I have just cleaned out my dad's liquor vault and have several bottles of rye whiskey along these lines. I would like to know the value! Where do I go? How do I sell?

http://WhiskeyBent.net You have a very neat bottle here that is in rough shape but may have decent whiskey in it. How high is the fill line? Is the whiskey clear of debris and not cloudy? 

Old Overholt has been around a long time and this particular brand pops up on a fairly regular basis.

I would up a value of $100 on this bottle with the info given and condition of the label.
