Beverages/Value of a 1 gal 1960 bottle of COURVOISIER COGNAC '1960'

Question
Any idea what this is worth? It is in excellent conditioned and unopened
HI C.J.
Distilled products like this don't improve (or get worse) with age because the alcohol level is so high that they simply don't change much over time. So unlike some fine wines, distilled spirits don't appreciate in value over time in the bottle. Yours should be perfectly good to drink, but it won't have any higher value than a current bottling of the same stuff.
Sorry I can't give you more exciting news.
