Question
hi just acquired some covoisier luxe cognac 160ml believed to have been kept for around 15years was wondering if it was of any value also been given clan campbell whiskey 37.5cl as well as lambs rum and three barrells all of same age can you help?

Answer
Hi Elizabeth

Distilled spirits like this don't change much over time--the alcohol levels are too high.  The good news is that yours will be perfectly good to drink.  The bad news is that they won't have appreciated in value the way some fine wines do.  Yours are probabaly worth about the same as current bottlings of the same products.

SOrry that I can't give you more exciting news.
