Any Liquor specialist / Liqour decanter collectors here?

I came across a SEALED decanter of Beam whiskey. Still has the US Goverment tax stamp intact. the stamp says SERIES 112.

The decanter has 1969 stamped on & it says whiskey was aged 50 years.

So this is possibly a 90 year old whiskey. Worth anything of value?

Might be to a collector. It ain't wine. I think it only lasts for so long before it goes bad but don't quote me. I'd crack it open and drink it.

If I see OBAMA on TV anymore I may crack it open

The whiskey is not where the value would be. The value would come from the decanter if it is considered a good on.

Hope that helps, Kip

beam was put into many bottles, alot of elvis bottles had beam in it. i know it should have more value with an un-broken seal. you need to get on the antique roadshow show and find out what its worth.:wink: they maight even give you a good story to go with it.

Yes Lots of Decanter companies had Beam or other whiskies in it.

I like collecting them to display. I have the NEW HAMPSHIRE State & the OLD MAN ON THE MOUNTIAN decanters.

I have many more too like the APOLLO SPACE MAN & the Apollo ROCKET with Original boxes. But none have booze in them except my latest find of Mt rushmore & the presidents.
