While the ultra-strong green variant (\u003ci\u003eEscorial Grün\u003c\/i\u003e, 56% ABV) is more common today, this bottle contained the rarer Escorial Gelb (Yellow) version, which sat at 42% ABV. The yellow variant was phased out in the 1960s to make way for the 56% green version. Finding one marked Escorial Gelb with its original yellow label still intact adds unique historical appeal for niche alcohol history collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;\"\u003eThese souvenir map decanters were widely produced during the 1960s as collectible marketing items. Production of the yellow variant was discontinued in the later half of the 20th century, making intact bottles with their original labels highly collectible among vintage barware enthusiasts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;\"\u003eCondition Considerations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe porcelain glaze and the front map graphic look crisp, which is excellent.
