I don't think it 50/60 if it has 70°proof. Do you have a photo of it?

I'm guessing it's probably 70's, here's a link to one that sold recently. https://www.whiskyauctioneer.com/lot/01 ... ld-196070s

If that's the bottle then your looking at over €300 depending on condition.

If that's not the one have a look at this page and it should be one of those.

I can't upload pictures at the moment too. iPhone pictures come out to big.

In mint condition they sell at auctions for €300-400. Irish auctions are not as good so you should try a specialist one. You will have to take commission, handling charges & postage to the auction. That could amount to €60+ depending on what auction you choose.

Hopefully you can sell it here. Whiskey shops may offer to buy but you won't get near that.
