The other two bottles are for 20+ years down the road, and as you say one bottle may well be gifted to my daughter. Cheers!

That said, a couple of hours to let some of the alcohol burn off would be a minimum, and longer won't hurt anything. You might also take a sip or two on opening so you've got a baseline for comparison. It will change over a few days. Enjoy.
