hi, after a recent attic clearance we stumbled upon an unopened bottle of haig blended whisky, it seems to be approx. 30 years old.
1. is it worth anything ? 2. to anybody ? 3. is it drinkable ? 4. should it be decantered ( as per wine ) " to clean" ? all help greatly appreciated. thanks. p.s. also have home-made wine from 1950's , does anyone know the drinkability of this also ? |

The big questions are: How hot does your attic get in the summer? If it gets blistering hot like ours (seriously, ours gets well over 100 degrees!) - it doesn't look too good for you. Whisky should be kept in 'cellar like' temperatures, so if it was freezing cold in the winter and steamy hot in the summer - YIKES! Not good.
Other question....was it stored upright? It's not supposed to be in contact with the cork. Can't help you with the wine - there are so many variables - what kinds of grapes were used, how was it made, etc. Was it exposed to extreme temps and was it sealed properly???? Open it up and smell - go from there! Good luck! |
