thanks for the feedback Chip and Dr Z - i'll be leaving them unopened for now... (just got to curb that temptation!!)

Despite their age there seems to be very little evaporation as they all seem quite full. although the pic above looks a bit off, its only the foil cover over the seal of the rum that has aged and is a bit rusted. Its covering the cork which, from what I can see, (and what the guy told me) is in great condition and is well sealed. The rum looks good with no sediment and nice dark brown caremel color.

The guy who sold it said he has been collecting these for over 10 years (?) said they could be drunk, but always be wary of a salesman i say!
