how old is this

have a few bottles of it and was wondering how old or if its worth anything

Well, I don't know about Powers but on Jameson there is usually a 3-d number on the bottle that has L(number). I think the next number after the letter L is the year. For e.g. L8***** is 2008. See if you can find any marks like that on it and let us know.

There's a few guys around here that could help I reckon.

60's to early 70's I'd guess. Nice bottle but not sure what they are worth. Brockage will probably have a better idea.

This is a pure pot still as opposed to the regular blend we get now.

I maybe interested in a bottle if they are not extortionate.

You won't get an L number on this bottle as the L numbering is a relative new addition to modern bottles.

Does it have a screw cap or a cork top?

wow wish i would have just found 4 bottles of powers .. any age.. nice drink there

yea these are all cork tops.

The previous version to that would of been a 7yo.

These appear to have no age statement so would probably be a mix of whiskies from 5-7 years.

Small bit of evapouration in the all which is to be expect but should be fine to drink.

Guestimate value in current market €150 each.
