This woman got a chance to drink some 282 year-old rum. I found it interesting that they claim the bottom of the bottle contained coconut fiber, and that it had lemon and lime juice added to prevent scurvy. My understanding was that the link to scurvy wasn't well known until the mid 1700s, but interesting nonetheless: http://packedsuitcase.com/2012/10/the-day-i-drank-282-year-old-rum.html
