David's Bottles

Despite this edition of miNiZ being late it is still a bit early for an Advent calendar but I’m going to
show it to you anyway. For all our readers who are Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Zoastrians or
assorted flavours of non-believers I should explain that an Advent calendar is a special calendar
used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. The Advent calendar was first
used by German Lutherans in the 19th century but is now ubiquitous among adherents of many
Christian denominations. Consecutive doors are opened every day leading up to Christmas and,
typically, each window will reveal a biblical picture or verse, which, of course, is not good enough
for miniature bottle collectors. This calendar reveals a new miniature bottle of Scotch each day –
pictures below. The single photo is the Christmas Day bottle.
