A couple had just moved into a castle they'd recently purchased and were excitedly searching all the nooks and crannies. In a large underground room, they found many empty barrels that have been tapped there years ago, and one that appeared to be full. They immediately tapped it to find that it contained delicious brandy. They drank and served it at parties enjoying not only its flavor, but that it could have been hundreds of years old. Months later, the barrel ran dry, they noticed that it was too heavy to be empty, they cut it open and found a shriveled corpse curled up in the barrel.
