Thanks for the info......I should have thought of that my self.
I wonder how much it's worth. My father recieved it as a gift in 1997.

Usq Gold
 
Its probably worth $250-$300.

It has not been produced in 10 years. Probably will not be produced for another 5 years.

I am interested in purchasing it from you. Or you can keep it...its a very good whisky blend

I just read your post, dated 3/17/2010. This is the first I have seen it. I never came back to this site after I had posted it. I am interested in selling this item if your offer still stands. You can email me with your reply.
Thanks

Just out of interest the statement "aged up to 50 years" is both illegal to have on the bottle or packaging and very misleading. There may only be a minute amount of 50 year old in this vatting with the rest possibly 3 to ?? years old. I have heard reports of some very small companies actually taking a litre of very old whisky from a cask and putting that into a young vatting.
So be careful about any statement that says "aged up to" either on the bottle, packaging or in adverts.

I have an empty bottle of gold elite with clear acrylic case. Anyone want to make an offer. I believe it was $400+ when it was new (and filled of course).
