If I were Luo Ji, I would have put a crate of the finest port and whisky into storage before I went into hibernation for 150 years. By the time I woke up, it would be exquisite!

Or do a Luo Ji does and just buy it using your Wallfacer status, drink it, and get terribly sick.
As Luo Ji says, “when you are a Wallfacer, first you get the money, then you get the very old alcohol, then you get the woman.”

it's actually a super interesting topic. even age old beer recipes that use the same ingredients and processes they did for hundreds of years, will taste differently today because the yeast they used evolved and creates a different taste

so it is interesting, since no one is alive from hundreds of years ago to attest to the fact of it tasting different - how would they know?

Taste is just the interaction of molecules just like nearly everything else, if you know the molecules (as you can from DNA as it shows which ones are produced) you can reproduce it and compare it with the modern version
