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.
