In reply to Isaac Edmiston. I'm not an expert on vintage spirits but there are a number of dealers online who would give you a valuation. Here's collector in Germany that might be helpful: https://www.hc-rumsammlung.de/Startseite Alternatively, have a party, invite me and others, and we can all vote on what the bottle of rum is (was) worth :)

Hi Neil
If I had found a bottle of managing directors reserve fine old Normandy rum how would I be able to value it?

Yes my brother and some mates often snuck in there, when the river flooded the bottle labels would often float downstream. I recall the labels well, the building was timber like a Queenslander but unpainted and grey like an old fence post. We lived in bald hills ( level crossing ) and used to trap finches in a huge paddock opposite us
( now it’s the freeway ) 1 pub, Marcie’s store, Dr smouch, mangoes in every yard.

I remember the bullocks pulling the tanks from the distillery across Gympie road beside the Shire Hall ,to the railway station.. One of the distillery owners sons was in my class in primary school & remember it closing. Remember Hooper & Mole Blacksmiths plus Piggets bakery & store. Jessica.
