Take a look at the tag on the top of the left bottle

So it turns out, 1968 was a good year for cheap whisky. Or at least, 1968 was a good year to buy cheap whisky and then not drink all of it. Friends brought over some old bottle found at a relative's house that have been sitting upright for the past 40 years. Ended up making the Canadian Club have an absolutely fantastic smokey flavor without a harsh bite. Yummy. The sour-mash Jack was sweeter but more full than the current variety, and the bottle on the right was once a white wine but over the past 45 years turned brown and from what I was told, was very sweet, caramelized, and packed a hell of a punch. There was also a bottle of Bacardi 151, which from the reactions I saw, had turned into Bacardi 191 or Bacardi 290,000, depending on who you asked.

This makes me want to scour estate sales for old, yummy booze.
