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!

Wow! Having deliberately avoided developing a taste for scotch that I can't afford, I typically go with a mid grade port to help my less than midgrade system, however briefly, sound simply heavenly.

Please be advised, the "Bose Tube Amp" comment is for attention and theatrics.
I somehow want to incorporate whiskey into an audiophile premise.
I have happily read all the responses and I like the way many of you discribed Hifi with spirits! Thank You

Nice!
