Cyprus - more than sherry (part 3)





        I started this series on bottles from Cyprus well over a year ago now. I ran out of space to finish
        the job in the second article (miNiZ102) so it is about time I did so. One of the reasons I was
        reluctant to write a third article is that I only had liqueurs left to show you and I only had six of
        those. However, I have since turned up a few more spirits as well so I will show you them all in this
        article.























        The first three above are from Etko (Haggipavlu), the next bottle is clearly from Keo, followed by
        one from Kykkos Monastery. I cannot find out what company made the Filfar Liqueur.


        Alexander brandy is from Etko and the Sodap brandy is an
                                                         older variation
                                                         of those shown
                                                         in the first
                                                         article. I don’t
                                                         know who
                                                         makes
                                                         Plantova
                                                         vodka.


                                                         Finally we have
                                                         two bottles
                                                         from the
                                                         Turkish
                                                         Republic of
                                                         Northern
        Cyprus. The first of these, Highland Pride Scotch, was
        shamelessly nicked (photo only) from member Jim Crawford’s site. The other, 81 brandy, is from
        S. S. Company.
                                                                                               David Smith
