Hiding in a box in an attic.

[Kbcon]

Treasure comes in many forms and I happen to stumble across this beauty in my late uncle's attic. It's an authentic 50+ year old 18.39 fl.oz full bottle of Kweichow-moutai " Flying Fairy" (Chinese spirits). I read that this particular bottle is extremely rare and highly sought after.
If I was a vintage spirit connoisseur I'd probably keep it, but instead off to Sotheby's or Christie's it goes...

I don't know anything about storage of wine, but isn't an attic storage for decades of heat, already destroyed it.

Your guess is as good as mine CT.

Ok, not wine but spirits but question remains. The heat would not destroy it?

I'm not going to open it to find out. I'll let someone more qualified then me do it.

I actually have a dozen or so very very old samplers of various brandy, spirits, etc. They are tiny bottle sized like what are called sippers available today, And some have the tax paid label glued over the cap. All have decorative labels showing fruits or whatever. I don't know what to do with them but I won't be trying them

You never know, they might still be good, but I hear you, I'd probably pass as well..

Hope you do well with it, although it sounds like it wasn't exactly stored under ideal conditions.
