Executive Fantasia 165 month Sealed Beam 71 Whiskey Value?

[beamer]

I have a sealed unopened genuine Regal China decanter of 1971 Executive Fantasia Jim Beam Whiskey Aged 165 Months in Custom made Box! My parents received as a gift in 1971.

I was wondering if someone knew or could estimate the value of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm sure it's worth something.

Personally, to me, whiskey is only worth what I taste in the bottle. While I have bottles that some might be consider 'appraisal' worthy (perhaps some even at a future day / time), I'm not one to value things on 'appearance'.

You might check some of the sites that have these sorts of decanters to get some idea.

Do you know, does the top have cork on the inside?
