George Clooney, Aged Like a Fine Wine

I’ve never understood the phrase ‘aged like a fine wine’. You age wine for 5 to 10 years and it’s a fine wine. For whisky, 10 years is just getting started.

The oldest bottle of whisky is Glenavon Special Liqueur. Which was aged for 7 years. Not as long as you might think, what with it being less than 10. But those 7 years were between 1851-1858, making that bottle 166 years old. The distillery at Ball-in-dall-och in Moray stopped making whisky in the late 1850’s so this was one of the last ever bottled. Now, would I drink a 166 year old bottle?
