Is it fresh?

I believe it's frozen
Frozen.  A sealed bottle of liquid that doesn't freeze at zero degrees Celsius.   Brilliant conclusion,  but BAC please correct me if I'm wrong here, and I don't mean to hijack the thread.

$2600

Its a serious offer, you should at least consider it.

No thank you, but thanks for the offer.

I understand this shit sucks vs a bottle of bourbon you could get for $2600.  (personal opinion Cheesy)

Did you really need 8 months to think of a response? /jk

You got a damn fine drink for sale, good luck!

Do you have any photos of the paperwork? No one here is going to spend $25,000 without being shown some proper paperwork.

I can offer $2500.

Thanks for the offer, but no thanks Smiley.

I think its fair.

Lots of bourbon and scotch people/collectors agree with you in regards to this bottle of brandy.

If its a round bottle why is the side around richardson's signature warped?

The flat or warped side you see around the signature might simply be an air bubble. (From a round bottle which was photographed laying on its side rather than standing upright.)

Regards,
Christopher

Ahhhh I bet that is what they were talking about.

The bottle is sideways in the picture.

That would be a huge air bubble, as if someone already opened it for a swig. Also the "air bubble" is asymmetric near the beginning of the signature. Very unlikely. I'm calling photoshop.

Ya someone opened this bottle for a swig...  Roll Eyes.  Then they photoshopped it...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes.

The seller is my go to Pappy Van Winkle connection.  They have sent me tons of pictures of the bottle and a good amount of paperwork pictures as well.  I absolutely believe this bottle is authentic.  I have never seen it in person though.

BayAreaCoins, why don't you go with your friend to a local auction and hopefully someone will bid like 500k on it, and starting bid 100k since it is worth 1 million. Did your friend buy it for 1 million :p ?

They are going to go the auction route I believe.

Let me text and ask.

I don't have the bottle on hand, so really I should double check to be 100% sure it is round.

"It is a tall bottle with an extended neck."

From the pictures I've seen it appears to be shaped like a Pappy Van Winkle bottle, but extended a bit. (same shape)

Signature looks fine to me.  I've never seen another one though.  Perhaps someone will come out of the wood work who has.  Bitcoin is a small world.

The pictures I've seen online the bottle is round whilst the picture you have seems like it has a flat side. For a $1000000 bottle of spirits they could have given you a better designed bottle.

She's a round bottle.

This is the gold leaf capped bottle.  The link I added in the OP explains a little bit.

Honestly, I figured if Sir Richard stumbled across this he would already be fairly familiar with the bottle and company.

How does one verify the authenticity of a bottle of brandy unless there is a known expert there to do so?

Interestingly enough, wine producers are expected to start using the blockchain to track and verify the authenticity of commonly counterfeited products. http://blog.vinfolio.com/2014/10/06/the-future-of-wine-provenance-is-bitcoin/

125k and it's not VSOP or XO? That seems... odd.

Sorry I can't be more specific on the bottle, but I can say that people may or may not be right about which bottle it is on the first page of this thread.

I mean... there aren't exactly many $1 million dollar bottles of Brandy out there.

aaah damn...
i was looking for a good drink.... no pic no honey

Eh sry.  I hate listing shit without a picture.  I just have to stay within my set guide lines.

We will send pictures to interested buyers.  (gay I know, but it is what it is)


Edit: Picture added to the OP.  Additional pictures can be provided.

Just seen an episode of American Greed where a guy defrauded millions from people by simply counterfeiting rare bottles of wine and selling them as "authentic and genuine".

How does one verify the authenticity of a bottle of brandy unless there is a known expert there to do so?

Let me confirm with my seller.

I'm sure we can arrange for the buyer to meet the owner of the company.  The company has since been closed, but shouldn't be an issue with a call here or there!

Counterfeits hid in volumes.  There isn't any room in say... Pappy Van Winkle 23yrs because there is only 3,000 bottles sent out every bottling.  This stuff I think there was only... 5 lol.  Wine market has plenty of room for "those types".

I have heard of fake attempts at Pappy Van Winkle, but the tops are plastic (DEAD give away.)  The machine that does the tops of the bottles costs a fuck ton of money and uses metal.

I'm sure there is an expert somewhere that would be able to aid the buyer as well.  Perhaps our buyer has already tried one of the other 4 existing bottles and can taste test with us! (wishful thinking hahaha)

Bitcoin down since the last time I bumped this.

Still a steal as far as I'm concerned (less than 600 BTC)

Maybe put it up on https://www.bitpremier.com/ ? You could also reach out to Alan Silbert ( https://twitter.com/alansilbert ) and see if he has any suggestions.

I don't think BitPremier would list it... I'm pretty sure they rejected some Pappy Van Winkle listings as well.

Reaching out to him isn't a bad idea.  Thanks for the links Smiley!

Wouldn't be auctioning it the best option? Does he have any sort of certificate or such in order to prove it is authentic?

All of the paperwork does come with the bottle.  Everything that proves that is authentic comes with the bottle.  

Bonhams in NY doesn't do spirits as of 2014 and Skinners hasn't been marketing their spirits very well.

The seller is also interested in Bitcoin.  That is the main reason it is posted here... perhaps this listing will encourage all of the high end auction houses to allow bidders to bid with Bitcoin. (www.Liquorlist.com added a Bitcoin symbol on their site + commented on a thread about them on Bitcointalk.)
