Question
Hello Paul,
I have two bottles of scotch one bottle of Johnnie Walker Premier Rare Old Scotch Whisky 750ml Serial Number A100625 BOUGHT IN 1988 in original box. And one bottle of Chivas Regal Royal Salute750ml in velour bag 21year old bought in 1986 id number S806958. Do you know how much they are worth? I am in australia and want to know if I should keep them to see if they increase in value or if I can sell them at the moment on ebay. Thank you very much for your time! :) Kindly Jack

Answer
Hi Jacqui

Distilled spirits like this don't change much over time in the bottle, because the alcohol level is too high.  The good news is that yours should be fine to drink.  The bad news is that it won't have appreciated in value the way some fine wines do.  I'd estimate the value of this bottle at about $60-75US each.

Sorry that I can't give you more exciting news
