If you think you have never seen this Mr Lucky before I am sure
                                 you are right. It is not a mini unfortunately but I suspect it is a
                                 sample bottle. It is one of several bottle pics I get sent each day
                                 at Miniature Bottle Library, mainly by people trying to find out
                                 what they are worth. Usually I can help but I didn’t have a clue in
                                 this case.

                                 The Elite vodka is a premium bottle from the Ukraine and is the
                                 only bottle in this issue with a New Zealand connection – see
                                 below.








           With the temporary closure of bars in
           Singapore, The Old Man Singapore,
           ranked 38th in The World’s 50 Best
           Bars, is quenching the thirst of its
           drinkers with new takeaway cocktails.
           Seven of its signature and classic
           concoctions are now available in sealed
           bags and ready for customers to pick
           up in 15 minutes – or send your Uber.
           President Colin tells me that one of his
           daughters, who lives in Melbourne, is
           also getting cocktails delivered.

           Member John Theisen and his wife (from Denmark) visited Wellington on a cruise at the beginning of
           the year (just before the s—t hit the revolving air mover). Colin and myself showed them around the
           city. We are always pleased to see overseas members and are now up to a record 143 members.

                      New Australian bottles


           The Gins Tasting set was found by member Graham Ramsay and posted on Facebook. The
           other bottles were found by me during lockdown.
