Hi there, the most recent bottling on the WhiskyAuction site fetched €190. Search under Auction History, Highland, Glenfiddich, Unblended on http://www.whiskyauction.com

Thank u very much for your reply, my older friend who gave it to me said he got it about 20 yrs ago, does that make a difference?

Also, the pictures that are on the website say 10 years old. Mine does not have any designation on it.

The fact the bottling was over 20 years ago is reflected in the value, the fact there is no age statement makes a more unique, but only in a specialist Auction will you realise 'potential' value.

You could try the WhiskyMag forum for more opinions
