adogranonthepitch

Sent the bottle, had insurance and track and trace. Didnt hear anything for 10 days. Track and Trace said it was in transit. Then Track and Trace went blank and aletter arrived. Sending alcohol over 24% to Europe is banned .. Ok in the UK .. but abroad. I siad, Ok, it hasnt left he UK, can you send ...

Hi guys I appreciate I haven't been around the forum for a while, sorry, a combination of a new job that means I seem to work every hour, and the wife (she's set up her own business and that needs my support instead of whisky). I still collect, but not so much drinking, as it seems to go down a litt...

adogranonthepitch

you can buy these for £250 on ebay sometimes .. me thinks its the classic whisky price graph... low .. very high, drop to mid leagues then a slow burn upwards

adogranonthepitch

it does taste very nice though!

adogranonthepitch

You cant go wrong with any of the Brora 30yo's that have been released in the last ten years.

Sig Laphroaig 1990 Port finish bottled in 2002

I thought it was weird there was no 2742 on WA

adogranonthepitch

Wow ..
Not seen one of these before!

Difficult to value but it's a blend and not a well known one at that.

I would guess, and don't be offended by this, but it can't be much more than 50 quid.

It's not collectable ... If anyone disagrees .. Shout up

One these bottles sold on whiskyauction just over a year ago for over 8000 of your European Euro's!

adogranonthepitch

Hello! It depends if you want a value to INSURANCE or you are wanting to SELL. There is a man in Ulster, Ireland trying to sell a case if Jamesons from the 1950's. The age won't make much difference. He is trying to sell it for around 4000USD ( he's selling it in Pound sterling but I converted it on...

Rob .. Funny these Capellas. They can be all over on price. In hindsight though I think you might be right my friend.

adogranonthepitch

I sold the identical bottle 6 months without the wire and a slip of paper to say so for GBP35

adogranonthepitch

Lunars 275 each
Capellas 200 each

adogranonthepitch

If you want a rough idea of value because you are going to keep them - then can I suggest you post pictures in the the forum using a hosting site such as photobucket?

If you want to sell them, I would send them to Butterfields / Bonhams in LA to sell.

Can you take a picture of the royal hallmark on the top of the label and post that on the forum. It will help with dating.

Happy to help. The first question is ... Are you planning to sell most/all the bottles or keep them? If you are keeping them ... Kep th upright and out of sun light. If you are selling ... Then I need to know where in the world you live? The location will determine what advice I can give. Christopher

It is post 1953 and not much older than the late 1960's

it is a litre which makes a little sexy.

Value 70 to 100 yew ess dol lers

adogranonthepitch

Ok .. A 1000euros is a tad optimistic but 650 of your English pounds looks good value to me!

adogranonthepitch

Very rare and worth over 1000 euros

adogranonthepitch

The bottles were bottled between 1980 and 1993.

They have a value of GBP 40 fir the Auchentoshem and maybe GBP60 for the Lochganer

adogranonthepitch

Whiskyauction everytime ... funny eh! ... as I am just about send that same bottle to whiskyauction myself!

adogranonthepitch

25 quid each on eBay. You might get 40 euros on German eBay. Hope this helps.

adogranonthepitch

Pc5 is GBP200 pc6 is GBP90 and Pc7 what you paid for it

adogranonthepitch

Sir ... As one of the photos is of the auction catalogue of a lot description and you say you have them already .. Then dare I say they are worth what you paid for them

Joking aside.. These don't look pre 1956.

Can we have a close up shot of the bottle?

Then I can give you a value.

adogranonthepitch

I find the fact that a 3yr old new release from an up and running distillery appears in the "collector's corner" department here quite scary Don't get me wrong, I like Ardbeg, but the hype is just too much :D Macdeffe trust me ... You could never over hype Ardbeg! Wash your mouth out youn...

adogranonthepitch

I am sure it will all OK in the end.
