Old Unopened Bottles of Whiskey
It seems people are finding lots of old bottles of whisky that are still sealed and are wondering whether they are still good and what the value of the bottle would be. For the most part any bottle of unsealed high proof spirit should be safe, as we’ve seen by the sales of very old scotch whiskies. As for the value of these old bottles it will depend on the type of spirit and the stated age (i.e. how long it was barrel aged) and how old the bottle is. For example a bottle of Glenavon whisky from 1851 sold for about $29,000. The bottles that will attract the most interest would be anything pre-prohibition, or items that are out of production. But there are exceptions to this and even I would be interested in comparing some old Canadian whiskies, like a bottle of Crown Royal from the 1940's.
Unlike wine, once whisky, and spirits in general, are bottled they don’t age. Technically there can still be some changes going on, if let say the bottle was exposed to light for a long period of time, but for the most part, once bottled high proof spirits don’t age. The reason wine ages is because of the chemical nature of the wine. The compounds in grapes (tannins and acids) tend to oxidize and soften the wine over time. This is a good characteristic for wine. When spirits are aged, they pick up flavours from the oak barrels and that’s about it.
Almost all compound in distilled spirits are heat stable since they were distilled at high temperatures, compared to ambient storage temperatures, so heat doesn’t affect them as long as they are sealed. Wines however can be affected by heat. Also, since spirits are high proof (80 proof or 40% ABV) and ethanol is a very stable molecule, plus the water is extremely stable, there is only an very small amount of compound in aged spirits that could theoretically age. So if any change does happen, it would be insignificant.
Obviously certain spirits are going to have a higher “collector” value than others. Single malt Scotches would probably be at the top of the list. Because of prohibition, it would be extremely rare to find a pre-1920 bottle, but that would fetch some good coin if you found an interested buyer. Also because of prohibition, there are few, if any, vintage bourbons. Once prohibition was repealed, in the 1930's the process of aging the bourbon whiskey would have to start from scratch, plus demand for anything whiskey like would outweigh the idea of selling very old spirits at the time.
Canadian whiskies are quite abundant, but because they are blended they tend not to change from one year to the next. This reduces the value significantly since the perception is that something bottles in 1951 would taste the same as a 2005 bottling. That is the goal of blending, a consistent flavour from one generation to the next. So a bottle of 1974 Seagrams VO might not be worth anything, but perhaps a bottle of Crown Royal from the 1940's or very early 1950's might have some value. Again, it is not going to fetch you a lot of money but you may get double the going rate for a current bottle of Crown Royal.

Again a very good article. Thank you for your effort!
The subject of aged spirits is quite complex - because not only the quality and the (barrel) age comes into consideration - also the rarity and the value for collectors you’ve to take into account to interpret the price.
What really interesting is of this chapter is, that products and brands were altered over the time of years and centuries. You can assume that the taste of the audience changed and so did the masterblenders. There is no perfect formula to blend several barrels and every barrel is different. At the end, there could be a significant difference between a Seagram’s Crown Royal bottled in 2005 and the same product bottled in 1970.
So who ever has this kind of “vintage†spirits could be so kind to provide these spirits to a tasting audience which can compare the styles. So for us it could be even better, that spirits doesn’t change in the bottle, as this makes them comparable...
Though I have given something up I have both enjoyed and abused over the years, I was recently given an unopened bottle of Crown Royal dated 1968. It has no box but is still in the bag. My intent would be to return it with a thank you for the consideration and possibly some information about what it's value may be for a person who is interested in it. I am sure that either of us would like to see it go to someone that sees it more for it's date verses value. I will look at Ebay. If there are other resources I should look at please let me know. markneisler@earthlink.net

Hi, You mention that a bottle of 1974 Seagrams VO would not be worth much but bottles of Crown Royal from the 40's or 50's could be worth some. I have 3 sealed bottles of Seagrams VO, the dates on the bottles are 1947 & 1946. Would these be worth anything?

I've come across 5 unopened bottles of whiskey and I would like some information on their worth and how to sell them:
2 bottles of 1967 Gold Crest Canadian Whiskey
1967 Adams Private Stock Can. Whisky
1966 Walker's Special Old Can, Rye Whisky
1832 Decanter sealed in 1951
I have a bottle of Carleton Tower Limited Whiskey.
Made by Hiram Walker and Sons.

Full?
Where would I go about finding out what it is worth??
I have a 1976,77,& 79, James Bean, 80 proof,180 days olds, whiskey, would they be worth anything?
There's a small but steady flow of such bottles for sale on ebay. Depending on age, rarity and specialist appeal, prices realized seem to range from $20 (i.e. negligible) to $500 and up. It might not be the place to sell a $29,000 bottle of Scotch, but is probably the best way to sell most of the examples mentioned so far.

While visiting, my aunt decided to give me an old bottle of scotch whiskey. It was rapped in a news paper from 1977. She said it was a present from a wedding pushing the date back about another 10 years. It is a 1/2 gal bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label (12 years old) it is held in a black wooden stand, suspended by a brass hanger which tilts forward and back. Should I be opening this bottle or is it more of a collector idem? And if so what is it's general worth if any. I think it's pretty cool and no search conducted on the Internet so far has found another like it. So, am I rich or we doing shots later... Thanks for all your help.

Owensboro-Kentucky the seal has the # 18-2298008, made spring 1939 and bottled spring 1943, it also has a orange State of Colorado stamp on the side with a date of Feb 5-1944. the other one is a one pint bottle of A.R.Morrow California Brandy 100 proof bottled in bond by Fruit Indrustries, Ltd. Distilled by Fruit Indrustries, Ltd., Lodi, Calif. It has a # 5-0088519 on the seal , made Fall 1937, Bottled Spring 1943, it also has a orange state of Colorado stamp on the side of it with a date of jun 2- 1943. my Dad would like to know if they are worth anything.
I have a multitude of old whiskeys from various dates ranging mainly from 1950 to 1970. My 'collection' includes: Barclay Square 1959, Canadian Lord Calvert 1964, Adam's Antique 1952, Golden Wedding 1977, Canadian Club 1976, Gold Crown 1967 (still in bag), Seagram's VO 1959 and 1961, Wizer's Deluxe 1959, Black Velvet 1977 (still in the box). I'm interested in determining the value of these bottles and possibly selling them. If you have any information or you are interested please contact me at matt.skea@hotmail.com.
Cheers.
I found a bottle of VO in our garage dating back to 1964 still in the box. I knew the box was out of style but I didnt know how old it was till I opened it and saw the seals, we had ice in the glasses already. Now that I've read this website we're pushing ahead with the ice again. On a lighter note there was a bottle of Chequers scotch from @1974 aged 12yrs (1962 ?)...It will be well received at the bachelor party next week. Sometimes we need to remember that these spirits are intended for enjoyment and memorable occasions.
Could you give me an idea of the value of an unopened bottle of 1971 Crown Royal ? No box , just the bag that has a little mold on it . Thanks .

I hane 3 unopened botles of pre prohibition whiskey. One is an Old Taylor Straight Kentucky Whiskey bottled by EH Taylor Jr. and sons, the tax lable from the state of KY says made in 1914 and bottled in 1919. The other two bottles are TW Samuels bourbon, same made in and bottled dates. There has been some evaporation, and the corks are pretty dried out, but all in all in very good shape. Are they worth anything?"

Hi, We have an unopened bottle of 1961 Canadian Masterpiece by Lord Calver, Canadian Blended Whiskey. It is in the priginal red box in excellent condition. Can anyone place a value on this? Thanks so much! Karol
I see that MANY people "thirst" (sorry) to know the price of a good aged bottle 'o whiskey.
Well... Fantastic!
In my case however, I would like to find out how to open a bottle of Seagram's VO circa 1942 and need your guidance. I would like to preserve the physical "remains" with the greatest respect but this spirit is going to be experienced for my birthday with friends. After all, someone should before the bottle gets broken and the whole thing is a loss! (I shudder to imagine it!) ;)
How do I open the bottle correctly while causing the least amount of damage to the collectible potential of said bottle?
Ok, fine, I'll admit it.
Would I be destroying a "priceless" artifact by callously taking out a sealed bottle of '42' VO? I suspect not, but would I truly mourn afterwards?
Please assist me if you are able. I'm actually dubious as to someone still being available to answer this gargantuan and ancient thread of endless questions and pricing. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this matter on my behalf or perhaps directions to where I might find answers. If you are still there, thanks in advance for this help.
In essence, "Bless you sir"! I will certainly launch a toast to you if you respond!!!
Kindest Regards,
Scott

Hi,
I have a bottle of Knickerbocker Pure Rye Whiskey it's in an unopened tin you use a key on the top of the tin to open it. Put out by Distillers Corporation Limited. Montreal Canada. The story goes that it's a bottle that my great grandfather bought and was found when my family cleaned out his house it could be from the 20's or 30's but thats just a guess. I can't find any information on it. if any one can help or point me in the right direction it would be apreciated.
