I'm sure it has a lot of value for collectors I would try and get an estimation from someone in the industry as it would mean the most for someone who collects and has a nice collection of scotch. The bottle maybe empty but it is an item from the early history of the industry so you might want to contact either someone in the industry - like the management of a manufacturing company or to treat it as an historical item and just turn to an antique specialist.
A right appraisal from an auction house expert, a museum or any other respectable authority might double the value as people love things with official stamps to it.

Sorry heather,

I'm not an expert on the subject, to be sure you get reliable information it is always helpful to mention that you are giving it for appraisal to two independent persons, from my experience this usually work like a charm.
