    I found this in my Grandfather's house. It's an unopened bottle of Special Reserve American Bourbon Whiskey from 1938 (printed on bottle). The lable on the bottle states at the bottom: "sole distributors for cuba" and "Herman's Store, Prado St 256, Havana Cuba". This bottle appears to be a cuban good marketed towards American Tourists. It has the original packaging with a label that reads: "Herman's Store, Cigars, Liquors, Perfumes, Cuban Novelties, and Alligator Goods. Telef: A-8086 - Prado St. No. 256, Habana, Cuba." It also reads on the side: "Everybody knows Herman's in Havana" though that part of the lable is ripped in the middle.
    I am trying to find out several things: Are the contents still drinkable? It appears there has been some evaporation over the years (see pictures). And, of course, how much is the bottle worth? I would appreciate any advice! I'm kinda lost with this kind of thing. Thanks!

      Cool bottle, shot in the dark, but if you still have it, I'd love to speak with you about it. Thanks! JeremyBurges401@hotmail.com
