Alcohol baws - lend me your knowledge

I'm a wine collector and did this with my 2. Thankfully both of mine were born in top tier Bordeaux vintages and I bought each a case of first growths. Also bought them some Port & Sauternes; both of which can age longer than them.

My thought was, if they don't want the wine they can sell it and have a nice little stash of cash to do something with.

Its a great idea; I just think it's more meaningful if the booze is the same age as them.

So overpriced for what it is. Find something better.

Speaking of over priced.

Old Forester 1920 >>>>>> Blanton's


The bottle isn't as cool but it's cheaper and better.

Grab a 21yo scotch that's bottled this year. Then you both can share a 21yo scotch on his/her 21st birthday. Here is a list of some great 21yo scotches that don't break the bank.


Glenfarclas 21
Arran 21
Glenallachie 21
Glengoyne 21
Glen Scotia 21
Glendronach 21

i don't really see the point in doing liquor cause it will just be old. Do something that is going to change remarkably over the aging

I would do some wine or champagne

This is a valid point that I considered as well.

The one possible caveat, however, would be to say that unless you can reasonably assure 21 years of basically proper climate control for the wine, it may be just as likely to turn to shite as it will "change remarkably" for the good.

I have one of the original Glenmorangie 12 yo Nectar D' Or bottlings that I will saver for that. Purchased it for $22. I has gone up as high as $90 locally and is now about $60.

Who knows if they will even like drinking scotch, but we will try it anyway.

How much do you want to spend?

Ideally, cheaper than Blanton's. It can be around the $150-$200 range at the most

Any scotch.
