Long story short: my parents weren’t drinkers but owned a liquor store. When they sold it they took some of the stock. When they passed in cleaning out the house I came across a bottle of Jack Daniels that had sat for about 47 years. They say alcohol doesn’t age in the bottle, but that was the smoothest drink I ever had. Didn’t drink it in one sitting, mind you, but it didn’t take long
My Dad wasn’t much of a drinker, at least not around us kids anyway.
Someone once gave him, as a gift, a leather covered, velvet lined box housing a bottle of Canadian Masterpiece Canadian blended whisky. I have that bottle, the seal is intact The date on it is 1962.
Even when I could drink, I wasn’t tempted to open it, I’m too much of a collector. I’ll probably give it too my son-in-law one day.
It’s not worth a lot, but it’s an interesting keepsake.
