On the fen.
A co-worker has come into a couple of cases of Johnie Walker Black Label that is dated 1933. Apparently, the family of his elderly neighbor was cleaning out the family home, after moving Dad to an assisted living facility, and left the hootch out for the trashmen.
Do old bottles of whiskey have any value to collectors? Are there actually people who collect such things? I'm not a big fan of blended scotch whiskies so I didn't even offer to try a bottle to determine if it's still fit to drink. IMHO, it wasn't fit to drink the day it was bottled.
The smell of the stuff brings to mind a bottle of Lysol phenolic disinfectant; not a completely disagreeable aroma but not one that puts me in the mood to drink the contents, either. YMMV.
