Advice on valuing whisky...

Well, that's a tough one, I think. Maybe you could start by listing a few of the bottles. I presume they are not commonly available at the liquor stores?

hiya, I have been unable to find anything about them online. The two I need help with are:

• Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky - Vintage 1966 - Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky - Matured in oak wood for 23 years- Distilled at the Tomatin Distillery on 24.06.1966 - Bottled 2.90 - Cask Nos 9250 - 9253 - Bottle no 18 of 1300 - 75 cl bottle unboxed.

• The Scotch Malt Whisky Society - Single Cask Scotch Malt Whisky - Distilled Dec 1983 - Bottled May 1998 - aged in oak 14 yrs - Society Cask No. 76.17.

I know that 76 means its from the Mortlach distillery whish is in Speyside, Scotland and owned by Diageo. Many thanks for getting back to me.

@argyllgirl, this is indeed tougher than I thought. On whiskybase, the SV Tomatin 1966 is valued at approx £155. The SMWS Mortlach 1998 is hard to find, but the 1997 is currently valued at £57 while the 1999 is valued at £40. This might be something of an indication for you. Hope that helps.

Hi there, 76.17 was sold in 1999 for £42. This was of course a good price offered to our members, (you have to be a member to buy SMWS single casks at favourable prices) and it was some time ago. Because it is a single cask there were only 288 bottles ever in existence, we encourage members to drink the stuff but it might be worth more to a collector. Hope this helps@argyllgirl

Hi, thanks to everyone who got back to me. Do you recommend ebay as being the best place to sell these whiskies?

@argyllgirl You could try The Whisky Exchange, they buy older bottlings but I have no idea how well they pay: www.thewhiskyexchange.com/wanted.aspx

eBay could be a good option to try, it works for everything else :)

Don't sell it on eBay. Drink it!

WhiskyAuction is probably the best option to sell it.
