An Antiques Roadshow guest was left speechless at the "unbelievable" value of three whisky bottles.
The guest bought the three bottles of Johnnie Walker whiskies to Hackney to be valued on a new episode of the BBC One show.
It was up to expert John Foster to give his verdict on the bottles, leaving the woman stunned by its true value.
The lady recalled how the bottles were handed down her family after a landlord who was closing a pub decided to gift them to her grandmother.
She shared how her grandmother was less than impressed and stored the bottles in the loft without much thought.
The guest shared: "They've been in my possession for 50 years, but they came into our house in the 1950s. My grandfather bought them home one day to the horror of my grandmother and said, 'look what I got.'
"The landlord was closing his pub down and said, 'would you like these bottles?' And he said, 'yes.' And she said, 'what am I going to do with those?' They've been put away ever since," as she revealed her grandmother was less than impressed by them.
Expert John Foster explained storing them in the loft wasn't the best idea.
"So when you say they've been put away in the attic, that's not great because obviously, you have got some evaporation that's going on here. So that is going to affect it a bit. The history of Johnnie Walker whiskies is, he starts his own sort of business around the 1820s, 1830s, owning a grocery store in Kilmarnock in Scotland, selling whines and other people's whisky," he said.
"About 30, 40 years later, he realised he was missing a trick. He could blend his own whisky and it became almost an instant success. What you've got here is three varying bottles, but what's interesting is the date of them."
Discussing their significance, he added: "You've got the red label there, which I think this one would date from the sort of 1930s, maybe '40s. But then the rarer white label is much more sort of 1907, 1908, that sort of period."
It was then that he revealed the three bottles would be worth a total of £15,000.
"You know, really, you're sort of looking at around £1,000 for that one," he began, before adding of the other two more expensive bottles, "These two, the levels are low, the labelling is better on one that it is on the other. You can see they've got a bit of damage, but they've still got the nice white label. These ones would be about £7,000 per bottle."
The guest then remarked: "Oh wow, that's unbelievable isn't it?"
