As you say, it’s a bit of a novelty, it’s 100% sealed and original. The wife knows the market pretty well and it’s gone to a collector friend already so sadly it’s spoken for.
Totally agree. My wife sells these at the auction house she works at and the collectors prefer the pristine bottles for sure. But if it’s rare, or properly unusual, they’ll pay 👍🏼
I’ve a friend who follows whiskey and whisky forums, blogs, websites etc and looks out for special and limited edition bottlings from distillers, he’ll generally buy two bottles, drink one and keep the other. They do appreciate (in value) with age and even some he’s only had for a few years he’s...
Whisky doesn’t improve or change once’s it’s bottled until the bottle is open, so no need for temperature controlled storage, the cupboard under the stairs is perfectly adequate.
