Description

It is an old bottle, which has NEW ZEALAND in a teal colored banner near bottom of bottle. At the bottom it has a lable stating Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, celebrating Beam 100 months old. 4/5 quart 86 proof. BOTTLE IS EMPTY.

The main part of bottle has a tree trunk to the left with the opening at the top for pouring the fluid. Beside this trunk is a bird brown in color with its beak downward as if its protectin this egg or something. The color is beautiful.  Still has the bottle stamp on the lid, wth a number 5710555?4 there is one number I can not make out due to the stamp being torn from opening.

Usually reffered to as the 1974 "Kiwi Bird" decanter, this bottle will usually sell online in the US for between $10-20. Sometimes you can get a little more if you are willing to ship overseas...to New Zealand of course...:-)
