shakyman - Welcome to GJ

I have been given a few bottles of scotch from your side of the pond recently.

The Macallan 18, The Glenlivet 21 - what is with all the numbers after the name, and what do the numbers mean?

Do ya think the stuff any good? Is still safe to drink?

 

[shakyman]

thank,s for the warm welcomes...ahhh whisky..the water of life!..the numbers relate to the years spent maturing in the casks..the older the more complex flavours..(certainly more expensive anyway!)..safe to drink..yes !!(in moderation)..

 

[Garage Dog]

Good to know - "the water of life" with complex flavors - I'm going to have to try this old scotch whiskey stuff and give you a report back if it's any good...

Don't worry, I'll be careful

 

[shakyman]

give it a try! i like to add a splash(not too much)water..some like ice(scotch on the rocks)..dont matter just enjoy btw scottish whisky is spelt without an ,e....every other country as far as i know use an e..common way to spot counterfiet!...they usually get it wrong...!
