Question
I have a bottle of Courvoisier Napoleon Cognac in a wooden cannon mount given to me in the early 70's. The number on the bottle label is BG3453. It has never been opened and I wonder if it has any collector value ?
Hi DOn
This one would sell for about the same as a current bottling. Distilled spirits like this are so high in alcohol that they don't change much, for better or for worse, with more time in the bottle. And unlike some fine wines, they don't seem to appreciated in value, either.
Sorry I can't give you better news
