Does anyone know the value of a bottle of 1956 Hiram Walker & Sons Blended Canadian Whiskey?

Questions like this come up very frequently.

The bad news is this: as far as sealed whisky bottles like these go, basically only single malt scotch has serious value and collectibility (in addition to eBay, there are specialized auctions a number of times per year). Bourbon sort of qualifies, too, in the fact that older bourbons often go for hundreds of dollars on eBay.

But to whisky connoisseurs and collectors, Canadian blends are basically uninteresting, even if it's an old bottle (Crown Royal is a notable exception to this, though I'll never understand why). You could definitely get _something_ for your bottle on eBay, especially if a couple people who collect Hiram Walker see the auction -- there must be a few of them out there, somewhere.

My educated guess is that you might be able to get somewhere between $50-$150 on eBay, and it helps that it's in great condition. Take very good, clear pictures if you're gonna sell it (especially of the intact seal, including what verifies the vintage if you can, and the fill level is also extremely important).

And yes, you can absolutely drink it. Whisky this old does age in the bottle, just very, very, slowly and slightly -- many people wouldn't notice the difference, and it doesn't make it any "better." Just different.

You can't really drink it. Well, I suppose you could, but alcohol doesn't age in the bottle so it will be aged at the same rate that it had been aged in 1956

The best answer is, whatever you can get someone to pay for it. I would put it on a controlled auction block, with a right to withdraw if you feel the offer is too low. I really can't rate that because I've never kept a full bottle of liquor long enough for it to appreciate. If I buy a handle, that handle is usually gone that night

Having said this, I wish you all of the luck in your drinking pursuits and I hope you have happy drinking for years to come
