Starting out with the consumer brand for common type of spirits, whisky, single malt, bourbon, brandy, cognac, vodka, rum, tequila and gin. Collection of 80 plus bottles of spirit hidden in secret stash from wife. Prefer single malt, blended and vodka, on the rock mostly.

All the spirits were bought from overseas duty free shops. Bought a duty free JW double black from KKIA and it taste very different from the one bought overseas. Never bought anything from Malaysia's airport any more...

Vodka on the rocks ? hmm.gif I just leave my bottle in the freezer compartment and drink it like the Russians ... straight ! laugh.gif

I personally wouldn't get duty free from China/African airports but Malaysia is fine. Could have just been improper storage (left a box undersun, stuck in container etc). A day or two in a decanter would put it right back into taste smile.gif

IF you don't have a decanter, try splitting the whiskey into 2 bottle and put the caps back on. Taste the magic after a week.

I can't take neat Vodka, throat feels funny, so I need the rocks hehe. No problem with neat whisky, cognac etc though.

I getting those tax free stuff from Singapore. Wife always follow on holiday so no alcohol from other holiday airports.

Whisky doesn't age no more after bottle? Decanter for?

I'm no expert but I'm told the "aging" that matters stops after the whisky is out of its barrel.

Decanter to let your drink aerate. Not every type of wine/liquor benefits from it though, so best to pour yourself a glass but leave it to stand uncovered for an hour. If you like the taste after, then time to go decanter shopping !
