Condition Factors
- -Tax strips, age statements, and bottler details help date vintage bourbon accurately.
- -Fill level and seal condition are usually the biggest value drivers after the identity of the bottle itself.
- -Dust and normal shelf wear are fine, but labels still need to be readable enough to identify the bottle.
- -Bottle size matters. Older quarts, pints, and non-standard sizes can be more or less desirable depending on the release.
- -Some decanters have real value, but most depend heavily on brand, era, fill level, and whether they are still sealed.
- -Mixed bourbon collections can be submitted together. We sort out what is collectible and what is not.

Common Questions
Is all old bourbon valuable?
No. Some old bourbon bottles are collectible, while others are common and trade for little. The exact brand, era, proof, and condition determine whether a bottle has real market value.
Do decanters have value?
Some do. Certain older bourbon decanters are collectible, especially from desirable producers or limited runs. Many others are mainly decorative. Send photos and we will tell you which is which.
Do you buy single bottles?
Yes. We buy single vintage bourbon bottles as well as larger inherited or mixed collections.
What if I have mixed bourbon and scotch?
Send everything together. We buy both categories and can review a mixed whiskey collection in one submission.
How quickly can you quote a collection?
We typically respond within one business day for straightforward submissions. Larger or more unusual groups can take a little longer to sort through.
Do tax strips matter?
Yes. Tax strips often help date old bourbon bottles and support authenticity review. Include close-up photos when they are present.
What if I inherited dusty bourbon and know nothing about it?
That is common. Start with group photos and a few close-ups of the oldest or most unusual bottles, then text them to 213-770-9463 or submit through the form. We will help identify what matters.
