Is a 1971 bottle of unopened Canadian Club worth anything?!
Is a 1971 bottle of unopened Canadian Club worth anything?
It's a 6 year whiskey discovered in my dead grandfather's stash. The family lawyer has said it is worthless and he would like it for his 'bottle collection'. My mother said it might be worth some money. We need to know for probate.
Answers:
It is pretty much worthless....The bottle may be neat but the wiskey stops aging once it is put in the bottle. So basically what you have is a bottle of booze that has been hanging out in a state of prugutory. It is not getting any mellower or smoother, but it is not getting any worse for the wear either....unless it is open then it is totally worhtless. The best case it is worth about as much a new bottle, about 20 bucks.
The only thing that could change that is if it is some sort of collector edition or collectable decantor style bottle then it could be worth some money.
If it is a collectable or decantor/ cremerative bottle then it could be worth hundreds to thousands. If its a plain bottle let him have it.
