't even know what I have. But I'm keeping it for a special occasion! I just emailed Adelphi, and they gave me some background info, but I'm still getting my head around it.

distilled.
drink up and do it with a friend damnit!
