Glenfiddich Dilema!!
#11594524 - 12/06/09 06:37 AM (14 years, 2 months ago) |

I have been given three bottles of Glenfiddich Whiskey.
A 12yr, 15yr and an 18yr single malt.
Now I aint much of a whiskey drinker, so which one do you think will not taste like drinking aftershave?
Does the difference in year affect the strength of the taste?
I'm gonna crack one open and try one now but can't decide which!?

i don't really know which one should taste better. i don't know too terribly much about nice scotch whisky. i would suggest you start with the 12 yr though, so that hopefully you can start to acquire a taste and an appreciation of it before cracking into the more expensive stuff.
also, make sure you add a splash of water to release the esthers and open up the bouquet.

OK, done!
This is actually the nicest whiskey I have ever tasted. 
I have not had whiskey in a long time and I usually don't like it at all, but this stuff is smooth!

At what age do they 'go bad'? 
I already opened the 12!

....okay, while i may not know much about scotch, i know enough that an unopened bottle will not "go bad" at any time in the near future. if it's unopened, you can hold onto a bottle for years and experience no degradation in flavor. it takes 6 months AFTER opening a bottle for it to be considered "bad".
if these guys can offer proof otherwise, i'd be interested in seeing this.

in fact, a quick google search indicates that an unopened bottle will not only last a few years, but indefinitely.
in short, they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

People have been shot for less. And rightly so. Glenfiddich is a drink fit for a god.

Well, I should be forgiven as this is my first time trying it.
Usually I don't like whiskey, but as I said this one is guuuuuuuuuuuuud!

How did i mess up your joke? I was more or less pointing that at the fool who seriously had to google if alcohol went bad. Has nothing to do with your joke; i was pointing out the noobs who DIDNT get your joke..
Also; way to go waiting 3 months to reply
