David's Bottles

As with previous miNiZ, I again have some great new minis to show you, over 70 this time, starting
with some Scotches & 5 Scottish gins.

Colonsay is the first gin. This is from a Scottish island which boasts 135
inhabitants. It’s 100ml but I really like the label. Kirkjuvagr is from
Orkney and Makar from Glasgow. Strathearn looks like it is a barrel
aged gin and Old Raj is from the well known Caddenheads.

Chivas Royal Salute has
a totally different label
and the bottle is different
too. It now has a Lion’s
Head instead of the previous Knight on Horseback. There are only
these three colours. David Smith reported seeing two others on-line,
purple and black, but these are the result of bad photography! The
blown glass is the Wild Haggis from Stylish. The Isle of Raasay
Distillery opened in Summer 2017 as the island's first legal distillation
facility. Robert Burns is a new Tube Scotch. Highland Park 18 a sample only for the US
included as a gift if you buy a Highland Park 750ml 12 year old.
