The final gin I have to show you is a 5cl Mary Le Bone London
                                                Dry. I have no idea why it only fetched £2. Belorusskaya
                                                Vodka 5cl did much better at £12.

                                                Gilbey's Odds On Wine
                                                Cocktail was bottled in
                                                the 1940s - £12.
                                                Blandy's Madeiras
                                                Bottled is a great 1960s
                                                bottle. Pity it only fetched
                                                £2. Lamb & Watt
                                                Jamaica Cream
                                                Blackcurrant Rum
                                                Liqueur from the 1950s
                                                got no bid.




















            The Appleton Special Jamaica Rum is an Italian import.
            I would have expected more than £2. The Shipmate
            Dark Rum from Brown & Pank got the same result. The
            Sikkim Teesta 5cl White Rum from India got no bid.


                                                                                For the final two we have two
                                                                                more £2 bottles. A relatively
                                                                                new Keo Ouzo from Cyprus
                                                                                and a Booth's 5cl Finest Dry
                                                                                Gin from the 1950’s.
