Would love to have folks add to this list done by Travel Ninja and updated quite frequently. It’s just nice to have some kind of reference pertaining to the secondary market.

Bourbon Blue Book
Updated 10/10/14 in preparation for a forthcoming relaunch.
This is an attempt to provide a reference for the value of special bottles of bourbon and rye. This estimates a replacement value based on the secondary market. This should be used for insurance purposes and other legal activities. Trust these as much, or as little as you want, but they are not the authority, just my best effort.
This is certainly not a reference sheet for purchasing to sell, as you may get left holding what you bought. Please don’t buy bourbon to flip it, as it helps no one. You’ll probably lose money, and you won’t like what you purchased because you didn’t buy it to drink.
Help Us:
Soon you will be able to enter the information into a form that will feed the automated database. Please do not submit any more prices to us via e-mail.
Description:
There are value ranges listed when there is a difference in vintage or there is a lack of consistent data.
If a value is not listed, it is either because there were not enough prices to provide anything reliable, or we are waiting until it has time to sell off the shelves before we publish it.
Values indicated include shipping
If there is an * after the value, use caution. The values with the asterisks designate a value with a lower confidence interval. This could be due to a small sample size, or high standard deviation of reported prices.
