a 58 year old in 2012.
This is a 50ml bottle at
47.2%. I know that you
are expecting this to be
expensive. It was!
€1,011 (about NZ$1580
at time of writing this).
Even more expensive is
our next, old and boxed
whisky bottle, this time
a Japanese one. The
Karuizawa 1964 whisky
is another 50ml bottle,
his time at 47.5%. This
was bottles as a 48
year old from cask
#3603. A snip at only
€1,206 (about NZ$1885
at time of writing this).

As a whisky collector I would love to have both of these bottles but at these prices they are
completely out of my league. Who pays these sort of prices?

I’m about to have a moan again. Other than Peter Bonkovich and

Frank Wynn I have received no other articles for this issue (Ron
th
Gabbard’s is left over from the 100 edition, as is my Castles
article). I now have no, none, not one article in stock. If I don’t get

several for the next miNiZ there will not be a next miNiZ!
