Finding OLD bottles in North Mississippi

[@nhwnhw02]

Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Mississippi was still dry for liquor. There was plenty around but it wasn't legal. Seeing those half-pints brought back some fond memories. Little country stores would have a back or side door where you went and got your liquor. No choice as to what brand they had. Always a case of half pints. Old Charter and Old Crow were both real common. No limit on age, you just had to have the money...

You can't find glass bottle old crow anymore makes me sad it's rot gut but it tastes like memories

[@OakandCedar]

Thanks for sharing! It was really special to see his dad's collection. There's a lot more in the video I dropped today

[@OakandCedar]

​@@kriegdeathrider7805I will head back to this shop when I go back up there... maybe I can get his dad on camera and open one or two of these with him!

[@stereodreamer23]

These whiskeys are better than 90% of the “allocated” plonk that you pay 3 digits for today.

[@Mr.JonDoE]

Definitely my parents liquor cabinet in the 80s

[@OakandCedar]

If they still have some unopened ones, reach out to me!

[@theylivewesleep4570]

Y'all notice the two with the shot glass caps?

[@SingleBarrelSB]

Tax stamps weren't required after 83". I want a mini of the seagrams eagle rare so bad

[@dominiqueflowers631]

I haven't seen Old Charter in years

[@OakandCedar]

Glad I could bring back some nostalgia for you!

[@Zaphodbeeblebrox01]

Damn his dad was a drinker those are jacket bottles to carry around and drink through the day haha

[@Hondaone1]

Just sipping whiskey

[@OakandCedar]

You should check out the long form and see the rest of this guy's dad's collection. Crazy old decanters and collectibles

[@nicholaslandolina]

His dad was a salesman

[@JS-oy6nn]

I threw up Calvert Xtra on my buddies dog 🐕 🤦🏼 🤣

[@OakandCedar]

That poor dog! Reminds me of that episode of Beavis and Butthead...

Thank you for that! I'm uploading the long form of this today, and you'll see some other goodies I picked up here.

[@hum-dinger2453]

Blanton's is trash

[@Lawyerboyleslie72]

Looks like every dads cabinet from the 70s

[@altoneiland5919]

Some ole grandfathered liquor there probably get a pretty penny if put on market

[@OakandCedar]

I asked him if he'd want to sell it.

[@altoneiland5919]

@ whew that Calvert extra would sell major especially since discontinued.. just the nostalgia alone from that selection man it’s impressive

[@SlainteFromFlorida]

It's oxidized all to hell.

[@stereodreamer23]

It amazes me how many people are willing to risk federal offense to make a few bucks. The “secondary market” is 100% illegal folks for both sides of the transaction. Is that bottle REALLY worth a SWAT raid from ATf, and potentially getting your pets shot over?

[@RJ-wx3fh]

​@SlainteFromFlorida clear glass bottle with questionable storage does tend to degrade them more than a light proof box, but probably still tastes okay if you do open it , andnprobably got a big market for a shelf curio

[@72gunslinger]

lil wayne😂

[@OakandCedar]

I was so focused on the bottles, I didn't even realize that was lil Wayne until way after this posted!

[@bonghitsandlove]

Why there a shot missing out of the sealed bottles.. 😂

[@andyallen4554]

Yo! Teachers!

[@OakandCedar]

I had never even heard of that until I saw the bottle that day!

[@andyallen4554]

@OakandCedar holy shit man I saw a 5th of teachers only because my buddies grand dad had an extensive whiskey collection. And this was 20 years ago. It was an old dusty bottle so 20 years ago it was probably 20 years old maybe more! Anyway never EVER saw it again until your post. Awesome memories.

No clue what either one said.

[@jenningsjennings2051]

Same but in my mind dude said "get away from my bottles" 😂

[@David-p6j1b]

Where is this specifically? I live in north mississippi. Id like to buy those charters and turkey.

[@OakandCedar]

Lee Street Liquor in Cleveland!

[@David-p6j1b]

@OakandCedar Thank you sir. I know exactly where that is. Do you know if they are for sale?

[@OakandCedar]

​@David-p6j1b he said he wasn't sure what his dad wanted to do with them.
