|

Hi I couldn't open your picture link
Is it the BELL'S 1975?
150th Anniversary
50CL / 40%
Blended Scotch Whisky This one is 50cl not 75cl.
The 150th Ann. Ed. is for sell at The Whisky Exchange for 499 British pounds. However, I don't think that is the one you have due to the amount of spirit in the bottle (discrepancies). Try to post the photo a different way so we can see it. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

Found it!
Bell s Blended Scotch Whisky, Tan and Cream Wade Decanter
A blended scotch whisky from Arthur Bell & Sons that was bottled in this wade decanter in the 1980's.
Details
ABV: 40%
Content: 75CL
Price: £75.00
You may wish to just hold on to it for another 10 years and see if its value increases some which is likely. Who knows you may develop a taste for Scotch yourself as you get older.
Being a present to your father, it's also a nice memory.
Cheers

Although these are iconic whisky decanters they dont tend to fetch much at auction but it should get a few pounds.
If you contact scotchwhiskyauctions.com or mctears.co.uk they should be able to advise you of the current auction value, remember there will be auction costs to come off the selling price which usually works out around 20% and you have to get it to the auction, you can take it there or post it.
Another selling option is to try contacting one of the whisky shops which buys whisky, you could try The Whisky Exchange, their link is at the top of the page. I hope you get a good price whatever you decide. |

Thank you to everyone for your responses.
I will have a chat with my Mum, but personally feel it may be best to keep hold of it for a while.
Cheers  |
