The second and third rows of The Clan Malt above show two variations, note the belt and
compare the cat in the centre of the two Smith bottles.

AS far as I can tell the ones above are the last The Clan Malt
bottles made as a set for sale in Scottish souvenir shops. The
bottles are now made to order with whatever names you want.
Templates for these bottles, both a malt and a blend, are
shown on the right.
Dozens more of these bottles can be found on Miniature
Bottle Library, http://www.minibottlelibrary.com/mbl/index.html
Chose Straights then Scotland. I also know of many more The
Clan Malt bottles we do not have pictures of. A list of these
can be found at the same URL. We do not have a similar list
for the other sets but we are sure there are many more –
PICTURES PLEASE.

a lesson for webmasters

Earlier this year I was updating the club web site, including checking links for the other Mini Bottle
Clubs. When I clicked on the Italian Club site I got a site selling football journeys. I checked and the
URL shown was correct. I thought the site had been hacked and emailed a contact in the Italian
club to find out what had happened. It appears whoever was responsible in the club forgot to renew
the domain name and it was picked up by the football jersey selling company. This company has
nothing to do with the club or miniature bottles but it has picked up an address that has a lot of
traffic and links to it. These scumbags will use the URL at least until traffic drops off but never allow
the club to use it again. The Italian Club does still have a Facebook page and that is linked from
both NZMBC & MBL.
