If you're in the US, try emailing the LA Whiskey Societyabout your bottle for a direct valuation.

The value of pre-prohibition whiskey bottles depends on many factors. Most importantly, to have any value to collectors, the liquid inside must be clear and unclouded. Secondly, the higher the fill level the higher the value. Bottles with fills above shoulder level are much more desirable. And thirdly, the seal of the bottle should be intact and it must be unopened.

Besides that, value is mainly determined from recent auction and retail sales, though with pre-prohibition bottles there are usually few direct comparables to use as a guide. Collectors will pay judging on things like overall condition, brand/distillery name and history, how old the bottle is (how "pre" pre-prohibition it is), and other factors.

How much is a bicentennial bottle of jack Daniels worth?

What "bicentennial" is it commemorating? If it is a U.S. Bicentennial, it should be a 1976 bottle, not a 1996. If it is commemorating 200 years of Jack Daniels whiskey, it is probably worth whatever the whiskey is worth. Find an alcoholic on a day or at a time when the liquor stores are closed, and, if he has the money, he will probably pay you whatever price you ask for it. You can retrieve the collectible bottle from beside the railroad tracks a few hours later and sell it on eBay.

Does Whiskey go bad after opening?

It really depends on how it was kept, which method it was sealed, the age of it, so forth. Whiskey fortunately (or unfortunately...) does not age in a bottle. For example, if a properly sealed bottle produced in the 30's was opened today, it would look and taste exactly the same way it did when it was sealed. So, if you happen to have a properly sealed bottle; no evaporation, tax seal intact and unsevered, and no debris in the bottle, it should be fine to consume.HOWEVER! It is in my opinion that you should take extreme precautions when attempting to do so. If the bottle was kept by a relative, or a person whom you happen to know, you should be safe. Be weary of buying online, as quite a few scam artists have cropped up recently buying old spirit bottles with tax seals intact, filling them with who knows what (possibly newer whiskey), and taping or gluing the seal back together. I myself have had the misfortune of buying a 1963 bottle of Seagrams VO, only to find it had the seal split, and Canadian Club poured in inlew of the proper contents. Thankfully it only cost $40, but things could have been worse....
