Default Old Whiskey

When my great grandmother passed away I went up to help clean out here house. Well I found an old refrigerator and in the freezer part there were 5 bottles of whiskey, but only one had the label on it. I thought it was neat so I took it home as a conversation piece (no way would I drink that stuff).

Anyway I got a little inspiration this afternoon with the sun coming through the window and decided to take a few shots.

What do you think?

I love it! Looks great.... just curious... what would it look like in B&W or some other "old" fashion?

That is pretty good! I think the lines are a little distracting.

Oh, and neat shot!

It looks that old that if it was even half decent new it will be fabulous now, give it a try! Great pic by the way!

I did try a sip when I poured it in the glass for the shot, but I don't know what 40 year old whiskey supposed to taste like. It almost has a caramel smell to it. If the bottle hadn't been oped already I would have been more sure of it.

I piddled with it a little bit. Looks OK. Like your original, also.

Great find. I would consider taking it outside and kind of hiding it in some leaves, pine needles, grass or something to make it look like it was just "found" there. With the wear to the label, I think that would work.

I may try that. Thanks for the idea.
