I'd be after tryin' it but the guy who bought it did so on speculation as an investment.

...silly boy.
 
Might be the nastiest stuff you ever laid a lip to.
Myself and a friend once found a bunch of wine in an old cellar that the house had collapsed over. Some of the bottles had dates in the late 1800`s. We thought it would be real good aged like it was. How wrong could we be! That stuff was NASTY!
Mostly vinnegar and what wasn`t vinnegar was HORRID!

Not sure but wine is a totally different situation. I've had bottles of wine go to vinegar in a relatively short time. Whereas some of the Bourbon I’ve had has remained perfectly fine for years even after opening. But in the case of wine - I suspect it all depends on how controlled its environment is kept and I suspect the cellar in your story under the collapsed house probably wasn't monitored. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Besides I don't think the same thing could apply with Scotch or any other fine whisky. As I understand it the aging process more or less stops when it’s bottled so the Scotch in question here probably only saw about 60 years of aging before it’s first bottling in 1986. Between then and it’s second re-bottling I don’t think it aged any at all.

If it had been in this house it wouldn't have seen the first 60 years /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
 
I have a little bit of 18 year old Dalmore but that's about as far as my budget can stretch and then only rarely. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thirsty.gif

Just think, it could slip and crash to the floor and be a total waste. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

Friend of mine has an original unopened can of Billy Beer. Should he decant it first, or just open and let it breathe?
 
Keep it unopened!! I think its greatest value maybe as a collectible...T'wasn't a great brew to begin with!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif
 
I wouldn't mind having a snifter of that Scotch. I thought I was doing pretty good with some 18yr old stuff. 81 must be smooth as silk.
