It’s been a couple years since I got a vintage Dickel Whiskey bottle… I keep meaning to paint the leather red to match how it appeared in original Star Trek. pic.twitter.com/WdAe9ZgKwI

Actually, it's a brandy, not a whiskey. It's Saurian brandy, but Captain Kirk is currently concerned with the quantity of alcohol, not the favor of it.
The prop masters for the Original Series adapted a 1964 model of George Dickel brand sippin' (there's no 'g' at the end) whiskey for this futuristic bottle. It also appeared on Deep Space Nine. The bottles, where are, of course, no longer in production, are highly-prized collectibles among Trekkies. Other iconic Star Trek alcohol containers are, too.

I've got one but nowhere near the perfection of the linked. Missing the pour spout for starters which makes it hard to use if I want to decant something for a gathering. On the bottom opposite SOUVENIR BOTTLE it says: 27 YEARS OF STUBBORNNESS BUT WE MADE IT. I popped over to ebay and checked how much similar bottles have actually sold for. Not perfect but $20-$45.00. Makes the price on the linked item a bit suspect I think, but it someone wants one that's not a reproduction they're out there.
