The shot glass bottles, all of which are from Independent Liquor, were found by Ken Chin & myself
and all should still be available in 4 or 6 packs. There are also a few older shots still around and even
the odd one made in Aussie. I will let them speak for themselves.
This set of liqueurs is from Norfolk Island and is
known as 'The Forrester Collection.' Colin Ryder
has recently been there and brought back a
couple of sets for any member who wants them (at
cost). First come, first served, email Colin at
rydercj@xtra.co.nz if you want a
set.
From Norfolk Island it is another
2 hour flight to Australia proper.
My apologies but I cannot
remember who sent me this
photo. Genuine Tom Cobb Australian Spirit is a type of whisky. It is 50ml, 40% and
in a plastic bottle. It is available over there currently.
I was going to write an article about bottles with 100
on them but this proved to be surprisingly difficult. Not
only could I not find many but most of the ones I could
find had been shown in miNiZ in the not too distant
past (€100 note from Vundec, Queen Mother's 100th
book from Rutherford, 100th anniversary of Scott's
death Rutherford jug). I found a Cognac from
Salignac, 'Over a Century' but I guess that applies to miNiZ101. Which
just leaves the Suntory Golf Ball bottle shown. I'm sure there are more
and if you can come up with some I will show them in the miNiZ101.
You will find various references in this edition to problems selling minis
