[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 442438, member: 1387"] A good general rule of thumb, is to give Lat blends a minimum of 2 years aging time, and Virginia blends 5 years. Some folks feel that Virginias continue to get better and better, and that Lat blends tend to start losing their body at the 10 year mark. However, aging time is relevant to an individual persons palate. Best thing to do is try to put a little age on your Lat blends, a little more on the Ginnys, and beyond that not obsess to much over optimum aging. If you have a favorite blend, you might want to put forth the effort to experiment with it. Some folks find they prefer a particular Scotch at a younger age. Balvenie Doublewood 12 is a classic example. Too much age can sometimes be detrimental, depending on your palate. [/QUOTE]
