Hi!
I recently came across quite a few bottles of scotch at my grandparents village house, and so I'm here today asking for your expert opinions, good people of whisky.com! All whiskies were: -purchased during the early 70s -Stored vertically in a dark room for most of these 40 something years -Stored without any climate control so they have been through 40 mild winters and as many very hot summers (village is on a greek island!) -slightly evaporated (a few mm), although unopened Here are photos of the ones that looked unfamiliar to me -either because of the brand or the bottling-, as I'm rather new in the whisky universe. ![]() ![]() ------ ![]() ------ ![]() ![]() ------ ![]() ![]() In most of those bottles, when shaken in front of a light, the whisky appears to contain very small white-ish floating particles, and/or even sediment. ![]() I tried to look it up online but results varied from "whisky sea monkeys-do not drink!" to "reconstituted proteins due to unchilled filtering-drink up" and quite naturally, I have no idea what to do. I opened and filtered a bottle of haig and it smells and tastes just fine -actually even better than the contemporary one imho. So basically what I'm asking is: A) are they worth anything or should I just start drinking and B) Are they actually safe to drink? Thank you! |
