Looking for the ideal gift for someone's 60th birthday? Clearly the perfect present for the whisky enthusiast who is turning Sixty is a bottle of 60 year old whisky. Or maybe you just want to treat yourself!
The age statement on a whisky label tells you the age of the youngest whisky in the bottle. What does this mean? Put simply, a bottle of whisky may contain whiskies matured in a number of different casks for different periods of time. If the label says that the whisky is 60 Years Old (or Sixty Years Old) then, although it may contain older whiskies, you can be certain that none of components are any younger than 60 years.
Once a whisky is bottled it ceases its maturation, unlike wine which continues to age in the bottle, so Sixty year old whisky is frozen in time and will be considered 60 forever.
Currently 3750 whiskies stocked at Hard to Find Whisky including many 60 year old whisky
