Kapsi & Gallega

On the previous page Ron Gabbard showed us
a 5ml tear drop shaped bottle from Kapsi. I had
not seen it before but the bottle rang a bell.
The Theme search on Miniature Bottle Library
really is my friend. A search on Tear Drop
quickly found this bottle from Gallega of Spain.
But wait, that Peso coin cannot be Spanish as
it is dated 2010 and Spain used the Euro then.
However a Google search found a box of these
bottles that says, on the side, Gallicia, Espana.
So yes, this is Spanish but it just shows how
careful you have to be when identifying where
a bottle came from.

I decided to look up Kapsi also and found that
they make 7 tear drop bottles and sell them in
a tube of 6, usually all the same spirit but at times
mixed. They are €6.50 for 6 from a retailer called
Nicolas in France. A bargain given how much

packaging there is for 30ml of spirit.
From their Facebook page they also
seem to be popular as ‘wedding
favours.’

Shown in the tubes are kirsch,
absinthe, rhum and poire william. Not
shown are mirabelle, prune &
framboise.
