 |
|
I have just had given an unopened bottle (in its box) of Dimple Whisky. It's wire is fully intact. I have no idea of it's age but I suspect it is over 40 odd years old. It has 74 proof on the neck label.
Simply should I open and enjoy  or save it or sell it?
I would be grateful if someone could shed some light on it.
Regards |

| At the age you say and if it is in good condition it would be considered quite rare and collectable and may be worth £100 - £200. Only you can decide whether to open it or sell it. If you do decide to try sell it i know The Whisky Exchange buy bottles like this so it may be worth contacting them. |

| Dimple (known as Pinch in North America) has always been a deluxe blended whisky. I havent tried the Dimple of over 40 years ago but i know the Dimple of today is a very good quality blended whisky. Personally i would open it out of curiosity. |
