It’s not likely drinkable, but I’m wondering if it is still flammable or just inert?

Looking for the ATF to deliver a no-knock raid at 2:00AM for illegal untaxed booze.

Why wouldn’t it be drinkable?

Woah, hang on! The Governor and the state ATF will be along shortly to relieve them of that burden!

My first thought was ‘paint stripper’.
My second thought was ‘jet fuel’.

They probably had cork stoppers. If the bottles were stored upright the corks will shrink as they dry out and the alcohol evaporates

"In early October, Nick Drummond and Patrick Bakker said they found more than 66 bottles of whiskey from the Prohibition-era hidden within the walls and floorboards of their home, which was built in 1915."

At $1000.00 a bottle I would hope it would be drinkable-—when all else fails read the article. :-)

If they’re going to sell the bottles that did not dry out they had better engage a NY lawyer specializing in NY liquor laws. I suppose the burden of proof might be on NY to prove that no alcohol tax was ever paid on that whisky since it is a real brand whisky. Cool story.

Dude, “proabition era”....meaning its bootleg uncontrolled bathtub type hooch. Even if it was drinkable when it was distilled, no telling what its turned into in the time since. LOL

I doubt a bootlegger would use industrial sealing standards when storing his booze for a short time between production and sales.
I wouldn’t chance it myself.

During Prohibition my grandfather kept his liquor inventory in a hidden compartment underneath the stair case. They should look there as well.

It’s not likely drinkable, but I’m wondering if it is still flammable or just inert? I've had plenty of vintage whiskey. As long as it was sealed well, it should be fine. Hard to say, considering how they were stored. Most of the vintage stuff is actually VERY good. Back in the day, even some of the cheap stuff was very well made. Currently, my oldest bottle was bottled in bond over 60 years ago. Usually, if it isn't well sealed, it will be cloudy and/or partially empty.
