Scottish names

Some collectors hate these bottles, some love them. They are a miniature (50ml) but some
would say not a true miniature as there is not a 750ml bottle with the same label, although
that would apply to many, many miniatures. I am a collector who likes them, although not
being a Scotch collector, I would not collect them. I do however collect personalised Beam
bottles. This is the first of several articles on personalised bottles. The series will include at
least Wedding Favours and Company bottles.

There are three sets I know of, The Clan Dram, The Clansman & The Clan Malt. There are
at least five label variations of the latter, plus The Clan Blend which is owned by the same
company. The latest version of The Clan Malt/Blend seems to only be sold as a
personalised bottle with any name you want on it, Scottish or not. I will let samples of each
speak for themselves.
