I'm not having much luck figuring out the age of this bottle.
Thought I might ask here in hopes one of you have run across this before and might have insight. Belongs to a friend. He wanted to open and I told him it has some value. Now he's on hold until I figure this out. Any help is awesome. Pics below.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Maybe contact this shop?
Lots of hits on Google for specialty shops / auction sites selling examples. It's credited to Pappy Van Winkle (distiller). |

Its a Stitzel Weller distillery product. I know that. I haven't been able to find an exact example online. Bottles from the 70's are round and the labeling is different. I know this bottle predates 1972 because it still carries the Stitzel Weller distillery on the label. I'm going to contact 2 auction sites, but wanted to see if I could gather info to compare it to what they tell me. |

I’ll ask on a local board for you and see what I can find.
Can you get a picture of the bottom of the bottle please and any additional information on the tax strip (series info if available)? @rob78 Eta: prelim info puts the bottle anywhere from 61-77 based on the strip but if you can get those pics, may be able to narrow down further |

That tax stamp (red paper) is from the 60’s IIRC.
Because it’s Weller, it might be worth a little…if you can find a buyer. I’d personally drink it. |

There are bottles from the 70s that sold for a couple grand to $7k. It's worth something. It's not mine to drink, the owner will probably sell it. Just needs as much info as possible before reaching out to brokers/resellers. |
