I've been offered a bottle of Baileys Whiskey dating from 2000/2001. What would it be worth? Not to drink!

The last bottle I seen for sale was for €700. That retail prices and very high. I would guess privately or at auction it would be around €200-300. It depends on how much you want it.

Personally I wouldn't pay more than a bottle of single cask bottle of Midleton/Powers/Redbreast.

Yes would agree with you GWH, a very interesting bottling that always seems to garner great interest. In ways very collectible bottle and went for huge sums pre- economic crash but have not seen too many fetch anywhere near that since.

The whiskey in it though is far from the heights Irish whiskey can be.

So basically it is a collectible for the sake of being a collectible.

These are the types of bottlings that confuse me. Yes its a rare bottling but the whiskey is very average so why the huge premiums?

Very collectible I would agree mostly as it was never launched
and what exists trades in a grey market so to speak and like the
equally rare 'Hennessy Na Geanna' carries an iconic name. At auction
or privately I could still see this going for 500Euro. Lot more worth the
money I think than some of the new 'collectibles' flooding the market.
I may be wrong but I cannot recall one on the 'WHISKYAUCTION' website
which I view usually as being a template of how much is actually out there.
It's possible to trawl their archives of past auctions to check.
