A Man, a Mouse and a Sailing Ship
At the first glance, the juxtapositions in the title seem at least strange, if not
intriguing, but they have something to do with three of the whisky miniatures
in my collection. Of course, for some of the collectors, things are clear when
they see the three scotch miniatures below. But I dare say, not for most of
them. For them, I will present below, briefly, the motivation of the associations
in the title of the article.
As you can see from the first miniature, the character represented is Robert
Burns, considered the national poet of Scotland (1759 - 1796). The miniature is
a blended scotch, but there is also a single malt miniature, just like the 700 ml
bottles. The whiskey is produced by Isle of Arran Distillers, Lochranza, Scotland.
The miniature has a volume of 50ml and 40% vol. Alc.
