Are they still alive?

We are all “alcohol experts” now.

Booze in the old west, from 1870? No thanks. Every student of the old west knows that was hardcore rotgut

Much of the whiskey was locally produced, unaged, and low-quality, with 100-proof grain alcohol often watered down, and often mixed with ingredients like tobacco, red pepper, and molasses to improve flavor or color.

Most of them probably never experienced anything -even close- to what we would recognize as whisky today.

Probably varnish. Just because it was in a booze bottle, doesn’t mean it was booze.

Hard liquor does not age once it leaves the barrel.

“Hey Fred. Piss in this bottle and stick it under the floor boards.. “

For… science purposes!

They could have taken it to a high tech chemical analysis lab...could have determined LOTS of things before Imbibing some unknown fluid...I suppose their next adventure will be eating wild mushrooms...

Alcohol experts drink 150-year-old bottle of booze found in old mining town: ‘You have to try it’

I'm like...

[mikey_hates_everything]

Oh ok, as long as they CAREFULLY examined the liquid’s appearance and color before opening it up and drinking it. Some people will drink almost anything put in front of them. Did anyone even consider what else there could be in that bottle other than ethyl alcohol? Substances and chemicals 150 years ago that no one imagined could be poisons, contaminates or carcinogens, much less radioactive?

About 15 years ago, the brother of a friend of ours passed. He was single and pretty wealthy, and left everything to his brother, our friend. He held a small wake for him at his brother's house, which we attended with about 10 others.

Our friend offers up a toast for his brother and says we will be celebrating his life with some bottles from his brother's impressive wine collection. I don't remember the name, only that it was a red bordeaux with a 1950's vintage, and it tasted pretty decent. He poured 2 bottles into the glasses, we toasted, and he then told us that that those particular bottles were worth $7K each, EACH! That worked out to $2800 of wine between the wife and I. Crazy!
