Bottle of whiskey / one of only 150 made.

Postby anthony1960 » Tue Jul 08, 2014 3:39 pm

Hi everyone
As an ex employee of Irish distillers ltd I was lucky enough to be presented with a bottle of Powers gold label Irish whiskey that was specially commissioned to celebrate 40 yrs bottling at it's bottling plant in Fox and Geese, it is presented in a wooden case (not unlike Middleton rare presentation case) and has a special label showing this. there is also a cert to say that this bottle is one of only 150 produced to commemorate bottling from 1965-2005, now although I realise that the whiskey would now only be 9 yrs old , my question to you all is would the fact that only 150 of these particular bottles were produced, would that make this particular bottle of whiskey worth selling to a collector, or hanging on to for a lot longer? Thank you in advance for any help or advice that you may want to give me.

The Jameson Three Million Cases Sold bottle retails for 600 euro and there are ten times more of those...

You could ask them in the Celtic Whiskey Shop what it's worth. I'm sure they'd be keen to buy it.
