12 years or 18 years?

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 !

Mr. Gregm

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!

Way back in the 1980s, I used to enjoy The Macallan 12-year-old Scotch. I had two part-time jobs then, and had promised myself that if the better of the two turned into a full-time gig, I'd celebrate and buy myself a bottle of The Macallan 18. I got the full-time job, got the 18-year-old Scotch, and wouldn't you just know it -- I preferred the 12-year-old. I still drink that from time to time, but haven't had the 18 since. I found the one that had been aged longer to be too smooth, with all the edginess of the younger version -- which I liked -- sanded off, as it were. Just one man's tale.
And I've got a nicer stereo now, too.
