Question
I have a un-opened bottle of courvoisier, still new, dated  1963.  What kind of value, and where could I go to find the value of this gem? Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Matthew

The good news is that this is perfectly good to drink.  The bad news?  It hasn't appreciated in value the way some fine wines do.  Distilled spirits like this are so high in alcohol that they don't change much at all over time.  So your bottles are worth just about as much as a current bottling of the same stuff.

Sorry I can't give you more exciting news.
