Crown Royal... (Page 1 of 2)

Open it and take a gulp! Fine whiskey is meant to be drank, not stowed away.
You'll know once you taste it if it warrants savoring over time!

I concur Barbie. Back in the day ( 18 years sober) I would take my whiskey/bourbon on the rocks and just sip whilst listening to music.
So idol, put on your slippers, light a fire, get the dog to lay down, put the easy chair back and enjoy!

Looks like it's beckoning from the cabinet.......

The whisky in an open bottle will oxydize over time (some whiskies actually improve after breathing a bit). Maybe have a dram or two to celebrate your birthday then put it away to help celebrate other occasions (wedding anniversary, your children's graduation, birth of a grandchild, etc.) But I agree, unless it's a rare bottling that may appreciate over time you're better off just to drink and enjoy it.

Slainte Mhath! 

It's open! The wife reckons it's DEFINATELY a whiskey,almost So Co in flavour tho obviously not as sweet,she's having it neat-i got it over ice and it lends a chocolatey warmth in the mouth ,very smooth going down and just the right amount of warmth when settled.....tho that is only the first....

The 2nd was better than the 1st,but that'll do for tonight...got the in-laws over tomorrow and he likes a dram,so,see what he thinks,thanks for your input,cheers!

did that a few times with Tia Maria (yes i know,a girl's drink!) after a day on the sauce at the British Grand Prix,someone said it would be good to settle the stomach after various beers and burgers,my mate and i sat in his car with Genesis on quite loud ,him with a bottle of JD,me Tia,doors open,taking in the events of the day......a queit night it was NOT!   Wasn't ill,tho'....

Drink the whole damn thing in one sitting and we'll talk....hell, maybe we'll sing...
