Looking for the ideal gift for someone's 57th birthday? Clearly the perfect present for the whisky enthusiast who is turning Fifty seven is a bottle of 57 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 57 Years Old (or Fifty seven Years Old) then, although it may contain older whiskies, you can be certain that none of components are any younger than 57 years.
Once a whisky is bottled it ceases its maturation, unlike wine which continues to age in the bottle, so Fifty seven year old whisky is frozen in time and will be considered 57 forever.
Currently 3750 whiskies stocked at Hard to Find Whisky including many 57 Year Old whiskies
