Hi, I am pretty sure non of this will ever reach the open market, there is some sort of deal that stops that or the marketing of the NZ Butter found there either. It is all considered historical = something that I am not sure those in the US have much of an understanding of due to your young country.
Young Country How many bottles should be kept behind a glass case and how many "put to their original putpose!" BTW, does whiskey keep aging in a bottle? Think not, but may be wrong. At leat Shackleton had this part of his forward plan right!
You need to come to the NE K1W1. We have a few hundred years here (Native Americans a couple thousand). It's not Europe, Egypt or China, but we have a bit of history.
World’s Most Expensive Whiskies I wonder what the price tag on the found whiskey would be? Below is supposedly the worlds most expensive. Most Expensive Whisky Ever The Macallan Fine and Rare Collection, 1926, 60 Years Old Price: $38,000 The oldest and most sought-after of Macallan's revolutionary Fine & Rare Collection is now sold out. It is still possible to taste this totally unique Scotch whisky at the Old Homestead Steakhouse in the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, N.J. However, it sells for a nosebleed-inducing $3,300 per dram, so you had better have had a good run at the craps table. I wonder what the price tag on the found whiskey would be
Hi, Ed, I might take you up on that challenge after FLIBS this year. I read a while back when this stuff was first uncovered that the items found are some sort of historical treasures and will not be sold or consumed like they would have been originally. There was a bit from someone in the distillery who wanted to sample the liquid by syringe and try to make a new batch the same. There was a lot of hue and cry about any of it being taken out of the bottle for any reason.
Your question made me wonder so I googled about it and here is the answer I found: "No, it ages in the distillery, in a barrel. Whether 8, 10, 13, 15, or 18 years, it does get smoother in the barrel, but stops aging when bottled. Wine is the only alcohol which continues aging in the bottle. "
Hah! There you go! On a Forum about yachting I rarely get it right, it gets to WHISKEY and there you are, I am correct! Says a lot for my boating ability!
