How much to pay for an old bottling of Paddy's?

Postby LiquidGold » Sat Jan 02, 2016 12:09 pm

Hi,

I saw an old bottling of Paddy and was wondering how much it is worth. The fill level seems ok even if not full. I saw bottles for sale for about 200 Eur. I think this is maybe from the 70's. Any thoughts?

I think you would be very lucky to get anywhere near 200 euro but you could get lucky. I would say between 40 and 80 euro. Might be worth more in a few years.

Thanks. I will risk it, it's under 50 Euro.Seems very cheap but the bottle looks unopened.

That's probably early 80's I think. Worth €50 on a good day. Retailers can put a ridiculous price on them because there's always someone that's going to spend silly.

The fill level isn't great. There's a lot of evaporation or leakage. I'd be cautious about buying to drink. I've got a few bottles over the years with bad fill levels and all but a few were tarnished.

Agree. I would put a max. Of 50 euro on
this. Nothing special. Now if you were
talking about a Paddy 7 or 10 yr. old then
a different story.
