Value

Postby RareStuff » Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:55 pm

Hi Guys

Any thoughts on the value of the following collection that I plan to dispose of.
Dungourney Special Reserve 1964
Midleton 25 year old 1973 x2
Midleton 30 year old 1969
Midleton 26 year old

Prestons Millennium Malt

The above are all in original packaging and paperwork.

Thanks in advance!

The Dungourney can be bought at the distillery (or the distillery's website) for 500 euro, so maybe a little less than that as it's second hand.
Got the Midleton 25 year old at the start of the summer for just under 800.
Got the Midleton 26 year old a couple of months ago for 800 but saw it go at auction for 750.
Was offered the 30 year old for 1,000 but turned it down thinking 900 was a fairer price, but the seller didn't think the same way. So maybe somewhere in between would be accurate for that particular bottle.

Agree with the previous post, I got my 30 yo's for €800 & €900 respectively

€800 is a very good price for the 25yo

A couple of 26yo's sold for €700 apiece recently,

Therefore a range of €700 to €900 is achievable, more on a good day!

Dungourney €400-€450

Prestons is difficult to value but I'd guess €150-€200 but others might differ, as it is really just a Cooley malt with a Preston's thrown in, which s a pity as the Preston's was worth far more on it's own, I have a half bottle of Preston's in my own collection. A couple of more opinions on the Preston's might help.
