'Our walls are built of booze!': N.Y. couple finds bootlegged whisky during home repairs

A couple from upstate New York found dozens of whisky bottles dating back to the 1920s hidden in their walls and floor boards, all but confirming their suspicions that the old home once belonged to a prohibition-era bootlegger.

    They should keep looking as I'm sure they'll find even more!

    Thiking about it . . . those bottles likely used cork stoppers. Cork dries out and shrinks in a few years. Likely the booze has oxidized to vinegar. :(

    But the bottles might be worth something to a collector!

    But wouldn't it be wild if the whisky is still good?

    It would be! But then again I'd test it for benzene first! Prohibition whisky could have come from anywhere. ;)
