If the whiskey bottle is still full and the whiskey is not cloudy it should be good to drink but depending on how old it is, it could be a pretty valuable collector's item as well.
Some early to mid 1900's whiskey bottles can sell for hundreds and even thousands at auction.
To date the bottle you can look for numbers on the bottom. If there's a set of numbers on the right side(ignore any numbers on the left) it's a date code for when the bottle was made for example a "46" would be 1946.
If the tax seal is green(for 100 proof bottled in bond) and not red it will have distilling and bottling dates on it.
