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.

Mr. Edcyn

Your recommendation is spot on for Cognac! I once shared such a bottle with  a dear friends when he retired from a corporate position.
I will seek!  Be safe and Thank You

Lately, I discovered a killer weak to enhance bass extension: 25yr old single malt Suntory Yamazaki whisky.OTOH, a glass of Laphroaig with a drop of pure Islay water makes the sound soft, tube-like.Drinking the whole bottle transports you to the musical event infallibly !

A poetic response indeed.  A Hibiki Harmony  lends to the facts!
The Japanese have produced a fine whiskey as well as exquisitely expensive audiophile gear!
Cheers! Stay Healthy!
