Aguardente is rum in it’s widest sense. The above three (note the third bottle says rum but look at
the barrel) are all from Madeira. £14 seems a bit cheap. The two Gilbey’s are lovely old bottles,
1960’s in fact. £95 seems high but obviously more than one collector really wanted these minis.
Our final rum is on the row below. Appleton Extra Light Jamaica Rum is said to be a 1940’s mini. It
has an Italian importer’s label on the back. £18 seemed about right.

No2 in the January auction was this Karuizawa from 1984 which was bottled in 2018 for the Hong
Kong Miniature Liquor Club. £1300 – whew!

On the next page we start with a Glenmore's Tom Hardy straight American Whisky from the 1950’s -
£30. Four Roses is an Italian import with a sigloi (seal). Siglio bottles always sell well and this bottle
was no exception at £50. It always amazes me how much some of these Chartreuse sell for. This is
a yellow from the 1950’s and it took £45 to buy it. Finally we have the four Polish Polugar (bread
wine) vodkas. The pair sold for a very disappointing £16.

That’s it for miNiZ122 – more in miNiZ123 in 3 months.
