Question
Recently found a few old bottles (full) above my cabinet.
Crown Royal and Canadian Club with US Treasury Seals dated 1957. Also a Galliano bottle, same type stamp but with no date. Are these worth anything? Are they drinkable?

Answer
Hi Scott

These things are so high in alcohol that they don't really change much over time--for better or for worse.

So they should be perfectly fine to drink, but they won't be worth much more than a current bottling.

Sorry that I can't give you more exciting news...
