What drives this bottle's value

J&B 15 Year Old Reserve is a standard release without strong scarcity signals such as a single vintage, a long age statement, a single-cask outturn or a limited edition. Its secondary-market value is driven mainly by ongoing auction demand for J&B rather than by built-in rarity.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
