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.

    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
