Looking For A Whiskey That Will Last 21 Years
 
Hi,
I would like to buy a good bottle of Irish whiskey for my god daughter to have on her 21 st birthday. She is 6 months old now. Any suggestions on a brand?
Thank you!
Tracy

21year old bushmills Irish whiskey
 
Bushmills 21 year single malt – A limited number of 21 year bottles are made each year, and are matured in three different types of casks: first in American bourbon barrels and then in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Together it will total 19 years in these casks, after which it may lie in Madeira drums for a further two years until bottling.

This is an Irish whiskey I'd look at that if I was you.

Congratulation I'm sure she will love drinking it with you on her 21st.

Thank you! I don't know much about whiskey,
I'm trying to learn!

I'm far from an expert but for Irish whisky my favourite is the bushmills range.
Can't go wrong.

I would go to a local place that has a good selection and try a few.. If your going to take a bottle and store it for 21 years I would get something pretty good maybe even harder to find myself.. Something special about opening a bottle a long time after they stop making it:) If its just a standard whiskey.. its less fun when 21 years from now I can go buy the same bottle down the street:)
