Question
Hi Paul,
I was hoping you could help value a bottle of white horse whiskey unopened and in original box with 1987 Americas cup logo.
I purchased in 87, and kept in mint condition.
Kind regards Andrew.

Answer
Hi Andrew

The liquid inside won't have appreciated in value--distilled spirits don't really change much over time in the bottle, as the alcohol levels are too high.  

But the bottle itself might be of interest to a sailor.  I'd ask around a bit at a local yacht club...or you can always check with the guys at antiquebottles.com.  they keep a close eye on collectible bottles

Hope that helps
