Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
Where can I find the value of really old liquor?
I found a bunch of very old name brand liquor bottles in my grandmothers basement. We are pretty sure they are from the sixties and seventies. They are mine now and I was wondering where I can find if any of them are worth anything before I drink them. Some of the bottles are Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Cutty Sark, Bacardi, Lord Calvert's, Glenlivet, Heaven Hill, Seagram's and many others. They are almost all unopened, The rest have maybe one shot missing.

o ANSWER:
If the bottles are sealed you may get a few dollars for the liquor, but not likely as they are relatively new. Most collectors are not going to get too excited until you show something that is 100 plus years of age with original contents. The Beam bottles may have some value if they are the figural type (car, animal, object of interest). Some of the other more interesting bottles may get a few dollars for the bottle, but the contents is pretty irrelevant.

2. QUESTION:
My dad recently passed away & had several unopened bottles of liquor 25+ yrs old. Would they have any value?
I know the initial cost of liquor is determined by how long it aged PRIOR to being bottled. But is there any appreciation once its bottled? If so, how would I find out how much they might be worth? If not, is it okay to just drink them?

o ANSWER:
They're probably fine, provided they're at least like 40 proof. Some liquor will degrade from exposure to light, but it's probably still drinkable. If they've been in a dark, cool cabinet, they're potentially as good as the day they were purchased. If you do open them, check the corks, and I'd let them sit and breathe for a while.
In my experience, sweeter drinks like liqueurs, or even brandies, might have a bad taste at first, but leave the cork off for an hour and try a tiny sip.
As far as selling them, I'd try for craigslist and don't get scammed,robbed. Legally, you probably can't sell them. Also try asking a finer wine store in your area. Or you can give them to me (Los Angeles).
Oh, and to be thorough, any appreciation after bottling would have to do with the current unavailability of the item, but not because the liquor has matured.
BTW, if it's just a bunch of normal stuff like Jack Daniels, Chivas, Cuervo, Gordons, etc, I'd just have a party with it (and make sure somebody checks it all first).

5. QUESTION:
Inherited some bottles of old booze-couple of wines, other liquors. How do I find their value, & buyers?

o ANSWER:
See if you can find a vintage wine store somewhere in your area -- not a liquor store, but an actual place that sells many wines that are over 0 a bottle.
Then go in and ask them. These guys love to talk about wine, they won't care if you're not there to buy anything.
Actually why find one near you -- look up the phone number for a place called the "Vintage Wine Warehouse" in San Diego, California, and give them a call. They can probably give you some good information.
