How can I tell how old a liquor bottle is?
Some liquor bottles have a two digit number molded into the glass. Using whisky bottles as an example, you’ll find the number in the lower right when looking at the bottom. This can tell you within a year or two when the whisky was bottled. On 1stDibs, find vintage and antique liquor bottles from some of the top sellers around the world.
