It is my understanding that whisky does not age once bottled. You use the term "rest", and suggest laying up stocks of a bottled single malt to 'rest' for 18 years. Other than buying a vintage that will be very scarce in 18 years, what is the purpose of buying a case of 18yr Glenlivet now, vs. buying a case of 18yr Glenlivet in eighteen years? Other than batch consistency, I would expect the two whiskies to be comparable, if not identical.
