[lynsey123]

Gibsons whiskey from 1960 still sealed.

Gift from a friend.

Would this still be good?

[Richtee]

Prolly. I mean..if it ever WAS good.

[IrishChef]

One way to find out....

[Mark R]

Naaa it was rot gut to start with and wouldn't age well....send it to me, I'll "dispose" of it for ya.

Just got off the ph with the LCBO and the guy told me that spirits don't go bad so enjoy .
I just figure it out and this stuff because it says 16 yr old on the bottle and its labled 1960 make it is 68 years old.
The guy said if I didn't want it I should bring it to him.

Sipping whiskey for sure.

It don't change much in the glass bottle, Herb... the age means little once bottled.

[Zeeker]

Never a problem Herb. Have at it. I have a Texas Mickey of CC "Canadian Club"
Dated 1963 unopened with the label intact. Just waiting for the right moment...

[Richtee]

Just waiting for the right moment...

There's some famous foodies/winies that have "Open that bottle!" night like once a year...

Seems one was saving a bottle for an anniversary with his wife I think...and she died unexpectedly.

Just saying...

No, it just means it was aged for 16 years before bottling, doesn't matter what year it was put in the bottle. So it's a 16 year old whiskey, I bet that tastes pretty dang good.

100-year-old crate of Scotch whisky found trapped in Antarctic

A crate of Scotch whisky that was trapped in Antarctic ice for a century was finally opened Friday - but the heritage dram won't be tasted by whisky lovers because it's being preserved for its historic significance.

The crate, recovered from the Antarctic hut of renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton after it was found there in 2006, has been thawed very slowly in recent weeks at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island.

The crate was painstakingly opened to reveal 11 bottles of Mackinlay's Scotch whisky, wrapped in paper and straw to protect them from the rigors of a rough trip to Antarctica for Shackleton's 1907 Nimrod expedition. Though the crate was frozen solid when it was retrieved earlier this year, the whisky inside could be heard sloshing around in the bottles.

Antarctica's minus 22 Fahrenheit (-30 Celsius) temperature was not enough to freeze the liquor, dating from 1896 or 1897 and described as being in remarkably good condition. This Scotch is unlikely ever to be tasted, but master blenders will examine samples of it to see if they can replicate the brew. The original recipe for the Scotch no longer exists.

Hey It has to be a collectable, look at it this way, nothing in it was made in China back then...

[SmokinLee]

Never a problem Herb. Have at it. I have a Texas Mickey of CC "Canadian Club"
