Question
Hi,
I have a miniature size of old crow whiskey that said it was bottled for american airlines.  The bottle has never been opened and it says it was distilled by W.A. Gaines.  Its straight bourbon whiskey and it is 86 proof.  I know it is probably safe to drink but i was wondering if it has any value at all. Thanks for the help.

Answer
Hi David

Distilled spirits like this are so high in alcohol that they don't chanhe much over time.
The hgood news is that your bottle should be fine to drink.
But it won't have appreciated in value the way some fine wines do.

Sotty, but this won't have much value--if it were mine I would just drink it.

I wish I had better news for you.
