Echoes of Evading Prohibition. New York Couple finds 66 bottles of Old Smuggler Gaelic whiskey hidden in walls of house.

A New York couple that have been renovating a house have reportedly found 88 bottles of Old Smuggler Gaelic whiskey stashed in the house's walls, of which only 10 were unopened or in undamaged condition.

The century old bottles seem to confirm rumors that a prior owner of the house was a bootlegger.

They opened one on Thanksgiving in spite of warnings that the now seemingly confirmed bootlegger legacy may mean that the contents weren't safe to drink as they might well be something other than Scotch Whiskey.  They proclaimed it "not bad", although it should be noted that whiskey doesn't age in the bottle, and Old Smugglers is still sold today and isn't particularly expensive.
