What have you opened this week?

[Mike J. W.]

For sure, it was absolutely worth the gamble. I bought the lot thinking I would use them as gifts for the unitiated, but because they are so old, I'm not so sure about that anymore. I may just have to make the sacrifice of drinking them myself.

Doing some more digging, Saccone & Speed was the distributor for Taylor Fladgate from 1957 to 1982. Most likely it's a 60's or 70's bottling.

The importer label is the only label on the back. Thanks Mike. I had guessed very early 90s, so that's really incredible.

I assume that because they were bottled young around 7-10 y.o. and by a good shipper, and presumably well stored, is why they have managed to survive that much bottle age without tasting like nothing.

It was from the mid to late 1970’s. Glad they’ve help up.

One question, should I keep this in the refrigerator now? I worry about how fast something like this will degrade once opened?

My vote would be yes, but you can experiment since you have several.

Yes. I would.
