Hi All, I inherited a full crate of White Horse Scotch Whisky. Trying to find out the value so I can sell it. The bottle has this number on it. No. AW265480. The crate has says Bond 929 and has a date which looks like 3/22/51. Does anyone know the value of the crate with the 12 bottles or where/how to figure it out. I have pictures if needed. Regards, Michael
It is always difficult to find out the age of older bottles. Please note, that whisky does not mature in bottles. The whisky has still 3 years of age even when the bottles laid for decades in the cellar. It is only the years in the casks which count.
There are a lot of Blended Scotch Whiskies with big names out there. E.g. Black & White, Vat69 and this White Horse as well. Most of the names lost its value over the years. Single Malt Whiskies took over since the 90s. There are very few collectors and connoisseurs out there which look for these whiskies. If you are lucky, you can get 30$ for each bottle. The most would be paid for the wooden box, if it has a branding on it.
White Horse has an advantage over the other brands. Whiskies from the famous distillery of Lagavulin was part of the White Horse blend. Saying this there should be Lagavulin lovers out there willing to pay a little extra for this experience.
@elitegell, if you still have this crate of whisky, I would be very interested in buying it from you, and will make you a good offer. wwchristy@hotmail.com. Cell: (702)468-2176
As an expert in the world of whiskey and spirits, I can confirm that determining the age of older whiskey bottles can indeed be a challenging task. However, with some knowledge and a keen eye, you can uncover valuable clues that will help you approximate the age of these prized collectibles. Here are some insights and tips to guide you in this endeavor:
Label Information: One of the first places to look for clues about the whiskey's age is the label itself. Some bottles may explicitly state the age of the whiskey, especially if it's a single malt or a rare release. However, keep in mind that not all older bottles have age statements, as labeling laws and practices have evolved over time.
Bottle Design and Shape: The design and shape of the bottle can offer hints about its age. Whiskey bottles from different eras often feature distinct shapes and styles, reflecting the prevailing aesthetics of the time. Studying these characteristics can provide valuable context.
Tax Stamps and Seals: In the past, many countries required tax stamps or seals on whiskey bottles to indicate that the appropriate taxes had been paid. These stamps often bear the year of issue, helping you narrow down the bottle's age.
Bottle Codes and Engravings: Some distilleries use specific bottle codes or engravings to identify their products and production dates. Researching these codes and engravings can offer valuable information about the whiskey's age.
Packaging and Labeling Trends: Explore historical advertisements, catalogs, and packaging trends of whiskey brands to gain insights into when a particular label design was in use. This can be an excellent reference point for dating a bottle.
Expert Appraisals: If you possess a rare or particularly valuable bottle, seeking the expertise of professional whiskey appraisers or collectors can provide more accurate information about its age and worth.
Example: Imagine you have an older whiskey bottle with no age statement on the label. However, the bottle shape and tax stamp indicate it's from the early 20th century. By researching the distillery's historical records and matching the bottle design with the period's trends, you may confidently estimate its age to be around the 1920s.
In conclusion, while finding the precise age of older whiskey bottles can be challenging, a combination of label analysis, historical research, and expert guidance can help you piece together the puzzle. Embrace the journey of discovery, as exploring the history behind these bottles is part of the allure of collecting vintage whiskey.

I recently paid 16€ for a 5cl Sample of an old bottle of White horse from the late 50s or early 60s. So the bottle was worth around 240€ = ~270USD.
You will have to proof the age, thats the problem.
welcome
