Question
I´m trying to find out the value of one scoth whisky bottle.
)
This was a present from my father in law.
The bottle does not have any date, it just have something like a serial number: 126064
Can you help me?
Hi Adrian
Distilled spirits like this don't change much in the bottle over time, because the alcohol level is too high. The good news is that this still should be in fine shape to drink. The bad news is that it won't have appreciated in value the way some fine wines do. I'd estimate this one at about $35-50 US.
But the bottle itself might be of more interest to collectors than the wine inside. I'd drop a note to the guys at antiquebottles.com, and see what they say. They keep a keen eye on what is collectible in the bottle department these days.
Hope that helps--and I am sorry that I don't have more exciting news for you.
