That’s a nice one, but I haven’t touched that stuff since college.

I was given two different Wild Turkey decanters, in the late 1970s/early 1980s and they sat on the sideboard in our dining area and though neither was ever opened, by the time we moved in 2003 the contents had all evaporated. I stocked a liquor cabinet here in 2003 and the still sealed bottle of Wild Turkey remains full. My visitors seem to gravitate to the Scotch and Absolut. Probably in the last quarter century the only distilled spirits I've consumed are hot buttered rums during the holidays.

These were my grandfathers. Probably late 60's early 70's. I remember them as a kid. He didn't drink just was given as gifts. He died 2000 and when I got them I think there was a little WT and no IM. The bottles are cool. Keepsake.

I was in the wholesale and retail liquor business for 29 years, dealt with Austin-Nichols for all that time, but I never bought a Wild Turkey decanter in all that time. I wasted all of my excess funds on hunting, competition shooting, and Parker collecting, and my family. Silly me. I did assist my retail collectors of decanters in their efforts to bring their collections to a higher level.
