There must be some weight in a 6 litre crystal decanter, it put me off bidding as i could see me having problems pouring it  |

Alastair you certainly wouldnt pour it with one hand, the Macallan M 6 litre Constantine decanter is 700mm high and weighs in at 11.3kg. When filled with six litres of Macallan at 5.5kg, the total weight of the decanter with whisky is 16.8kg.
