What Does Prohibition-Era Whiskey Taste Like?
Briefly

Sotheby's hosted a special whiskey tasting featuring rare bourbons from the early 1900s, including a bottle distilled in 1917. The tasting highlighted the passion of collector Mark Wade, who amassed a significant vintage collection. Notably, the event featured several rare whiskeys that have been preserved for decades. Glesta described the sensory experience of tasting these historic whiskeys, emphasizing the rich flavors and aromas. Unlike typical auction preparations, the focus here was on enjoyment rather than sale, showcasing Wade's dedication to sharing these unique bottles with enthusiasts.
Next, it meets my lips. Its label, which reads Unexcelled for medicinal purposes, is lying. The liquid is excellent.
This is the only bottle we have, and we chose to drink it. It won't be in the sale.
Mark is one of the most passionate whiskey collectors, not only because he collects the best bottles, but because he's willing to open all of them.
The tasting flight includes a half ounce of 1934 Black Gold 20 Year Old, 1929 Dowling Bros, and more.
