Default Dillinger Pure Rye, Bottled in Bond, Value

Cleaning out Gramp's wine cellar we came across this dusty old bottle of Dillinger's Pure Rye Whiskey in a corner. It's old but I do not know how old.

Is it drinkable?

Is it collectable?

What might its value be?

Pre-prohibition whiskey is very rare due to the age. Congratulations on the magnificent find!

Is it drinkable? Absolutely! The liquid appears clear and evaporation has been minimal.

Is it collectable? It is collectable. To some for the glass, for others to drink.

What might its value be? I've seen similar pre-prohibition pints go for between $100-$125.

Good luck!
