How to date a bottle of Jack Daniels

[TALONSKY 0]

I need a hand trying to figure out a way to date a bottle of Jack Daniels. I received it 12 years ago from an Uncle who told me he had bought it 9 or 10 years prior and just never had the desire to drink it. I have been saving it for a special occasion and have found one. I just bought my first house (1 mile from my home DZ).
Anyway, before I crack it open with my close friends I would love to beable to know how old it really is.
Help Please

Well... i guess if you talk to it really nicely, take it out for dinner and a movie, and then maybe to a quite club afterwards.... It MIGHT consider that potential for a second date. On the other hand, you might have better luck just getting her liquired up and just taking advantage of her.....
OH.... you mean THAT type of dating..... Just drink it and be happy that it is at least 12 years old. I want to touch the sky, I want to fly so high ~ Sonique

I think if you turn it up and empty the bottle you'll see God...Er..Uhhh...I mean the serial number on the bottom of the bottle...."I got some beers....Let's Drink em!!!"

Most of the time you can get away with dinner and a movie sometimes though you have to treat that special one real slick like...You know you have to caress its curves and slowly pour it out. Carefull on making a mess you might get to excited and before you know it you wont be able to control your legs.
Just tryin to look out for ya man Good luck on the date

How many more "going on a date with the bottle" jokes will there be?
0-5
6-10
11-15
16-20
more than 20
What? Boobies?
I don't care, as long as they share the bottle of Jack with me

Hey Kirk,
even if you do find out what vintage that bottle is, will it really matter when you wake up on the floor around noon tomorrow to find it empty?

Hey, I've been desperate enough to take a bottle of JD on a date before........but the bottle never lasted long enough for there to be a second date..

Thanks for the input. I just thought it would be a cool factoid to know. Anyways I see the point you all are making so I will just drink it and be happy
Thanks

Sorry to burst your bubble, but once its bottled, spirits no longer age. Even single malt scotch: a 12 year old that has been sitting in you bar for 10 years is still a 12 year.
That being said, it may have sentimental value, and you may have grown attached to it, but better hurry, coz it will be hard to ask her for a date if you're friends!

You're on the right track there.
However, I'd rather say "once bottled, whisk(e)y no longer matures." If you keep a bottle of 16YO around for 10 years, of course it'll be 26 years old. But it won't have changed a damn since then and even after those 10 years, it'll still taste like 16YO.
