No105_Archie Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 In the article it talks about how the boze would have survived all the "freezing and thawing"......if you can freeze it ..it isn't very good Scotch I expect though that the bottles had cork stoppers and that the stoppers may have failed a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Some lady Scotch expert, Helen Arthur, is quoted in the article that the bottles might fetch as high as $1000 on auction if the bottle is intact and the label in good shape? $1000? Is this woman senile or just terminally stupid? A 100-year-old bottle of Scotch from Shakelton's expedition, that has been sitting under the floor boards of a hut in Antartica since 1909, is going to start at about $10,000 minimum at an auction. If we were pre-Madoff and the economy was still roaring, I'd say the bidding would start at $100,000 for one of those bottles ... regardless of the fitness of the Scotch inside.

Stans Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 My guess would be that the corks would have dried out and allowed air to seep in by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
