new from peru
There have been some great bottles coming out of Peru in recent years. We have shown
many in previous issues of miNiZ but the ones below have been issued in 2013.
The six cars above were made by Destilerias Unidas and each contains 50ml of Royal
Highness Scotch at 40°. There are now almost 50 cars in this series, plus a few sample
variants that have got into circulation. The above are: 2005 Aston Martin V12 Vantage, 2007
London Taxi TX-4, 1955 VW Karmann Ghia, 2005 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2001 New Mini Cooper
& 1993 Lexus SC-430. There is also a 1976 VW Scirocco but I do not have a photo of this
yet.
Number 20 in the cars series was a 1962 Volkswagen
Classic Bus. The same mould has been used to make
a set of four hippie busses and there are also 2 VW
hippie cars. So far I only have a picture of one of
them. Again, these contain Royal Highness Scotch.
I don't know about you but I have never
associated Delft and windmills with Peru!
The four crocks on the left are from
Sotelo. Each contains Vieja Ciudad
Pisco, I assume 50ml.
I'm sure that most of you will remember
miNiZ88 (the X rated edition) in which we showed a number of minis of copulating couples
from Artesanal. Artesanal have surprised us all again with the next two sets, which depict the
Nativity. Not the original you understand but two alternative nativities from Peru. The first is a
set of 9 pieces. The first picture (of course) depicts the baby Jesus and parents Mary &
