For over half a century, a mysterious visitor has left three roses and a half-full bottle of what alcohol on Edgar Allen Poe's gravesite every year on his birthday?

Cognac. In 2007, it was revealed as a stunt intended to focus attention on preservation of the Baltimore cemetery where Poe's body is buried.

Message: Yep, it is cognac but I personally thought it should be amontillado.
...and...
Does this mystery man drink the other half before leaving the bottle?
