Could anyone tell me what would be a fair price to sell this for.

I'd expect they are worth €300-400 for a private sale. They retail much higher but shops have overheads and VAT.
I see some go at auction a while back for €350 including commission etc. The condition was fair too.

If yours was one that had a Crystal cut glass included in the package those are rarer and worth a little more. All would depend on bottle condition and packaging.

Thank you very much for that information. I have had an offer to buy my bottle but had no idea what would be a fair asking price. I have the crystal glass and the box is in fair condition so I now have an idea of what to ask for it.

One in the celtic whiskey shop currently for 900 but I'd not get overly excited about that but you can use it as a bargaining chip. I think GWH is pretty on the button but I'd go closer to the €400 mark as a fair price.

Best of luck selling it.
