Beverages/Dunhill Old Master Scotch Whiskey

Question
I have a bottle of Dunhill Old Master with a Cellar Masters Number of G 27363.
Is there a way to determine what year this was bottled and is it better to enjoy it
or let it age longer. Thanks?
Hi Timothy
Distilled spirits are so high in alcohol that they don't really change in the bottle the way some fine wines do. Aging in the barrel makes a big difference, but not in the bottle.
Which is to say that this will pretty much taste the same whenever you open it--today, or ten years from now.
