Heavily "aged" liquor

I had more bottles that that needed grunging up, so this time I made a tray of some old ass liquor. A couple of them already had labels, and the rest I added. Years ago, I bought a sheet of liquor labels on ebay.  They were made by Brooke Tucker....or, at least, marketed under her name. These are not the original labels, but photocopied ones (which is ok since I destroyed them, lol!!). Somehow, I don't think these would fit in one of Ms. Tucker's sumptuous settings, no :-/ ?? They look like something dredged up from a sunken ship, minus the barnacles!!

    Kiva, I immediately thought "Ghost Town". I have seen bottles like that here in AZ, in places like Tombstone and Jerome. Great bottles!

    I agree. They do look like bottles from a ghost town. I see a lot of those laying around out near Randsburg.

    You know I love all your food creations but I have an ultra soft spot for these bottles. I just love bottles, life size, mini or giant ones. And when they are aged/shipwrecked/ ancient, even better!
