Neat coincidence :
-40 F = -40 C
Whiskey and other spirits don’t change after bottling so further aging
Is a waste of time.

Recalling that -40F = -40C, and noting that -32C is 8C warmer than that, and that a difference of 8C means a difference of 8*9/5 F = 72/5 F = 14.4F, we have -32C = -25.6F

Scotch Whiskey tastes very VERY bad no matter how old or expensive it is. I'm with you. Give me a good American bourbon - Bookers or Knob Creek, at least; even plain old Jim Beam over any scotch.

A great, great book, if you like reading about adventures of endurance and derring-do.

...Mackinlay’s Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky...
Phenol and related phenolic compounds show up in Scotch whiskies, referred to “peaty,”
Highland Single malts are not described as peaty, generally. But to protect the rest of you from that licorice crap, I am willing to “take one for the team”.
Send me a case of it, and I will thoroughly test it, and tell you if it is too “peaty”. If it is, I will dispose of the rest of it for you all.

Temp
C = (Temp
F - 32) * .625
TempF = TempC * 1.8 + 32

Typos galore, sorry (grrrr!)
Tc = (Tf - 32) * 5/9
Tf = (Tc * 9/5) + 32
(mutters at self...)

You don’t need to remember the formula.
If you know that water freezes at 32 F, or at 0 C
And boils at 212 F, or 100 C
Then you can immediately note that 30 to 212 F = 0 to 100 C
So 1 C = 1.8 F
It should be obvious to the casual observer, that the starting points are not the same - so,
Deg F = (1.8)Deg C +32
