This article is being provided for the reading and posting enjoyment of my fellow FReepers not interested in watching the fibomercial (yes spell check, I am aware that's not a word) tonight.

I retire next year. Someone gave me a bottle of (can’t remember) but it is 38 year old single malt. I will have worked at my job 38 years next December.. Looking forward to that tasting.
Been drinking single malt for 46 years....

"I refuse to be slave to long aging when it comes to creating premium, exciting products," Uh-oh. Sounds like code for, "I'm going to figure out how to mass produce a Scottish whiskey that I can rush to market. Damn the aging."
Won't pass my lips, if that's what he intends to do.

Early congrats on your retirement! If you need someone to help you drink that, I am sure I’ll be free that day.

I’ve some 12 year Glenlivet that outshines 18 year McClellen I have imbibed. Age is not everything with single malt scotch.

I think that 12yo Glenlivet is the most underrated Single Malt out there. There’s always a bottle residing in my cabinet.

Not quite a bourbon ping but, it’s been “whiskyly” quiet lately!

You and I and David Daiches who remarks about 12 yo Glenlivet in his book, “Scotch Whisky: Its Past and Present.”
I fell in love with single malt scotch when I visited The Whisky Shop in Edinburgh in 2004.

Thanks for the article.
12 yr Glenlevit? My local shop keeps me well stocked.
Cheers!

I came back from a vacation in Scotland last year with Glenmorangie 18YO single malt, Laphroaig single malt quarter cask, and Lagavulin single malt 16YO.
I made them last as long as I possibly could but I find my self in a precariously Scotchless state at present. I did ask Santa for a bottle of Glenmorangie for Christmas though.
I wish I could find a cheaper substitute for the good stuff but it's ruined me on bourbon. Don't care for bourbon now without mixing it with a cola.
