Hi,
No thats not it. Most if not all glenfiddich bottles will state pure malt.
Its the 'Classic' version that I need to find. Thanks for checking for me !

The above link has a picture of the balvenie classic. I believe this came in a 8yr, 12 yr and 18yr old. Mine is the 18yr old. It doesnt give a price as there are none available. Im still none the wiser Crying or Very sad

Their is a NAS Blavenie listed here for Â£295

Remembering that is a shop price I would estimate your 18 year old may be worth about Â£100-£150 more. Just my opinion though.

Have you tried contacting Bonhams in Edinburgh.
http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&screen=Whisky

Bonhams offers free and confidential valuations with a view to selling.
Contact Martin Green whisky[at]bonhams.com If you send them detailed info and images they may be able to advise you on a value for each of your whiskies.

Thanks for that link I've just sent them an e-mail.
I think you are probably correct in your estimation though.
As Im looking for a quick sale I'd actually accept Â£400 for all three.
If anyone is interested just let me know.
