new new zealand, this & that

I was going to use this set as the
cover bottles until I found the BA
bottle – see later. My thanks to Ken
Chin for finding these (and getting
me a set). The bottles are 100ml,
which I know will not suit everyone
but you have to admit they are
great. The picture of the set below
is not very clear but I have
embedded it at 2479x1296px so if
you expand the pdf it is readable.

The cover bottle is GREAT. I would have loved to have
bought it but at £290 at auction my wife would have
killed me! I can tell you it is Wade, and obviously it
contains The Balvenie 10yo single malt Scotch, but I
cannot tell you when it was made or if it was made for a
special occasion. I do know that it was made either for
sale or as a gift on Concorde. If you know more let me
know please. Excuse the very poor photo of this bottle
from the top, it is the only one I could find – which
seems to suggest that these are extremely rare.

Speaking of great bottles we start the next page with a
th
Larsen Ship made for the 60 Anniversary of the Larsen Cognac Collectors Club. This dates from
th
18 December 2018 and is one of 100 made. Bottles don’t come much better than this!
