Figural & Collectible Spirit Gifts

How to choose a figural decanter

A figural decanter is a spirit bottled in a shaped vessel, often ceramic, made to look like an animal, an object or a figure. The spirit is meant to be enjoyed. The vessel is meant to be kept, and collectors put it on display once the bottle is finished.

Start with the person

For the hunter or angler, choose a decanter shaped like the game they know: the Ducks Unlimited ceramic mallard, the National Deer Association deer-head bottle, Turkey Tom, or the Wild Clay Collective trout. For the veteran, the Tribute Series pairs a 10-year Kentucky straight bourbon with a dog tag pendant in Navy, Marines and 250 Year editions. For the tequila fan, Don Chinto Reposado comes in a hand-painted longhorn bull.

Match the spirit to their taste

Most figural bottles here hold bourbon. Scotch drinkers can explore the Lost Distillery range, which recreates the style of Scottish distilleries that closed long ago, including Lossit on Islay, Dalaruan in Campbeltown and Stratheden in Fife. Japanese whisky fans can choose Meiyo 15 Year Pure Malt or Yamato Takeda Edition.

Think about where it will live

Ceramic decanters are made for a shelf, a mantel or a home bar. Keepsake sets like the Immortal Clan knight bar cart or the Ducks Unlimited rifle-box case come as a complete presentation.
