Finest Dark Rum 5cl surprisingly high for condition at £18. Churton's MAS Old Demerara Navy Rum
            5cl £35.

                                                                     When you get bottles in a group it is hard
                                                                     to tell which one or ones fetched the
                                                                     money. Clearly, in the group on the left,
                                                                     it is not the Captain Morgan Spiced. I
                                                                     suspect it is the Alnwick vatted although
                                                                     it could be the Black Heart that caused
                                                                     this lot to bid to £18.















            The final two rums from That Boutique-Y Rum Company
            were bottled by Drinks by the Dram, part of the English
            company, Master of Malt. They sold for a poor £4 each.

                                               The only ceramic I have to show you this time is one I would
                                               have bid on myself if I had realised it would sell so cheaply. The
                                               Poacher (aka The Fisherman) contains 10cl of Bols Apricot
                                               Brandy. It was made by Royal Doulton in 1954. This is a
                                               variation on the Royal Doulton toby jugs. The others sold as
                                               bottles are Rip van Winkle and Falstaff. A real bargain at £14.











            The set of French Brandies were
            bottled in England by U.W.S. £24
            seems a fair price.















                                            The two, obviously old, Lerina bottles are also French. £2 is
                                            stupidly cheap for these nice embossed bottles.
