I just bought a case of this, plus a bottle for drinking now, before I had ever tasted a sip, solely on the basis of what I had read here and elsewhere. I bought the full case, because I decided I should stock up before it is gone forever.
I have now had a finger or two, and I don't regret making the investment. I find it an exceptionally drinkable whiskey, with its fantastic palate and sublime, superlong finish. I regret that I didn't have the opportunity to try the earlier bottlings, but this one is good enough for me. I get a perverse thrill drinking something that was made when I was only three years old. And it will remain 16 years old forever, while I continue to age.
My question is: How should I store this stuff so that I can stretch out the good times for as long as possible? I'm thinking I want to crack open the last bottle in 30 years or so, when I retire. Should I just keep it in a box in a cool, dry place? Do I need to do anything else to protect it?
Thanks for the input.
