But...I didn't know it was in the BoT. I thought it was some hillbilly whiskey decanter because it says "Lay Off This is the Old Man's Private Stock." Doesn't that sound like a hillbilly Ozark kind of souvenir? But I liked the skull cork. I wanted to use it on this vintage Trader Vic Suffering Bastard decanter that I have that is corkless. But it didn't fit, it was too big. It was too big for my rum bottles as well. So what did I do? I took some superfine steel wool and removed all the lettering from the decanter. I didn't know until now goddammit! The sad thing is, if the cork would've fit my TV decanter I would've put this jug in the closet and it would be intact (and it was in perfect condition) today.
