Send me one or two. I’ll check them out!

Somehow I can’t help but think that it’s got to be worth more than several hundred dollars, not necessarily from a liquor perspective, but as an antique, and as an historical artifact.

I used to collect and sell that stuff when I was a kid.
you get the old court records to find out where the old farm dumps were and you dig there.

One of my friends turned up a whiskey bottle from like 1798

Whisky; letting white people dance and ugly people procreate since 1405. I believe I’ll have a Whisky bin Laden.

Wow! these are full? with paper labels intact?

I am not knowledgeable about alcohol but it seems very unlikely that it would be still drinkable.

Bourbon Ping!

Should we watch the auction sites?

[warsaw44]

years ago I helped a man liquidate an estate on Long Island. The remaining direct family member took me to the cellar to show me the collection of whiskey while he was searching for something or other ( this was 25 years ago ).

Roughly 200 bottles all just pre Civil War. I could not believe it and all stored sideways. Just amazing. Never found out what happened to it and the man I worked for had no real interest in making an offer.

But while in that line of work I often managed to walk away with some very old cognacs and armagnacs. Man I worked for had no interest in the least and it was going to end up on the dumpster anyway. The cognacs were just out of this world. But if the bottle was not consumed in one evening the next day the remaining contents would be cloudy and the taste would be quite different.

...the bottles are likely worth several hundred dollars each, and possibly more...Rick Harrison would give him two dollars each 'cause they're so rare it's impossible to set a fair price on 'em - or else 'cause there's more than one and they aren't really that rare after all......

Old Crow has always been a cheap bourbon drunk by poor alcoholics. Fite should auction it in one lot so no one will know it’s crap.

[wjcsux]

For the truly discriminating taste!

[Daffynition]

If out of the cask...hardly a treasure.
