Our cover shows three gins and three
vodkas from a new NZ distiller, The
Vicar’s Son. I was going to do an article
about them but their web site does a
great job:

Incidentally, Graham Crawford, one of
our Australian members, sent me the link
to The Vicar’s Son. Seems that our NZ
members, myself included, are asleep.
They are happy to do mail order.

Unfortunately The Vicar’s Son bottles are the only new NZ bottles I
have to show you. Has anyone found any more? If so, why have you
not emailed us a photo?

There are very few mini bottles that have been
made in our neighbour, Fiji, over the years so
these two new Ratu rums that turned up on
Facebook is news. I have no idea where they can
be bought though.

Member Jose Fernando
Escobar sent me a link to a
company making minis in
Angola:
http://www.uniquebeverages.net/uniquebeverages.net/index.php Shown are Tangawisi Whisky and
Indica Royale Whisky, both 90ml. Again, I nor Jose, know where they can be bought. The only other
known mini bottle from Angola is the Old Vat Whisky.

Yes, you have seen the Balvenie British Airways mini before. It is
10yo, 5cl and was on the cover of miNiZ122. This one sold for
£650 – the highest price for a ceramic mini that I have ever
heard of.
