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!

For health reasons, I gave up hard liquor almost 20 yrs ago. However, before that, a glass of whisky was my usual listening companion. It certainly reduced the urge to tweak and increased the urge to relax and listen.

The other option I liked was brandy: cognac, armagnac, or calvados. (My favorite was an aged calvados.)

For mental health reasons I gave up Bose 20 years ago...
Single malts on the other hand are great.  Got some fun ones here:  Brenne, Sheep Dip, Nikka, Balcones and every Glenmorangie I can find just to start the list.

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.
