Found Some Old Scotch
 
My great grandmother passed away last year, and we are just now finishing going through some of the things she left behind. There was so much stuff. My brother and I found some old liquor, it all seems to be scotch! It was laying down horizontal in an old cabinet, so I assume the seal is still good on all of it. I have no idea how old it is though. I am going to post some pictures and if anyone has any clue about the brand or scotch that we have we would love to know anything you know. Do you guys think this stuff is valuable?

Thanks,
Sam

Hey there! Looking into getting details on your Black & White, Grant's and Bell's. If you want a value on any or all of your bottles, we suggest you conatact McTear's or Bonham's (mctears.com or bonhams.com) They might also be able to provide information on your other bottles.

Sam, the photos of your Bell's Royal Vat and Black & White Whisky bottles were compared to items held in Diageo's (brands owner) historic packaging collection. and their archive department was able to date your bottles. The Bell's Royal Vat bottle dates from c1955 (1950 - 1960) and the Black & White bottle dates from 1940 - 1947.

I am not sure if I have a bottle that was bottled in 2002. That doesn't seem right. what is the name of the bottle those pictures you attached refer too?

thanks so much for your research so far! it's very interesting

You can disregard that entry (error on my part, wrong thread!) Sorry for the confusion :confused:
