    does it say 70 year old scotch ,or are you factoring in the difference in time.scotch does not age once it has been bottled.the one that sold was a 1926 vintage bottled in 1986 then re-bottled in the 90's,so it's a 60 year old scotch.

    macallan is the Ferrari of scotches,hence the demand for that bottle

    that is a blend isn't it.they weren't a scotch distiller,but a scotch merchant.,that would affect price.

    my guess the scotch part would be worth about 100 bucks

    as for the nostalgic component in the equation,not sure.

    Oh man, you have a gem! 1. It's still drinkable. Will taste totally different than any current 7 year Scotch. The older blends had a more pronounced peat flavor. 50 years likely really smoothed the taste. Sip it straight or on the rocks. DO NOT mix with water or anything! Save for special occasions & toast to grandpa. Maybe with family at Christmas or New Years. Make it a family tradition. 2. I don't think you're gonna get rich if you try to sell it. Think it would have more sentimental value to consider parting with. P.S. Don't recall White Horse being a single malt (believe it's a blend) but nevertheless, when would you ever have an opportunity to sip $600 booze?

    You would get a lot of money so try amazon or ebay and sell it or try a local auction or something

    probably still drinkable i wouldnt see why not. i just did a quick search on single malt scotch whisky and it was around 600 dollars.
