I found an unopened pack of Luckys non filter in my Great Grandpas fishing tackle box about 25 years ago. They must have been 40 years old. The box smelled sooo good that I had to try one. Best smoke I have ever had. It was like a fine fine Scotch whiskey. Took me two years to smoke them but Dam! Glad I didn’t throw them away.
I did some expensive drinking in the late ‘60’s when I was in the military...Some buddies and I drank Mother Goldstein’s Jewish Passover Wine...It was $3.99 a quart....
How much could you have sold them for?
Did they have a green label??? During WWII, Lucky Strike had green labels instead of red...
You’ll to pardon me, but the only whiskey I could understand with coffee would be Irish. I’ve had cognac with coffee and that went well. What I find is as a natural is coffee with dark navy rum, yum. Black coffee, dark rum.
There is only one bottle in my life that I still wish that I had saved. That was a bottle of 16 year old Waterfill and Frazier 110 proof. Found that in the early ‘80s and have not been able to find another since. Smoothest, best drink I’ve ever had.
Oops...The green was taken away during WWII and made white...
Regret is when you wake up and recall that at about 3 in the morning after the 4 of you had finished off all the beer and wine and vodka and that half bottle of Southern Comfort in the house, you were still conscious and remembered that LeNell’s Red Hook Rye you had stashed away in the gun safe.
I bought two bottles.
Gave one to a business associate that saved my life, who is a real whiskey guy.
Next I saw him, I noticed the bottle was still 3/4 full.
He explained that thePappy was very special and they only drank it on special occasions.
He loved it.
Mine is unopened
So, does it taste kinda like spotted owl or not?
No kidding! He could have sold that stupid bottled and used the proceeds to purchase a great deal of slightly lesser stuff.
I first had Blanton’s in the 80’s, although I was a scotch guy, it was pretty damn good.
Coffee and the inexpensive Thai whiskey flavored with opium.
Yeah, the definition of rot gut

It all tastes like rockgut to me.
Agreed.
Wistlepig rye 10 or 15 is fairly tasty.
And I’m also a fan of Wolfburn. I’ve got three bottles/styles. Northland is really nice and smokey. Morven and Langskip are lesser favorites.
I had a friend make a comment about “$200 worth of vomit“ one time. Yeah...Black Velvet would have worked.
I doubt I could have sold them.... this was in 1999. Ebay was a fledgling.
Sounds like she uncorked it years ago and drank it over many years. No $100K bottle involved, at all.
So cool!
