12 years or 18 years?


Your experiences please..
When I listen to my state of the art 2.1  Bose tube amp system, I drink a 12 year old single malt whiskey. The sound is warm and smooth. When I switch to an 18 year old single malt, the sound is smokey and woody.
Your thoughts and recommendations on a warm  and  smooth 18 year old single malt whiskey.
TIA for entertaining my question. Stay Healthy and long live HiFi!

Try Delamain Cognac,  I'm too poor to buy anything more than their bargain basement Pale and Dry but it's still in the Hundred Dollar range.  Utter luxury.  Sweet, rich and complex, with a long, long finish.  It demands to be drunk slowly.
Before I got derailed onto high-end Cognac & Armagnac I was into single-malts.  Talisker is a heck of a good whisky, and so is Laphroaig.  I remember being at a bar in Edinburgh Scotland.  The wizened old Scot beside me ordered me to try a Dufftown.  He pronounced it "Dooif Tune."  Yeah, a noble brew.  All these spirits have plenty of character.  Flat frequency response?  Nay, me laddies.  But imaging in spades.
Hey guys, I currently have a Balvenie 12 year old in the liquor cabinet, too.  It distresses me to say, though, that it's just the tiniest bit generic for me tastes.
