Old whiskey bottle

[yacorie]

That's the goal. Trying to get as much info on it as I can. Want to sell it for what it's genuinely worth. Not looking to fool someone and charge too much but likewise not looking to sell for much less than it's worth.

yea old liquor can vary greatly in value. I have full bottles that are worth 30-500. Really depends on the brand, fill, year etc. I’m less familiar with Irish whiskeys but have asked someone who will know better

what part of that tells you it’s from the 10s or 20s? I would have assumed 1943

Honestly I was mostly going off the family saying it was over a hundred years old. But yeah 1943 is very possible if they were incorrect on the date, if it's of British manufacture anyway. I don't think we were making ABM bottles with bases that crude by the 40s in North America but they definitely could have been in the UK. Did they put date marks on bottles from the UK though?

A friend of mine familiar with Irish whiskey said the bottle has no real value and you should just open it and enjoy it.

Obviously - I recommend you get other opinions but he collects Irish whiskeys and that is what he said.

Thanks for trying to help. I finally found some information worthwhile from history of Kilmallock. Hundreds of pages later!


"The bottling of stout and beer, and wine and whiskey, as well as
lemonade, was an important part of the work at Kilmallock. Whiskey was
purchased from the distillers at the time of its manufacture and stored in
bond, in 50 gallon casks, at the distillery, for several years. It was then
brought by rail to Kilmallock, where it was racked and bottled. O
Sullivans retailed a special brand of whiskey. This was a 15 year old
Jameson, better known as “Kilmallock Red”, because of the red label on
the bottle. It was stocked in pubs in several counties, and was much
dearer than ordinary brands because of its special quality. It was a
favourite drink of the gentry."
