Fantastic piece, Matt! Many of us are intrigued by the history and opportunity associated with these old and rare bottles.

Recently found a bottle of rum that Mom & Dad rip bought in 77 while on a cruise, I had retired from drinking but curiosity got me, it had been opened but sealed tightly, so I tipped the bottle , OMG HEAVEN IN THE BOTTLE! Truly no burn, aftertaste or chaser needed just true pleasure. I wish I had enough to share with everyone who would like a taste. I really do but sorry . Now about the bottle of over 100yr old Sherry I found with it , it was 50yrs old when they bought it for there 50th wedding anniversary, they missed placed it ,April 13 2025 would have been there 73 anniversary, I may open it then or maybe not, I've never had Sherry (the drink that is) any thoughts or should I send it to you for disposal. I was 13 when they got them now 62. BEST PARENTS EVER we went to Ron Rica... rum factory in the Dominican Republic I remember them filling my water cup with rum instead of the tiny shot cups they had, I was hooked, the rum he bought was from Puerto Rico, Ron del Barrilito brand , he bought several because it was duty (hehe duty still brings a smile when I hear it remember I was young then)free .Thank you for your time and enjoy every drink asif was your last one . Rum buddy 4 life ,best wishes and health to All.
