I have a Bushmills Millennium Malt whiskey
Distilled in 1975 from a private cask - cask number 221
For a company called Trans Ocean Distribution
Can anyone tell me if this is rare and what it may be worth. Many thanks

Hi Janes. Welcome to the Forum. Sounds like the one you have below which was valuated between 80 and 100 British pounds.

Here's another lisiting but the cask number is not specified.

Hi, yes it is rare as it is a single cask 25 year old Bushmills. Bushmills bottled a number of single cask Bushmills Millennium Malt 25 year olds. I have saw them sell for around Â£100 - Â£150 at auction and you would probably pay around Â£200+ if buying from a whisky shop. You can see some examples here:
