I've been to Appleton a few times. I don't recall it being that boozy.

I'm sensing a theme here eh @cipher!

Has anyone beside me noticed that all of those are Northern U.S. cities?! That may be because the Winters are long and cold and dark!

A sad fact indeed about this area.  It is crazy how much drinking goes on here.  It does keep my shop full of cars though!  :-)

My friend's aunt passed away recently and they were clearing out her basement, came across some bottles of old stuff from the sixties. He doesn't drink so he told me to come take it. Are any of these any good or worth anything being this old?

Nice. My sister just moved there last month. I want to take the family up for a visit sometime. She loves it there so far.

Your sister moved to a tap room?

Even with the age?  There was a bottle of old rum that I tasted that was soooo smooth, the sugars had really developed nicely and mellowed.

She does like to drink and mingle so maybe. I know it's down the street from one at a minimum. :beer:

Distilled alcohol doesn't age once bottled like wine does. 10 year old scotch is still 10 year old scotch even if you keep for 50 years.

Ok, that makes sense. But does anything else happen to it? My father in law found an old old bottle of Southern Comfort last year and it tasted incredible compared to a new bottle.

That honestly would probably be the best course of action. If I were a wise man I would have thought of that myself... :beer:

Keep that J&B bottle. That is an old label that they have not used in ages. Love it.

Agreed, most of the labels, especially the Canadian Seagram's brands are classics that you don't see anymore. Hell, the Seagram distillery doesn't even exist anymore!

So can I drink them but just keep the labels? Are they valuable or just of a "cool" value?

I'd keep them unopened. You can't replace it and what you can get at the store is close enough. That J&B bottle is fantastic, would look really cool next to vintage barware.

Agreed. They are just cool bar pieces with more value as they are.  Not sure they are worth a lot but probably not that many unopened 50 year old bottles floating around anymore. Keep them on bar shelf for show with a more current version underneath for drinking.

    • I’d rather be someone who loves to win. That’s the fun side of competition—chasing the highs and enjoying the success. Hating to lose just feels like living in constant stress, and who needs that? That said, I’m probably more of a “hate to lose” kind of person. Losing gets under my skin way more than it should, and I’ve definitely dwelled on dumb stuff longer than I’d like to admit. It’s annoying, but hey, at least I’m aware of it.
    • Shot an 85 today, and man, it was all over the place. Started with a double bogey on the first hole because, of course, I sliced my drive into the rough. Got it together a bit with a couple of pars and even snuck in a birdie on the front nine, which felt great. The back nine? Total mixed bag. Crushed a drive on 12, felt like a pro, then immediately three-putted for bogey. Typical. Finished strong with a par on 18, though, so I guess I can’t complain too much. Just need to figure out my putting before the next round
    • I would pick Loves to Win. From my perspective, if one competes, one will lose and/or not finish 1st frequently. If I hated losing, I would stop competing. Winning is fun and often exciting. It never happens often enough for me but I enjoy competing and see success now and then.
    • To your point. There is no doubt there's a spectrum. I don't think anyone is totally one way or another. So, hate and love are probably too strong of words. But this exact question came up about me during a family game this Christmas. Everyone answered the same way for me. It's also the way I answered for myself, so its probably accurate.  I "love" to win. But I don't "hate" to lose. I really enjoy winning. I think of when I won the golf tournament I play every year. By the same token, I've always been truly happy for whomever wins the tournament. Some guys really burn when they lose. Not me, I feel good for whomever won and move on.  So, for my answer I definitely enjoy winning more than hate losing. Which is also the way I like to be. So I'm glad that others who know me well see that in me. 👍
    • That is quite an improvement rate but likely not a record. Here are my tips: 1. Enter and win, or at least place in the top 4, at the Mississippi Golf Association Men’s Golf Championship in June, 2025. Also check out their sanctioned events and enter some of those. This should give you a good idea where your game stands compared to very good players. 2. Make a 4th post. You have been absent since December 14.
