This is a question about a commercially available Whiskey so I hope it doesn't break the forum rules, apologies if it does.
Quite a few years ago I was given a couple of bottles of Dungourney 1964 Irish Whiskey by my employer as an xmas present. Sadly she passed away about 14 yrs ago. Apparently they are quite rare and expensive. I've never opened them, heck they're older than me and quite sentimental.
So, to my question. One bottle is crystal clear, while the other has what I can only describe as a thin layer of sediment on the bottom. If you jiggle the bottle it forms a sort of cloud in the whiskey. Anyone know what causes this and is it still drinkable? Not that I'm going to open it. The bottles have corks in them, could this be the reason?
Thanks
