Man Finds Century Old Whiskeys in Attic

Man Finds Century Old Whiskeys in Attic

August 21, 2012 3

After Bryan Fite and his wife bought a home originally built in 1850 in Kentucky, he decided to do a little renovation and install some insulation in the attic. However, hidden in the wood was a collection of 13 bottles of whiskey dating back nearly a century. The bottles were distilled in 1912 and 1913 and bottled in 1917.

Fite looked into some records for the house and found that one owner was committed to a sanitarium for “alcholism”. Fite suspects that the alcoholic must of hidden his stash before his departure.

Though it will the bottles still need to be evaluated for worth, recently a 1930′s whiskey sold for $100,000. So nice find Bryan.
