Pacific miniatures #1

hawaii

The countries and territories of the pacific have made a surprising number of bottles
over the years. These articles will feature all the Pacific Islands I know of that have
produced minis but will not include the Pacific Rim countries or large island countries,
Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand or our ‘West Island.’ There are so many bottles from
Hawaii that they get an article of their own. The second article will be of islands
associated with France and the third the remainder.

Hawaiian Distillers, aka. Spirit of Hawaii, is by far the most prolific of the Hawaiian
manufacturers so we will start off with a heap of bottles from them.

These bottles feature a Tiki
on the reverse. The Tiki
appears all over the
Pacific, including, of
course, in NZ. There are
more of these cocktails
made especially for
Hawaiian Airlines. In fact
there are more and
variations of most of the
bottles shown in this
article. Look them up on
Miniature Bottle Library if
you want to see others.
Unfortunately these are
plastic bottles.
