Hi, looking for a valuation if possible.

I have a bottle of Bells Whisky in its original bell made by Wade in Perth.

This is the 75cl 40%Vol version so i assume it is pre-1980's as i think they reduced the vol down to 37.5%Vol.

The bell is in mint conditiion, but does not have a box.

I have added a link to the photos here http://imageshack.us/g/1/10066257/

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated, as i am looking to sell it.

Thanks

Whisky is never bottled lower than 40% ABV, if it was bottled any lower than 40% then it wouldnt legally be whisky. They did bottle some Bells Decanters at 43% ABV but never below 40%.

You will find these do not fetch a great deal, have look at www.mctears.co.uk and do a search through prvious auctions for some examples of what the Bells Decanters fetch.

Here is one example of 4 decanters selling for Â£30
