100 year old sealed bottle of J.H. Rogers & Co Limestone Whisky, Maysville, KY
Made Spring 1912 bottled Fall 1923. Pre Prohibition. Bottled during Prohibition. //
Interesting bottles...hard fact about selling older whiskies is that nearly all collectors will only buy bottle that are 'viable' to drink.
Bottles with 'cloudy' whisky, or ones that are below the shoulder level of the bottle are not worth very much.
From the looks of your photo, you may have 3-4 that would be considered 'viable' bottles....worth between
$100-$250. (The rest would sell for about $40-$50) //
Update on 100 Year Old Sealed Bottle Of Whisky, Made Spring 1912 Bottled Fall 1923
James from Maryland swung by my place in Ohio to purchase my bottle. After telling the history of my bottle it turns it likely came from the same source shown here by Flyfisherman. A long forgotten prohibition horde discovered during a building rehab near Cincinnati about 10 years ago. My father lived next door to a family selling individual bottles for $6.00 a piece as fun curiosities.
My deal with James was the sale of my bottle along with a sample tasting of some other vintage Whisky. The two of us sat on my back patio and spent a few moments enjoying that exact same batch of whisky from another bottle of the Cincinnati horde that had a weak cork. Tasting Bourbon from 1923 is something everyone should have on their bucket list.
A very enjoyable and memorable transaction with a man who knows more about the History of vintage whisky than anyone I am ever likely to meet again.
Thank You James
