That's a 70/80's Redbreast 12. They contains whiskey from the old Jameson Distillery in Dublin. We cracked a couple open this time last year at our Redbreast tasting. They weren't a patch on the older one or the current ones but they were drank on the night.

As for value, they are rare and this means they are worth considerably more than the current ones. I know they retail about €350+ but I'm assuming your not a shop.
Yours are in mint condition and I'd say its worth €250 minimum anyway. You could get more. If you tried the Celtic Whiskey Shop I'm sure they'd give €200 min for it. I'd personally say try and get more.
