My Grandfather died last year and on sorting through the house my Nan found some old whisky that she has given us, to do with as we please. I don't drink myself and would be interested to know if it is of any value. All Searches have proved fruitless to me apart from suggestions it could be worth around £70-100.
It is a bottles of Black & White Buchanan's Choice Old Scottish whisky. It is 70% Proof and looks to date around 1979. It is unopened and all labelling is in excellent condition.
I would be really grateful of any advice, and if I should want to sell it, where would I start?
I am hoping this link will take you to a picture.

+ It is not worth much. The word blended killed the value, put it on a shelf as a decoration. It may become a novelty and trade bait some day.

Unlike wine, whisky does not mature in the bottle, so the age is not going to make it more valuable. Your only hope is that it's a limited edition, but it doesn't appear to be. Sorry.

It is hardly old enough to be a collector's item. Whiskey does not improve with age once it is bottled. It has to remain in oak barrels to continue aging. It is also Scotch which means only people who enjoy the taste of iodine will like it. Fortunately for you, British cuisine has killed enough tast-buds that many of your friends and neighbors will be thrilled to get it as a gift.
