One day in the 21st century, the sons of Earl of Harewood made the servants do an inventory in the cellar.
Then, they wanted several rum bottles to be tested for the first time in hundreds of years.
According to a cellar ledger the bottles were dated back to 1780 and were covered in a thick layer of mold that took them half of hour to remove it on each bottle.
A mix of light and dark rums, the hand blown glass bottles of almost 235-year-old rum sold at auction.
They were the most expensive rum has ever auctioned at Christie’s at nearly $11,000 US each and now they are ranked 3rd in our top.
