Alright, really going deep there on this one. LOL!

I like the journal idea better, in the end.

Look at this link, they have beautiful journals, expensive but worthwhile for a time capsule.

I recently opened McClelland 100 gr. tins from 1986 and 1991. Solid. Storage conditions are the read variable. They can rust from moisture and condensation just like any other metal tin. Inside is out of your control. I’ve opened a whole bunch of McClelland tins over the last 30 plus years. Never a problem but have seen the very beginning of possible problems. All in all, you’re pretty safe with storing this maker for a long time. In my experience.

Never opened up any McC cans that hasn't been wonderful

This is a wonderful idea. My kids are adults now; wish I'd thought of doing something like this 30 years ago.

At the rate prices are already skyrocketing, I might as well just put aside 5 tins of 40th and it'll pay for college!

:rofl:

A chap who lives in the manor house up the road bought his first born son a brand new Rolls Royce. He had it delivered and instructed the gardener to brick up the barn where it was carefully placed.
On his 21st birthday the father just gave the son a hammer and chisel! True story is that.

"Damn, Dad; this car's two decades old. Whot th' hell??"

It certainly beats a tin of tobacco.........
"Hey Dad, why did you give me a tin of tobacco....isn't that something folks did in the olden days?"

LOL! I just ordered an 8oz tin of Oxford Flake. Thinking of maybe using this as the one... nice amount and from LJP nonetheless.

My dad gave me a 1970 Ford Maverick and I wrecked it within 6 months. I wonder how the Rolls Royce made out.

-Interesting to know re: bourbon.... I always thought it at least smooths out more over time.

Anyhow, I'll still put some in there, lol.

Not in my experience - there are a few craft distilleries that sell un-aged bourbon which you can then age in your own micro-barrel. That would be awesome to be able to crack open a 21 year old bourbon.
