Looking up reviews for some blended whiskey I have ordered that is made by Ballantine's I stumbled upon a 200cl bottle of 'Ballantine's Finest Scotch Whisky' that was bottled in the 1970's. Now these bottles are priced at £225 which is quite pricey in my book but my question is this. If Scotch stops ageing once out of the barrell then how come such a lofty pricetag?
To my mind, whisky surely must age even once bottled simply due to the passing of time but I have read and been told this is not the case.
So whisky/whiskey experts, which is it to be....bottle ageing 'yes' or bottle ageing 'no'?
