New out in Mexico are these two Sparkle
Donkey Tequilas. I suspect something
was lost (or gained) in
translation.
David writes (Dec): The
tequila is only available
with purchase of the large
bottle. Sweet Revenge is,
I believe, a sample.
The Macallan Sir Peter
Blake set may be most
expensive mini set ever
issued.... £4500. 240 sets were made and they are all
sold. There is one 5cl bottle from each of 8 decades to
celebrate Blake's 80
years.
The advert on the
Macallan site states:
The godfather of pop art, Sir
Peter Blake, celebrates his 80th
birthday. To mark this special
occasion, a team of specialists
have collaborated to create a
limited edition art piece; The
Macallan and Sir Peter Blake
celebrate eight decades.
Ranging from 52% to 62% ABV
the eight very special whiskies
in 5cl miniatures contained in
the box offer a journey through
the character of The Macallan
from the 1930s through to the
2000s.
A very limited number of this
unique art piece is available for
purchase here. Delivery will be
by 17th August 2012.
This Sir Peter Blake is, of
course, not to be confused with the New Zealand sailor with the same name.
This Sir Peter Blake is best known for his design of the sleeve for the Beatles'
album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. He also designed the cover for
the Band Aid single, Do They Know It's Christmas? as well as having a huge
body of other work.
David sent the other four photos without explanation, except to say that they
are new, so I will let them speak for themselves.
