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.
