We hunt for old bottles and occasionally find one with the stopper still in it. Most of them have been from the 1890's through 1920's. Almost always, the liquid inside is some vile mix of sea water and rot.
This time... something different!
Recently I found a full bottle of ...uh... whiskey? This one is clear, hardly any floaties and very little sediment, the cork still intact. The only writing is "Imperial Quart". The bottle glass shows bubbles, so it's likely from the early 1900's or late 1800's. It could easily be prohibition-era moonshine rebottled.
The bottle is currently living in a bucket of fresh water to prevent the cork from drying out.
It's very tempting to open it, but hey... Is there any market for this sort of thing? If so, how would I sell it?
