Looking for advice: I inherited some prewar scotch from my dad.
A Haig & Haig Pinch and a ceramic jug of Red Hackle. Both are unopened. I know it doesn’t age after bottling, and I know these were not the premium scotches of the day. Would like to find a value. Would rather sell them to put a kid through school than drink.

Any ideas? Please be nice!

Get on a drink forum where there may be collectors and ask around. Be careful because you’d be doing business with unknown people.

Not an expert on scotch. Pinch is a blended scotch whisky (scotch is whisky, if it is bourbon or from Ireland, it’s “whiskey”). Probably better if you had a single malt from one of the smaller distilleries in Scotland.

Reading the headline, I got very anxious. However, returning from my pantry, I can (with great relief) report no shortage of Bakers, Noah’s Mill, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Redemption High Rye Bourbon, Knob Hill Small Batch, Basil Hayden, Elijah Craig 12 yr old, Chestnut Farms, Pappy Van Winkle 15 yr old, Willet, Bookers (and several other “lesser” sips). As long as civil society doesn’t collapse longer than a year, I think I’m OK. Phew!!!!!!!
