hodge911 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) one for the whisky drinkers amongst the P.W clan . I know bells whisky is the budget end of the spectrum but I am just wondering if any one of you nice peeps could give me an idea if this full and unopened bottle is worth trying to sell . I know whisky only ages while its in the cask but the bottle in the picture is over 20 years old as it was bought for my grandma who passed away 20+ yrs ago Edited July 1, 2016 by hodge911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedge Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 According to evilbay - about £10-£15 for the decanter. Can't find much info on one that's still full! http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/bells-whisky-decanters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 do a bit of research, my mother has some from her farther, they come in different sizes, and can make a set up. can be collectable to the right person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzicat Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I prefer a cold bottle o Broon or a pint of Ex meesel an all .

panoma1 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Weren't the decanters made by "Wade"? If so could be collectable but I'm pretty sure they would not fetch much, I have seen plenty of empty ones in different sizes in charity shops for a few of quid! If you have some shooting give it to the farmer/landowner..... that's the best investment I can think of for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
