    Not much.

    Whiskey doesn't age in the bottle.

    The only value it would have would be to a collector.

    Try selling it on Ebay and put a high reserve on it.

    Maybe a collector will buy it.

    The whisky could desire to be little replaced from its unique circumstance. counting on storage situations. working example: If the seal replaced into broken, or improperly closed lots of the alcohol could have evaporated. extreme warmth or direct sunlight can even have had detrimental consequences ordinarily affecting style no longer secure practices. My wager is in spite of the undeniable fact that that the bottle replaced into placed on a shelf or saved unopened in a cabinet in a heated and air conditioned room and forgotten wherein case it's going to be fantastic. it would possibly no longer style precisely like a presently offered bottle of Pipers in spite of the undeniable fact that it particularly is going to be the two secure to drink and satisfying. you may particularly like it greater useful, and in case you do no longer like it, do no longer drink it. it particularly is a false impression that spirits like whisky advance with age interior the bottle. elderly whisky gets its characterists by being saved for years in wood casks! while the whisky is bottled it particularly is going to stay exceedingly plenty interior a similar circumstance it replaced into while it replaced into bottled! in this regard whisky is in contrast to fantastic wine! It does not have a similar varieties of sublte flavors and tanins which will slowly yet heavily exchange interior the bottle as they do in a Cabernet or a Bourdeaux. A $10 bottle of whisky saved for 35 years does not make it evaluate in high quality to a $200 bottle of 35 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous scotch! it is merely a 35 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous $10 scotch. a undeniable version bottle or a bottle from a uncommon probable defunct distiller could fetch a extreme cost as a collectable, yet an trouble-free bottle of Seagrams heavily isn't previous street teach fabric till finally the twenty 2nd or twenty third centuries, or perhaps then the liquid interior will nevertheless be a $10 scotch.

  • Is it scotch, is it single malt? If it is a blended whisky then you won't get much. Try www dot mctears dot co dot uk. They have regular whisky sales, one coming up in February. They might be able to advise

    Not as much as one would think. Probably 3x the current retail cost. (Approximately $80.00). 75 years is when items are considered antique, so I believe it applies to this liquor, which is still readily available and not so rare.
