Decanting recommendation

Post by SCP »

Hi all,
I will be opening 2 bottles of T85 and 1 of TTF86 this weekend to share with some suitably aged friends. Any recommendations on decanting time for these?
Thanks!

The one bottle of TTF I have opened was 1999 I think, and it could have easily coped with a 7 or 8 hour decant. If it were me I'd give it at least 4 hours. And 7+ for the T85.

Thanks both! I think then a breakfast decant for mid-afternoon consumption.

I self-identify as being born in 1985. Which, nowadays, is enough.
