The whiskeys in 12 Year Old Special Reserve and the 10 Year Old Reserve are laid down for much longer – a minimum of 12 years. The whiskeys in the standard blend are between 4 and 7 years old. This adds to the cost because every year about 2% of the whiskey is lost in evaporation – “The Angel’s Share” so, the longer the whiskey is left, the more that goes to The Angel’s Share.
