Liquor Decanters

Thinking about the bottles of liquor that I got from my father, I started thinking about some decanters that I bought from a friend about 8 years ago when he was selling his house. He owned a package shop for 40 years and had a room full of decanters. I bought a few. They really are cool. I gave my son and SIL a bottle of Jack Daniels in a clear bottle not in the shape of any that you have seen in 30+ years. It had Jack Daniels written/painted on the bottle. I told them do not open it.

I used to do a tremendous amount of international travel. As best I remember, there was a route that handed these out, a different design each week or month. I’ve had them forever.

Jeppo, what country? Nice

I’m not sure at all but I’m guessing the airline might have been KLM, somehow tied in with Northwest????

Iknow of a guy in Rock Hill SC that must have 50 or 60 of those Wild Turkey decanters. Won't part with any of them. Is the Robert E. Lee thing a decanter, or just a figurine? It's very cool.

Jeppo, are you sure they are liquor decanters from Amsterdam?
When I fly now, I am lucky to get a .10 bag of peanuts.

I’ve never opened one. I’ll go shake one, maybe there’re peanuts inside.

I learned to love Scotch watching my grandfather enjoy the brand he bought at a discount chain drugstore. Today, a “normal” bottle would would set one back around $350.

"Since the 1950s, we present every World Business Class passenger with a unique gift: a Delft Blue miniature traditional Dutch house, filled with Dutch gin, also known as genever.

Each one of them depicts a real Dutch building. Every year on 7 October we celebrate our birthday by presenting a new house.

Over the years, our miniature houses have become desirable collectors' items, generating a lively trade amongst passengers. "
