    I was a small random liquor store today and saw two Jolly Pumpkin bottles...a La Roja and Oro De Calabaza. Well, the looked completely different. rather than having the traditional wrap around label and straight 750ml bottle, these were in 750's like The Bruery's bottles and had a simple oval shaped label. They didn't have a bottled-on sticker either. My question is, how damn old are these?

    My guess is those bottles are from pre-2008. Great find, that's definitely a steal for $13.

    Damn that's crazy. I'm still surprised that I spotted them. I'll probably save them for a bottle share unless someone really wants to trade for it. There isn't much I'm really looking for though
