dSculptor Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hey - My dad just found these decanters -full - I've seen others around, but does anyone know the story on them (Lionstone)? I did some searching and found that Lionstone was a decanter company that filled them up with other whisky? Any idea what whisky was put in them? Tempted to try these , the one on the left is from 1969, and says bottled in Lawrenceburg 8 yrs old, the other 1973 and it says Distilled in Bardstown, my other concern would be the lead issue.

tanstaafl2 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I don't know anything about them but if the one on the right has had cork in it since the 70's I am not so sure it would be very good! And how would someone know if they hadn't already tried to open it? Seems a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dSculptor Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 There are tax strips on the back that are both intact, I guess the one on the right was leaking a little and he tried to turn the head to tighten it and it broke - I think that's what happened. I don't think that the cork is inside with the whisky just broke off in the neck or in the head, I'll have to ask him about that one. Wish I could figure out who's whisky is in them.
