Is this worth anything or should I just open it and drink it

[Chef Kaz]

This is an unopened 1971 old Fitzgerald that has been passed down to me by my father. Is there anyone out there that knows more about it? Is it worth anything?

It’s just okay. Open it up and drink it. Please post tasting notes here when you do.

Can you please post a picture of the back label?

If it has never been opened and seal is intact, you could contact an auction house.

This was ok, average whiskey back in the day.  The label looks like for Christmas season.

Yeah there is some interest in older Old Fitz, but this isn't one of the super desirable/valuable ones.

Drink up my friend. Give us a tasting report.

Everything is worth opening and drinking, how else will you know if you like it??

I saw this bottle purchased at a fund raising auction in Bardstown in 2007.  Winning bid then was $500.

That's one hell of a capital gain.

Another one sold at Unicorn Auctions out of Chicago for $300.  

 

By the time you pay the fees and ship it, I would pop it open next Christmas and have a party!
