Question
My bottle of scotch is maybe 100 years. old
how much would you say its worth?

Answer
hi Jeanie

Distilled spirits like this don't change much in the bottle, the alcohol level is too high, so the value is pretty much the same as a current bottling. If the brand name is a famous one, and the bottle itself is collectible, that's a different story.

You can check with antiquebottles.com to see about that---they are the experts in bottles.  

But in terms of Scotch, this would probably be worth something like $50...maybe $75.
