My father in law has been given some old scotch from his father in law. One is a bottle of Old Parr. The old parr has no date, and is sealed with the LCBO (canada Sticker on it) 2 are Hudson Bay Scotch, 1 is a Dewars that looks to be very old. 1 is a Kentucky tavern whiskey, 1 is a white horse scotch. And the other is an older johnny walker. None of these have dates, and all are sealed
http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/d...t=IMGP1413.jpg I have some pictures of all the bottles. I would appreciate any help. |

Hey there! Please post photos of each bottle - and include a close up and clear photo of each label so we can read it. We'll see what we can find out. I don't think I have been successful getting info on Hudson Bay, but I'll check my files. It's possible for us to get some background info, dates, but we don't do valuations and many brand owners do not either. It's good to check on eBay to see if there are any others for sale and what they're going for. Also, consider contacting a company such as McTear's or Bonham's (mctears.com or bonhams.com ) for a value.

After looking at the photos, I add the following:
The Hudson's Bay item would probably have quite a bit of interest to collectors (perhaps especially in Canada, but also in the US and perhaps in Britain). The Johnny Walker (Black?) would also carry a good deal of interest (I myself have an older such bottle in my collection). The Kentucky Tavern would have a strong interest among bourbon collectors. These just don't come up that often, and the one you show is a decanter bottle, which adds value to some collectors. The Old Parr might be of special interest to some collectors, especially after whiskey writer/expert Jim Murray (Jim Murray's Whisky Bible and other books) named an Old Parr as last year's best whiskey in the world. Fine old brand. |

If you're in the US - contact either of these two - Park Avenue Liquors at 212-685-2442 or Ethan Kelly from the Brandy Library at 212-226-5545. They both do valuations. Let us know what you find out.
