of rum/rhum. Saint Aubin made the three Rhum
Agricole bottles. The first is a plain white rum, the
second a vanilla flavoured and the third a coffee
caramel flavoured one.
Green Island rum is made by International
Distillers Mauritius. All are basically white
rums although the first shown, Superior Gold,
is lightly coloured by barrel ageing.
The four bottles on the left again
show the French influence. I
suspect that they are part of a
much larger set. United Spirits
Producers produced these
Chatel brand Punch bottles.
From left to right the flavours are
Citroen Vert (Lime), Letchis (I
had to look this one up, it’s
Lychees), Vanille (you don’t
need to know any French to work
this one out) and Planteur
(Planter, a generic mixed
flavours name).
Obvious there will be more bottles and bottle variations from Mauritius. Picture please for both miNiZ
and Miniature Bottle Library.
