Redbreast maybe 100 to 200. Hewitts, I think, 200+. The right buyer might pay a good bit more. The Hewitts is a rare peated Irish whiskey from Cork...

Depends on the age of the Hewitts, if a newer version it is probably not peated.

A few pictures will help us greatly

I assumed by the 70 proof that it was one of the older ones.

Sorry John, I missed that nugget of information so you are on the ball.

Love to see picture though.

They sold one a good few years ago at the Celtic Whiskey Shop for about 300 euro, which I thought was a good price for retail.
