    Is there a preferred bottling date for 3F A&G? Or are they all equally good?

    An employee told me the different bottle days will taste a bit different but I doubt that one is better then the other. I'm letting mine age for a couple of years before trying

    10 December 2015 (375ml) is absolutely phenomenal. Only blend of A&G I've had, but I've had a bunch of different batches of regular Oude Geuze and this one blew them all away.

    I cracked both a 2016-10-20 and a 2016-11-16 bottle (both 750 cl) just the other day to take notes on what they are like right now. Had it been a blind test it would have been hard to tell them apart. I will leave the rest of the bottles for 2-3 years now I think before trying these dates again.

    Not relevant regarding which bottling is best but per Armand you should wait at least a year after the bottling date before opening.
