I used to drink Scotch with an ice cube or two.
I'll probably try that first.

This is the other tomatin i have; unopened...
Tomatin 11yo 2008 MoM Bottling Note
Master of Malt exclusive!
Check it out, Master of Malt (yep, us!) has got a single cask Tomatin all its own! The single malt was distilled on 16 January 2008, and left in a single first-fill bourbon cask for over a decade. At 11 years old, the Highlander was bottled on 9 September 2019, with a release of 234 limited bottles at 60% ABV. This is a wonderfully honeyed affair.
also have 2/3 s a bottle of this which for a fairly cheap no age statement is nice

Christmas is the best time in the U.S./ California to buy a nice bottle, the sales and selection start getting better mid November just before Thanksgiving and by Dec 40% to 50% off!
Even really good stuff is priced to sell .Because retailers have to pay tax on what ever doesn't sell by January 1.
It is also better to buy in Nevada and drive it home to California as there is no taxes.
The bottles you are showing now are Christmas bottles here.

Glengoyne, Glenfarclas, Glendronach for sherried are always good.. Older ones pref if you see them.
Other distilleries to watch for are likes of Edradour, Glenglassach, Glen Grant, Springbank, Deanston, Hazelburn.. Wolfburn are back so stuff is still young but worth the finding too. Dalmore 15 Yr old is a cracker too

I have been reading a bottle of whiskey needs to be consumed with in 4 months of opening it or it looses its flavor.
Is that B.S. ? Because Grant drinks a different drop each night.
You either have 50 open bottles or a really bad liver.
Hoping it's not the latter as I have been there 4 years ago.
So I am taking it easy. 2 ounces twice a week.
I keep mine in a dark pantry and our house is on the cool side of the thermostat.
Sometimes 3 nights if I have company.

Depends on storage and age really. Older whiskies won't react to air very much while younger ones will. Cool and in lowish light a 10yr old will be fine for a few years OK. A 20 Yr old will last a lot longer. They won't go off, but at worst might change a little. Not nessesarilly for worse, just different

Grant

So, I shouldn't stress over anything in a cool dark pantry for at least a year.
My Step dad used to only buy 1.75 liter bottles of reasonably priced booze as he always offered drinks to everyone.
Thanksgiving dinner we had well over 80 people for dinner they would have gallon bottles of Gallow wine on the tables ,2 big turkeys made in Mom's double ovens.
They would go through wine,beer and mixed drinks till nearly midnight and drive home with one eye closed. My Mom had 7 brother and sisters alone,in-laws kids ,her Mom and Dad then me my brothers and sisters their kids and Toms Mother and Father . That small cabinet had constant rotation. He always had a drink and a cigar going. My Moms family all built houses on the same street less than a mile from us. So someone was always stopping by for a drink. This is the exact opposite of our house.We are never home as Conner plays Baseball , BMX racing or Basketball all year but when parents or coaches come by it's nice to have a few open bottles to choose from.
Covid has slowed our roll but soon Baseball may reopen. And getting together for a drink is part of the culture.
