Some thoughts on this:
There are a bunch...Hi Lynn! Some thoughts on this:<br /><br />There are a bunch of Beam Decanter groups/websites online who would know more about your collection. It's like a whole whiskey "scene". I'd recommend starting at http://www.jimbeamclub.com/ then Googling around.<br /><br />If you live in the US like I do, we as individuals are very limited in our ability to sell bottles of whiskey. "Limited" as in, we can't do it legally. So I can't really provide much advice there. You can check with the good chaps at http://www.lawhiskeysociety.com/pages/information-rare-old-whiskey-value perhaps? <br /><br />Meanwhile, I've seen empty decanters at many many antique shops, so there are definitely people buying, selling, and collecting those. Sorry, I can't be of more help but my knowledge in this corner of the whiskey collectible world is limited.

So here goes...<br /><br />There's a wide range of cat fur smells, extending from clean healthy cat to a gang of feral cats in heat. The former doesn't smell like much at all, it just smells very clean and fresh. I don't know how cats do that. The latter is made up of follicle oils, piss, crap, and pheromones; it's very intense; one can almost feel the scent in the air. The fur I'm talking about is somewhere in between, closer to the former though likely driven by the follicle oils. Think about the natural skin oils from dogs, horses, hamsters, and the human scalp. The cat fur I'm thinking of is less aggressive than those but a little more odorous than a fur coat.<br /><br />I don't know if any of that helps. The best thing I can suggest is pick up a cat and smell it (but not the butt).Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-76299514944208602782015-03-12T22:42:29.744-04:002015-03-12T22:42:29.744-04:00Glad to see you are still unleaded...Glad to see you are still unleaded...Eric Burkehttp://www.bourbonguy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-62507672819233403142015-03-12T16:20:41.132-04:002015-03-12T16:20:41.132-04:00What exactly does "cat fur" smell like a...What exactly does "cat fur" smell like anyway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
