This Ezra Brooks issue contained 12 year old, 90 proof “real sippin’ whiskey” and went on sale at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 27, 1972. It sold for $15.20. This price was $10.40 more than the same whiskey in a standard bottle. 6,000 fifths were sold that day for a total of $91,200 according to published reports. Sculptor Bernard Hasenstab designed the decanter for Heritage China that stands 11” high by 8”
