Thumbs up J&B Rare Scotch Whisky Dating

A family member passed away recently and when doing the basement cleanout I ran accross this old bottle of J&B. Curious of the age and possible value of the bottle. I plan on cracking it open when my child is born and having a nice scotch and cigar with my father.

It has the date "12-25-83" hand written on the label as well (most likely by my family member). Would love to know more about this bottle!

Thank you in advance,
Michael

Using the photographs you provided, J&B Rare's parent company dated your bottle - it was produced between 1974 and 1987.

Thanks a million for identifying the dates for me!
Also, one last question. Is it safe to drink?
