Satirical. Ever seen a mini from Namibia? No,
neither had I until I came across NamGin. This is
actually the second version, the first was in the
same shaped clear bottle. On the subject of bottles
from Africa (you did know Namibia was in Africa
didn’t you?) have you seen Malawi Gin? Sticking
with the theme, the ISP that hosts Miniature Bottle
Library recently
got a complaint
that one of the
bottles was
wrongly
attributed to a
competitor and
driving traffic to
a rival’s site – I
wish the site had
that much traffic that such a mistake would make a
difference! What puzzled me is that they could have
emailed the site with the complaint, there are email links
everywhere. Finding the ISP would have been much
more difficult. For all our members from Ghana, and just
to be sure, Takai Liqueur is from Gilhoc Distilleries in
Accra.

Now for some bottles that, I think, are all new out this
year. The five Laodi liqueurs and two Loadi spirits are from a Laos company and these are
their publicity shots. So why use the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a backdrop?

Starting the next page we have a very attractive bottle from Armenia that got carried away
with the number of names on the bottle. Proshyan Brandy Factory Diamond Opera Special
Blend XO Armenian Brandy! This is followed by Amber Vodka from Poland with a piece of
amber in the bottle. Stoli is, of course, a very well known brand but these bottles are new.
