Unopened bottle of Louis XIII. Do not have box it came in. By the bean shaped label it may be late 40's early 50's? Found in grandparents liquor cab
Any guesses on value?

Can't actually see the cork, top wrapper is still around it

I ask because I heard it's important to store a wine bottle on its side to prevent the cork from drying out. That looks like it's been upright a long time and maybe the contents are a little low? I'm no expert, but really cool find

Disregard, I guess that's how it normally looks

I'm sure the cork is dry as it's been stood up for decades apparently. And it's lost 1/4 inch or so to evaporation.
I asked Specs how much for a new bottle ….$3900ish
He said this could easily be valued at much more to a collector
How do you find a buyer for this? Anyone with experience?

You should just drink it. Maybe mix it with Diet Coke or something.

Mountain Dew, then it's Dewey Tres.

I would probably do regular coke with a fancy drink like that….worry about the calories later.

Cool bottle. I'm in some dusty groups on FB that would snatch that up pretty quick.

What do you want for it?

As much as possible...lol

Seriously we're now just trying to find someone who knows enough about rare booze that can help us with a value.
Didn't think about facebook groups....will check out

The decanter is Baccarat. If you drink the last of a bottle at a bar they are supposed to give you the decanter. Its work a couple of hundred on its own.

Do you have the original box it came in?

Per a source of mine…."These are brutally tough a few years ago 2500-3500.
Todays market seems a little hard to get 1800. Missing box and stopper 1500-1800
If you got a cheap way to get it over seas the french market will bring much more"

Edit: wrong emoji ??

" Missing box and stopper significantly hurts the value on these. I would say 1400-1900 without. 2500-3K with."

Looks like the Rarest Reserve label was from 1964-1968.

Edit: looks like maybe a 1950s-60s version actually

I want to know more about the Cutty Sark poster and the apparent pedestal the bottle sits on.
