Davey Boy 2.0 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 it still kills me that Lagavulin was $54 just a few short years ago and now it's $100Also i read recently that a scotch distributor is pulling out of Canada coz the asian market is more lucrative. Maybe DaveO sent me that linnk... actually here it is:http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=eec64570-e95d-437a-ac9c-d4abded08b78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I assume when the Scotch age on the bottle is the amount of time it spent in the barrell....while shelf life doesn't mean a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I assume when the Scotch age on the bottle is the amount of time it spent in the barrell....while shelf life doesn't mean a thing?Correct. Unlike wine, spirits (whiskies, brandies, etc.; stuff that's been through a still) stop aging when they're bottled. (I sometimes wonder if leaving a half-empty bottle of Scotch on the shelf, even when sealed properly, might result in the taste getting degraded due to oxidation from the half-bottle of air on top of it, but that's not the same kind of change you get from the usual way whisky is aged.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well...I think I'll be using them as door prizes at my brother's wedding reception. (he had a destination wedding, and no stag.) Maybe make him a couple of bucks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
