Mike...

The speculative/auction market for older issues of Canadian whisky is practically non-existent, as the demand for such whiskies simply isn't there in a broader (especially international) scope. What's more, these sorts of bottles seem to always pop up left, right and center. And this factor further decreases any potential appreciation in value.

I'd say it's simply a matter of you deciding whether or not to pop the top and drink the contents, and not one of hoping to realize any increase/gain.

I once thought of just collecting these older Canadian whiskies and maybe give 10-20% premium for most of them. Not to really' collect'...just crack them open and compare.

And some of those venerable Canadian whiskies can be rather delicious!

I've tasted some Crown Royal bottlings from the 1950s and 1960s, and they have impressed, especially in comparison to contemporary releases - richer, more mature and smoother overall, and more in line with the Limited Edition and Reserve editions of Crown Royal from the present era.

Another excellent Canadian I've enjoyed thoroughly is a Schenley 15 Year Old Order of Merit distilled in 1952 and bottled in 1967.

So, once again, I'd say open that bottle and take pleasure in what's inside.
