Telegraph.co.uk reports that the world’s oldest bottle of Veuve Cliquot Champagne was found in a sideboard at Torosay Castle on the Isle of Mull. Chris James, the current owner, long curious as to the contents of a locked sliding door in the dining room engaged the services of a locksmith. He was rewarded with a perfectly preserved 1893 bottle, complete with trademark yellow label. The bubbly, now considered priceless, is on display in Veuve Cliquot’s visitors’ center in Reims, France.

In other news, I was really excited to find a half-full bottle of Tito’s vodka I’d forgotten about in my freezer last week. But then again, I don’t own a damn castle.
