Thank your parents. You will live all the longer for your genetic disposition. From my research, I think the only beneficial alcohol is in the form of one glass of red wine per day with a meal.

I also would assume that you have developed a bit more charm to attract the opposite sex without the cheap substitute of simply getting them drunk?

Personally, I can't resist Myer's rum in the eggnog from Thanksgiving to New Years.

Michael Paul Henson tells of a similar cache in the Ohio River near Owensboro, KY. In 1890 a sidewheeler, the DeSoto, caught fire and sank with a load of Whiskey aboard. Henson says the whiskey would be worth a fortune.

Altho "Unlike wine, whiskey does not continue to age
(i.e., change) in the bottle. A well-filled and well-sealed bottle of whiskey will taste exactly the same in 100 years as it does today"

Would still be a Very Valuable Find !

Would be funny if, after leaving his load and hiking off, some other person wandered by and found his team and hitched them up to his load and drove the hooch off into the sunset.

Re: Lost Whiskey Cache - I'd love to find this one!

Yes, I have developed a taste. I have brewed my own beer for the last 10 years or so, so I thought i'd try to acquire a taste for something else. It took a long time, but now I am starting to like the taste of a few Bourbons and Brandy. I still can't stand Scotch. I am not a big drinker, though. Just enjoy the flavor.

Yeah, that would fun to find something like that, and get a company to bottle it, and label it with the story. Worth a small fortune. I bet the dry sand would protect caskets like that - Who knows?

Re: Lost Whiskey Cache - I'd love to find this one!

the angels share would have dried it up most likely by now --as wiskey sits in a wooden barrel aging it loses a bit each year due to evaperation thru the wood of the barrel -- its refered to as the "angels share"-- over a long enough time - a full barrel will lose a good bit but whats left will be very very smooth. (and costly --since the cost of the lost booze has to be figgered into the price of the remaining booze) :wink:

Drank that only bottle of Canadian whiskey we ever found rehabbing houses 30 years ago. It was in a wall with some other goodies all dating it to prohibition. Not that w'd know good from bad in our hooligan years, but I'm sure we all got sick and fell down for a while. Nope, wait, we just fell down.
