"Ageing like whiskey."

Similar to the famous term "Ageing like fine wine," the phrase is used to suggest that a person improves with age, becoming more desirable and valuable over time, much like how high-quality whiskey develops richer character and value as it ages.

It's a metaphor for graceful ageing, suggesting a positive transformation from sharp youth to mellow maturity, adding layers of personality and a sense of being aged to perfection.

While his comments seemingly failed to reach Zinhle, it certainly did the rounds online as social media users took turns critiquing the meaning and intention behind Siv's statement and whether or not it was a subtle jab at DJ Zinhle.
