There's another way of preserving your whiskies. By spraying gasses in it that are heavier than oxigen like for instance nitrogen, argon or CO2. So there's no air that come near to the content of the bottle. Private reserve is a company that makes cans with a combination of those in it! You can check out their website if you want.
Cool Im gonna have to get that air pump cause my captain morgan jug has less than half of its rum in the bottle. Plus I can allways used smaller bottles. Great vid
I took your advice went into a posh bar on my own with my head clear & had a wee dram of Aberfeldy 21 year old with a glass of water on the side. The smoothness of the stuff was worth the purchase alone & it was the best half hour in a pub or bar I have ever spent & that includes the money as well!
Great insight into old whiskies I've only been a blended man for about a year, but I am looking to get into single malts just have trouble making my mind up. What single malt do you recommend for my green pallet and?. Thanx for the vids Ralfy!
Really useful! I just bought my first old whisky: 1982 Clynelish (mmmmm). I left it 30 mins in the glass (improved), but found after an hour, it was considerably better. One quick question: when leaving it for that length of time, should I put the glass cover on the glass or leave it off? Surely it would breathe better with it off?
Ralfy, I take issue with your suggestion to pull a vacuum on a bottle of whisky. Alcohol and water are both volatile liquids, and removing atmospheric pressure from the bottle will encourage you to lose both, but alcohol will preferentially be lost....just as though it were the angel's share. If you truly wish to control the oxidation of your whisky without the simple smaller bottle fix, you'll need to replace the oxygen with inert gas. CO2 imparts fizziness; nitrogen would be better.
@ralfystuff Good to know I was about to ask this question myself since I have many bottles opened. Think I'll go simple and use a lighter. Thanks again ralfy.
I very agree--- before you go and buy an expensive bottle of whisky be sure you spend time with the band's younger cheaper bottles... then when you find the brand you like -- buy the old expensive one!

Nicely done. My plan is to go to a Scotch bar and try a few there to best determine if I want to buy a bottle to have at home.

How can you tell if it goes bad? Are there a few warning signs?

@ralfystuff Cheers Ralfy! I'll give it a go next time I drink it...
YES-- don't share special whisky with someone unless they UNDERSTAND!!!
The best way to have truly old and special whisky's....... Mix them with store brand Coke
What the hell is the right whisky?
I can't for the life of me understand what hell he's saying with that accent.
What whisky is that on the right?
