Looking for the ideal gift for someone's 53rd birthday? Clearly the perfect present for the whisky enthusiast who is turning Fifty three is a bottle of 53 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 53 Years Old (or Fifty three Years Old) then, although it may contain older whiskies, you can be certain that none of components are any younger than 53 years.
Once a whisky is bottled it ceases its maturation, unlike wine which continues to age in the bottle, so Fifty three year old whisky is frozen in time and will be considered 53 forever.
