so, vintage spirits.

long story short i was gifted a bunch of brown liquor in sealed bottles.
one of the labels, on a bottle of 12 yo kentucky bourbon, has a date of 1967.
there is a bottle of canadian club with a very old label. says imported, no warnings, etc.
couple other bottles. some scotch, some canadians.

i tried to search ebay, but got a lot of empty bottles.
anybody have any idea what this stuff is worth?
all pristine labels and slightly worn seals.

1. I don't know, but I have an un-opened bottle of brandy from 1887.

2. I don't deal in bottles.

Several years ago we had some that we couldn't identify. I googled bottle collectors/buyers, picked one out and sent an email with pix. He promptly answered with prices and likely dates all for no charge. He said he only charged if he had to do a lot of research. I do not remember which site it was ...sorry

You might want to try a few of them and see if you encounter a similar friendly soul. Good luck.

3. Technically, you can't sell it unless you're a licensed liquor dealer.

Thus the empty bottles on ebay. You might go to your local liquor store and ask if they know of any local collectors.
