50 Year Old Botrys Brandy

[mondolake1958]

I also live near Burnaby BC Canada. I bought 6 bottles of Botrys 50 Year Old VSOP Brandy on recommendation of a source inside the Government Liquor Distribution Branch in 1986 for approx $24 each. I still have 3 bottles, two of which are still in the original box. The story of the brandy was told to me as follows. The brandy, aging in kegs was hidden in the catacombs of Greece from the Nazis, and rediscovered years after the occupation. It was bottled and part of the supply imported to Canada by the Hellas Import Export Corp. of Vancouver for local sale. My gov. source told me it would be very valuable some day. This is all I was told about the product. I have drank 2 of the bottles since 1986, and is very excellent and smooth. The vintage of the brandy is 1936, given it was assumedly labeled in 1986, althoughan inscription on the label says July 1962. I will try to find out more.
