You might have some good old mountain brew going there. Nice score!
Personally I'd be popping that cork and getting some of that paint remover for cleaning up some finds of mine.
Hope you are not as old as those jugs. Did you ever pop that cork? I wouldn't be afraid of the genie. I have had my three wishes prepared for years now.
don't know the age of the jugs, I shook the corked one and no liquid in it, I'll leave the cork in it for now, I open something in my cellar a few years ago, and a year later, the cellar was infested with spiders, been killing them for years haha, guess I should have cleaned them before I brought them in, on another note, I cleaned some in the back yard years ago and brought home devil weed, it spread all over, had to burn the yard to get rid of it, fought with it for 5 years
